For my research essay I will be speaking about how as humans we naturally don’t show vulnerability to others because we are afraid it will make us look weak, but when we see other people being vulnerable we consider them as strong for opening up. Emotions are necessary for a human being to show but some emotions are perceived differently. In my research essay I am eager to find articles and studies conducted that support my claim about how the human mind perceives emotions differently. I am personally amazed by how crying has always automatically represented vulnerability and sadness for us humans. I will use supporting arguments such as the mind playing tricks on you, reactions of specific emotions, the different types of emotions but mainly the different types of tears. I am expecting to find claims and articles that also don’t support my hypothesis in which explains how there is no variety of emotions. I will also write about the difference in gender and ages and how different groups perceive emotions and vulnerability.
