More About Emotion
What doesemotion mean?
An emotion is a spontaneous mental reaction, such as joy, sorrow, hate, and love. Emotions always involve mental activity and sometimes have physical effects on the body, as in She could tell what emotion he was feeling by looking at his face.

What causes someone’s emotions and how someone feels or expresses their emotions differs from person to person. You and your friend might both feel sad to have failed an important test. Your reaction to your sad emotion might be to cry, while your friend’s reaction might be to shout.

Where doesemotion come from?
The first records of emotion come from the 1570s. It ultimately comes from the Latin ŧDZŧ, meaning “to disturb.”
Emotions are part of the human consciousness. They often strongly affect a person’s behavior, and many people will go to extremes to not have to feel a negative emotion, such as fear, or to feel a positive one, such as happiness.
People are often told to control their emotions, especially children. But emotions are spontaneous responses. That is, they happen without conscious thought or planning. We can’t control them, and there is no right or wrong emotion. Emotions just are. Instead, we can control our reactions to our emotions. When we’re angry, for example, we can choose to say so rather than punch something.
Scientists theorize that humans aren’t the only animals capable of experiencing emotions. For example, if you approach a mouse, it will most likely run and hide from you out of fear. And research has shown that chimpanzees seem to behave in ways that suggest they feel emotions such as sadness, joy, and love.
