Norbert - WoK Emotion
To expression our emotions, i.e. whether we are happy or sad, we look at others, and ‘copy’ how they express their emotions. It is scientifically proven that people often copy what others do, then act the way others do appropriately. However, how we feel (our emotions) are felt deep within us, and that is affected by our upbringing and experience. This is why parents are very important to a child’s upbringing. Parents guide them on how the child should think, and how to FILTER the physical raw data we are given everyday. It could also be innate. When you see a situation, everyone reacts differently, regardless of your upbringing and experience, and has different feelings and emotions. This could be different depending on your genetic layout.

i agree with what youve said about parents.
You did not explain why emotions can also be innate because "if emotions are affected by upbringing and experience", how could we exclude them on reactions to a situation?
I guess you are taking both a rationalist's and empiricist's view from what I read from your blog. If you are saying that we copy from other people, where is this 'scientific prove'? Also, what is this thing 'deep within us'? A Soul? Hormones? Chemical Reactions? Please be specific and provide the 'scientific prove' instead of just stating it.
I agree with your point that we learn emotions from our parents and thats why they are important in our upbringing. I agree that we are all different therefore we must also have innate emotions.
