According to the article it states that, “Sharing emotions and empathy", "Motivation to overcome difficulties and optimisms" and extroversion correlated proportionally with them. The function feeling correlated proportionally with the factor "Sharing emotions and empathy" and it correlated inversely with the factor "Recognition of nonverbal expression of emotion of the other people”. The article simply explains how one can use his or her emotions to complete task in many different forms. For me this article in this paragraph applies to me. I tend to use my emotions for decisions at times, and I definitely motivate myself with my emotions in order to motivate others to feel the importance of what he or she is…
There are many influences on emotional behavior like personality, culture, gender, social convention, and more, but one that I have a constant struggle with and try to address, is fear of self-disclosure, which means the fear of revealing information about himself or herself to another and risk unpleasant consequences. I'm one of those people that tries to be honest all the time, but deep down I usually don't disclose really deep personal things about me. It's not that I'm afraid of what people will think because people will always judge. I'm not here to please everyone, just the people I care about. It's that I personally feel vulnerable. I don't want to show vulnerability in front of others. I do disclose personal information about myself…
In order to have a high self-esteem and be happy, people need to establish what self is. Everyone has self-esteem according to Twenge. Since childhood, people are told to “just be themselves,” so that others can accept us for who we really are. Even though being true to oneself personality wise, people act differently, depending on the situation at hand. One does not usually act the same way in school as they do in a home setting. One does not talk the same way to a friend as they do to a teacher. It is all dependent on what the situation calls for. Twenge says that when wanting to know how to act in a social situation, one should “just be themselves” (Twenge 491). With this being said, a person with high self-esteem will have the confidence to be themselves because they value who they are, while a person with low self-esteem will find it hard to be themselves because they will think that people will not like them for who they are. Therefore, a front is put up and people act differently when interacting…

The culture of the arts took off during Romanticism. In literature there were leading writers like, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, and Byron changing how prose was written. In music, composers like, Beethoven, Wagner, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky were making their romantic impact in music. Romanticism could even be seen in paintings by: Gros, Goya, and Delacroix. However, the biggest cultural impact seen during this time is the invention of the folklore. Hobsbawm believes, “The Folk’ could be revolutionary concept, especially among oppressed peoples about to discover or reassert their national identity, particularly those which lacked a native middle class or aristocracy. (266, Hobsbawm, The Age of Revolution). These folk stories and songs were extremely…
