05/25/21; Week 6: Response to "Differences in Emotional Expressivity"

    Emotions play an essential role in the life of human beings. Through them we express moods and feelings that show that we care about people, we also do it through details such as sending flowers, sending letters and even sending gifts that make our loved ones and other members of our circle feel good.

    As part of the culture in Latin America, you can see a lot of people walking in the streets and parks holding hands and many times giving a romantic kiss in some corner, or rather everywhere, it is not just the simple fact of look forward to Valentine's Day to celebrate love and friendship.

    For us Latinos expressing the emotions of joy allows us to create a good environment where we meet, it can be at home or at work, that definitely helps a lot here, but we also try to manage our emotions, because sometimes we can also express things that might offend others, that is, for instance, if I came to work by chance in life, I had an argument when I left the house with a neighbor and I ended up angry and I came to work and suddenly a colleague asked me for something from work and for being with those emotions without bad intention I respond in a rude way although unconsciously but that happens, and of that we must be very careful.

    Although in my culture it is normal to show feelings and emotions, we always try to manage them, because it depends on that to be able to have a good coexistence with people in all the spaces in which we find ourselves.
