Positive emotion

Some of the benefits associated with the experience of positive emotion is living a healthier lifestyle. When you experience emotions of a positive nature it of course keeps your stress levels at good balance. This will keep you from developing different health issues because your immune system has been compromised due to your body being weak having to over compensate for the emotional stress that can result in physical and mental impairment as well. According to (Kessler et al, 1994) Women are more likely to experience negative emotions and internalize disorders such as depression and anxiety rather than man. I do not fully agree with this statement, I feel that it may seem that way because women are automatically viewed as the more emotional softer natured species. Whereas men are automatically viewed as the stronger less emotional keep it together species. With that being said I think that men are just not paid close attention to unless they express feeling depressed themselves. It is like when a woman “flips out” or shows any negative emotions (Sadness, anger, etc.) they determined depressed or experiencing PMS. When a men “flips out” he is determined to be a thug and a threat to society instead the reason him going to extremes like breaking the law or showing a lack of impulse control could simply be depression and mental anguish. I just feel that these ideal clichés that people have of each species are unrealistic in the since that what fits the bill for the first five does not necessarily fit for the second group of five.
