  14. 1-What does our brain have to do with emotions?
    well base on my point of view our brain is like the processor on a computer, its the one who make all the operations that our body makes. breath, send message to our organs and many others things our brain do it automatically without even we know is passing. so for that reason I think that our brain have something to to with our mind.
    2-What does it mean to ā€œput yourself in another personā€™s shoesā€?
    For me its mean that is better if we see other people problems before judge them, because we don’t know what they just passed trough or what are they passing trough .
    3-Do you believe it is important to ā€œtun intoā€ other peopleā€™s feelings? What are the upsides of this? What are the downsides?
    I think that every people have they own world on their minds, however sometimes can be good and sometimes no. we can give then advice to someone and they can use it wisely, or not is their decision all depends on the person. for my the main problem is that people don’t like to be wrong so maybe that is a reason why sometimes they don’t listen anyone.

    One of the important part of our brain that deal with emotion, like fear and love are carried out by the limbic system. However, while limbic system made up of multiple parts in the brain, the center of emotional processing is the amygdala. In addition,the limbic system is responsible for processing and controlling our emotions in the human brain.
    2) What does it mean to ā€œput yourself in another personā€™s shoesā€?
    From my perspective ā€œPut yourself in another personā€™s shoesā€ mean that a person are dominated by someone else or try to understand other people feeling and point view in some circumstances . For example, at work some time people are controlling by their boss . So whatever the boss giving instruction people have to follow that therefore it shows that to put shoes by their motivation and inspiration into someone else’s idea to bring a good outcome in job.
    3) Do you believe it is important to ā€œtun intoā€ other peopleā€™s feelings? What are the upsides of this? What are the downsides?
    I believe it is important to tune into other peopleā€™s feelings because we are human being so if we care and get involve with other people bad situation. Like this way, the upside of this result will be that in another moment you will get around some people help. In addition, downsides of that if a person are not go along in life maybe the consequence will be that not gonna anyone else souring you to support.
