Emotion is a “moving of the mind or soul; excitement of the feelings, whether pleasing or painful; disturbance or agitation of mind caused by a specific exciting cause and manifested by some sensible effect on the body” (Enciclopedia Britannica). This term is commoly and loosely used to denote individual, subgective feelings which dicatate moods. In In psychology, emotion is considered a “response to stimuli that involves characteristic physiological changes—such as increase in pulse rate, rise in body temperature, greater or less activity of certain glands, change in rate of breathing—and tends in itself to motivate the individual toward further activity” (Enciclopedia de Psicologia Universal; Pablo Mendriguez). Early psychological studies of emotion tried to determine whether a certain emotion arose before the action, simultaneously with it, or as a response to automatic physiological processes Since emotions are abstract and subjective, however, they remain difficult to quantify: some theories point out that non-Western cultural groups experience emotions quite distinct from those generally seen as “basic” in the West.

Thus, we speak of man as essentially a rational animal, it being implied that man differs from all other animals in that he can consciously draw inferences from premises. It is, however, exceedingly difficult in this respect to draw an absolute distinction between men and animals, observation of which undoubtedly suggests that the latter have a certain power of making inferences the term reason is also used in several narrower senses.
“All the ways of knowing are controlled by language”. In this statement, we are delimiting the boundries of both language and knowing. We are, moreover, saying that the act of aquiring experience is controlled and manipulated in the language in which you are expressing your self. This might be true in a community were the exploit of one, or more than an individual idiom is used; when expressing in that specific dialogue it might alterate your actual basic knowledge and thoughts. Anyhow, tha verbal expression has always been some kind of an obstacle to the sharing of knowledge. Some things can’t just be said with verbal actions or frases. What is more, the comprehention of such utilities may vary from person to person, and varie from the cultural and social backgroung of the two or more people that comunicate.
