There are many interpretations as to the origins of emotion. Scholars such as James (1884) and Lange (1887) independently formulated the notion that emotions are a result of a purely physical reaction to external stimuli. An opposite sequence of emotional reactions is offered by Cannon (1931) and Bard (1928). In their theory they claim that physical reactions such as sweating, increased heart rate, crying, etc. are a result of feelings such as fear or sadness, and not as proposed by James and Lange, a consequence of it. Cambridge neuroscience professor Tim Dalgleish based his article “The Emotional Brain” (2004) on these and many other works. Beginning with Darwin’s theory of…

Among the films that differ significantly from the traditional films and released a few years ago, namely in 2001, is “Y Tu Mama Tambien” directed by Alfonso Cuaron. This film, under certain circumstances, could be conventional for American or Western European audience but…

I would like to start by saying that in the modern world medicine had made tremendous advances that allow us to save people from the most serious illnesses, let alone keep them alive as much as possible. Life-support systems allow doctors to keep terminally ill patients alive for an extended period of time, and this is exactly when one starts to think about the rationality of the medical ability to keep all patients alive. In the following essay I will argue that we should not keep all the patients alive and let terminally ill patients die. In other words, I will argue pro euthanasia in certain cases discussed further in…
