5key words:

Feeling, Emotion, Affect, Effect, Experience

This article details the three connections and differences of Feeling, Emotion, and Affect, all of which are independent individuals that can’t mix but interact with each other and have some kind of wonderful connection.

The author’s key context describes how powerful influence can convey and influence society and people, such as sometimes broadcast expressing our inner state but it may sometimes be carefully designed to meet social expectations. So they can be real but they can be pretend.

The author of this article uses a number of reference and social examples to confirm his inference, and I think he is relatively objective in telling his understanding of Feeling, Emotion and Affect, I also quite agree with him. He used separate infants, unable to move people’s legs and injuries to give examples, I find this very interesting, such as the insensitive legs mentioned in the text in the slow lying, driven by the person listening to music, which shows that some psychological treatment / impression can be, when physical medicine can not be done. The human psychological and physiological inseparable, There are some phenomena where emotion affect can drive different feelings and miracles, and I think that’s a wonderful thing, the influence becoming important in determining the relationship between our bodies and environment, also what we think and think about, and influence in experiences, In particular, the use of vision and the environment these non-direct factors, an abstract way of communication making it possible to become such a powerful social force.

This article deeply describes and explains Feeling, Emotion and Affect, which give me a better understanding of the projects I’m researching/working on. I think in addition to thinking for myself, I need to understand more people, through their narrative and cognition to fill the ‘blank part’ in my knowledge. So I also have some further expressions and understandings of Feeling, Emotion, Affect. And in short, emotion will communicate and affect feelings of other individuals or groups of people. But the spread of influence does not mean that we all get the same intensity or quality of emotion or effect, but it is our interaction that influences the spread structure to become a powerful social force and relations. And in this article, the uniqueness of feeling, such as an infant who has no ‘feeling’ because they have no experience and biographies, is not completely without feeling but their performance is actually a factor greater for others. I think this concept is very important to my researching, the same thing affect for everyone’s strength and quality is different because it depends on people’s experience, past, memory, language, culture and biography.
