Expressions Of: Anger, Fear And Sadness In The Past

    In the Past negative emotions would have been expressed in a much different way to how they are expressed now, and would have been triggered by different things. In the older times gestures and physical movements would have been the normal way to express their feelings, rather than now days when language and conversation is used. The emotions were expressed in these ways to let other people know that they have triggered negative emotions in someone, but also to try and share the pain and frustration these emotions bring on with other people.
    Anger: In the past anger would have been expressed in much more physical means than it is today, and normally would have been provoked easier, with less understanding of how humans behave, and less communication skills to aid the prevention of it. Violence would be used to show that someone has done something wrong and brought on anger into someone, it also makes sure that the person is trying to channel their feelings into others, and make them feel equally as negative. In past times, words were rarely used, and as a result, the expression of anger was usually vague, hence hard to revert.
    Fear: It is very hard to pinpoint exactly how people express their emotion of fear, as it may be caused by a countless amount of things, that usually the person is uncomfortable with, a new experience, or something with very risky outcomes as examples. Expressing fear is usually done by rejection and denial to do or confront the thing that is provoking the fear inside someone. Now and in the past, the expression of fear is trying to do the opposite of what brings on the emotion, so that the emotion is erased altogether. The expression of this emotion is also a way to counter the emotion itself, and make it disappear.
   Sadness:  Sadness in the past would have also been expressed with denial and segregation from the people or thing that caused this emotion. It is usually caused by something you do not want to do, or may be caused by something that went wrong, whether it is in love and friendship or in school or work. In the past expressing sadness would have been very drastic in proportion to the size of the event that provoked the emotion. Tears are a physical aspect that is usually associated with sadness, and is an easy way to determine how someone is feeling. Sadness was in the past expressed like this, as it was a way to let feelings out, and show people how they felt, so that they would get sympathy, but also so that people may offer them a solution to what was causing this emotion.
    Negative emotions in the older times, were usually expressed with negative actions, due to negative occurrences which provoked these emotions.

Emotional Development Of The Irish Culture

     The Irish Culture is widely known around the world as a very friendly, sociable culture. From the very start of their culture when Ireland was inhabited by the Celts, expressions of emotions were very important, almost more important than they are today. Emotional Expressions would have been a very big part of how people communicated how they felt and what they wanted, as well as what they liked and disliked. In those times actions would speak a lot louder than words, and so how you expressed what you were feeling was majorly important, and very significant to how these expressions would have been comprehended by the people who were receiving them. Specific actions were used for specific emotions, and would always be closely related to this emotion whenever they were seen.
     The Earliest Irish settlers would greatly reply on their body language to aid them to express their emotions, as speech would have not been descriptive enough for what they are willing to express. |Body language such as a raised fist to show anger, or sometimes even a hug or embrace to show love and happiness would have been very commonly used, rather than speaking and expression words that way.
     As time has gone on from early Celtic settlers to modern day habitats emotional expressions of the Irish has greatly changed and is now more reliant of speech and the power that words will have to express how you fell rather than the excessive amount of body language that would have been used then. This is due to the evolution of language but also other factors such as learning respect and how to behave, which influences emotional expression greatly.
   The language used by the Irish to express these emotions is also very unique to many of the other cultures, as they develop sayings and words that can easily express what they are feeling. "Slan" is an Irish word meaning good health, which can be used to express happiness and kindness. They have many of these sayings, some of which can be viewed here, http://www.sampleireland.com/famous-irish-sayings.html.
