KI for Essay!

General: 2- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of reason as a way of knowing.

KI- To what extent is reason limited by our personal emotions?

MP-
1. Our capacity to reason about our choices is sometimes limited by our personal emotions.
     EX: So your boyfriend left you hanging to go out with his friends (yes, your a girl). You had been planning this date for days because it was your sixth month together. He didn't forget, he took you to lunch and gave huggs and kisses all over. But that's not enough for you, you want him all for yourself. Your now hurt and sad and depressed and PISSED. You call him up in the middle of the night, say you regret everything and you hate him, his an ass, and break up with him on the phone (lame). Three days later you're in much more pain than before because you miss him and want him back. Now, he is hurt and doesn't want you back because you're kinda crazy. At this point you were driven by you emotions and made a choice without thinking it through.
2. Our emotions can limit reason when dealing with others reasons AND emotions.
    EX: Imagine there is one person that you have never really liked, yet you can't avoid contact with that person and you normally have to work with him/her because karma thought it would be fun to make you suffer. So this one day, you have has a sucky morning (for any reason whatsoever) but you still have to unite forces with this other person and work on something together. You go look for Annoying (other person's name) so that you can get started and get it all over with, but Annoying is not feeling well either and tells you to wait. But you snap. You've been driven by your emotions and you perception Annoyng betrayed you.

so language huh?

We let ourselves to believe that we know what language really is, but in reallity all we know about it is the dictionary deffinition we have made up for it on our own. we created language to express things our hands didnt let us show anymore, we invented language. We developed it and divided it into various types. And now we are so confident of it, so proud of our very wn creation that we consider it motive for discussion. We've spent the past 2 weeks talking and debating about what the heck is it we believe language really means. I feel it is a way of expression, anything you believe to be expressive is your way of language. The type we use the most is vocabulary and words, talking, saying things. Because even though scientists tell us we think through mathematical procedures, in reality when we hear "OMG I wish i could just kick your face!" when we are pissed at someone, or "I could reaaaaally eat a burger right now" when we are hungry, we hear with words and our personal voices inside our head. We dont hear 1 1 1 00 1 0 1 000 or, anything like it, at least I dont!

Language plays a HUGE part in my life, Im a poetry fan and that allows me to express the same feeling with 20 different words and combine those with ideas, images and thoughts all through combining words. I think, I feel, I say with words, and I talk so much I have no idea what I would do if they werent here!
