Emotions constitute an integral part of the human experience and are crucial to the development of the characteristics such as empathy, curiosity, and the ability to communicate, in general. The latter, in fact, entails an important question of whether emotions serve the purpose of having a particular personal experience or whether motions are used as a communicative tool for conveying important information to others. Although the expressivity of emotions and the presence of a social function that it is expected to perform, the effect that emotions have on people’s well-being indicate that the specified tool has been developed primarily for the purpose of self-expression and a method of giving vent to one’s feelings.
In addition, the external influences that shape the emotions that one may experience are also quite curious to study. Namely, it is believed that the presence of extraneous factors, such as other people, affects the expression of emotions, as well as their depth and the impact that they have on an individual (Moran et al, p. 273). The connection between the effects that motions produce and the presence of other people can be tracked down when studying how one reacts to certain factors emotionally.
The importance of communicating emotions to others is defined primarily by the need to shareexperiencese and participate in social interactions. By showing emotions to others, people convey important messages about the effects that the actions of others or a specific phenomenon have produced on them, thus offering very honest and clear feedback that determines the further development of relationships. Therefore, emotions should be valued as a crucial tool for expressivity and a universal method of communication that transcends cultural boundaries.
