We all exhibit emotions - and there are a limited number of core emotions to exhibit. So are humans all the same when it comes to our emotional expression or are there specific differences. Well, anyone can tell you that there is typically a difference in how we express emotions as we age: babies cry whenever they encounter any difficulty, from hunger to poopy pants to being startled by a loud noise. Teenagers experience obvious emotional swings from moment to moment - boys will often fight physically with one another as they are unable to control their anger. Adults appear to become more reserved as they age - able to hold back from expressing emotions even when they are feeling something very strongly.
Culture and gender, likelwise, play a role in the emotions we express and the magnitude with which we express them.
Your assignment for today (and this weekend) is to research and find examples (hopefully supported by studies) that show us the emotional differences which may occur between males and females as well as people from different ethinic backgrounds or cultures.
In this post, identify and explain two examples of gender differences and two examples of cultural differences - as always, include pictures with your post (one picture representing each example.)
