Emotions are innate. From the very day we were born, we would weep and feel sad when we were hungry, sick, uncomfortable. We would feel happy, when our parents play with us, watch TV, amused by objects or beings. We smile and laugh, since when we were babies.
However, when we grow up, mature, we learn other feelings of this society, like guilt, ashamed, disgusted of what we have done. This can only be known when we have something to compare to, what is good or bad to do. Also, many of these emotions, we learn how to express them more effectively. Example, when we're sad, we do not only cry, but invent ways expressing our feelings, this maybe singing, become silent, speechless and even stoned. Of course, we can learn not to show our emotions, for example not to shout, scream, tremble when we are scared. . Therefore, emotions are innate, but some are learnt from other people and how to filter and express their emotions.
