Document Summary

Emotions are also connected with the cognitive side of humans. We believed that body and soul were different things. Body emotions and thoughts may seem separate but are actually intertwined. But now it is known that rationality and emotions are intertwined. Memory and perception are very similar processes, involving us constructing a representation of reality and forming the raw material we draw upon for all our thinking processes. This is a key theme throughout psychology, and has innumerable implications for psychology, and for important societal issues, like prejudice and discrimination. Middle of the night, 4 white males come shouting at him, amadou fumbles to open his door and reaches into his jacket and then the white males shoot at him. What if he was a white guy would that have changed anything? when he turned away, when he reached for his wallet, would they have hesitated a few more seconds, would have it been different.
