In the first lecture/module, I reflected on dog/bug psychology about non-human species sense of time-duration; the degree of memory; the intensity of the pain (or not) when such is shortly forgotten. Now turn to human emotion: love, rage/anger, resentment, longing, and etc. Construct an argument/main point around a particular emotion or emotions in general; how does that emotion wax-and-wane in time? Are emotions always, ultimately, really right now (Im mad and am seeing red; but then hours or day later, the anger was just an emotional spellhere and gone). Or are they longer-living (presumably, we like to think love is!)? Again, dont get impressionistic or personal (avoid I statements). What I am asking you to investigate is the psychological or philosophical aspects of our emotions in terms of time (overlaps with option two above). If you have pertinent information from a psychology class you’re taking or have taken, that’s fine to include (cite properly) but don’t go overboard: make your ideas/main point fit the overall “time” theme of this course. Please note: the topic for this sub-option will potentially lead to meandering and it will take you a bit to “step back” and see important macro-ideas/insights in your own writing. An example of a macro-idea or governing tension might be that the “problem” with human emotions is indeed time-in-form-of-memory (emotions are here/now and visceral, and yet they rarely are not based on memory, such as anger “now” but built-up from remembered resentment or affection “now” but affection built up from memories of shared bonding moments and so on). This macro-idea or tension might be only discovered as you draft your paper; and so as you revise you need to foreground it in the introduction and make sure important transitional ideas glue-together the stages of your paper/argument.
