Topic 1 Passion (emotion)

Why? This is well related to ethics and morality. My major is philosophy. Just another spark of interest.

Topic 2 Angry black woman

Why? From movies to stereotypes that is a common one that I always hear. I too am a black African American women whom wants to get a better understanding on where these terms came from. So not only do I want to edit an article of this sort but I also want to gain knowledge from it while doing research.

Topic 3 Opinion

Why? Being that I am a philosophy major, the idea behind freewill and free speech always comes up in discussions and within different philosophers theories. The idea being opinion interests me and I want to learn more about it.

 Finalized Article 

Passion (emotion)

This article has been rated as a C- Class article and has not been edited since December 2017.

This particular article is missing a larger discussion of the general aspect of the ideas behind passion, specifically emotion. It was discussed in short portions of the article, however i feel as though it can definitely be expanded on. This article mentions emotions but speaks more on passion and desire. I hope to create a section for readers to understand the idea behind emotions and how that have changed over time. This article fails to discuss the most important term emotion, but constantly uses this term as a reference.

 Edits won't be edits but instead ADD-ONS 

Right after the introduction of Passion

WHAT ARE EMOTIONS?

How is passion created? Where does it stem from? The idea of feelings and emotions.

Emotion was created as a category within passion. Robert Solomon presents a view of emotion not being a bodily state but instead as a kind of judge.

Solomon also believes that we hold this short of responsibility over our emotions/feelings. " It is necessary that we choose our emotions, in much as the same way we choose our actions".

Taken right from out of the article

"Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of an interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person"

I chose this specific part to annotate because this is the first part where the term emotion is used. For many readers like myself,I would assume this article would have a introduction to emotions. Only because the article is called Passion(emotion)

- Question for professor?

Maybe I am misreading the purpose of this article. Are they just listing passion as an emotion then more-so trying to get on where the idea of emotion aroused from?

Feedback response
Kira : I have read your add ons and I have some notes. To begin I believe you are doing well at maintaining a neutral tone while writing your work and should continue with that in the future. I was particularly impressed with the point of view that you added by Soloman that spoke on emotions being equivalent to actions in the sense that we are able or should at least be willing to choose them. I believe it's important to have this point of view disclosed in this article based on emotions. I definitely will keep in mind the use of different perspectives to expand upon my work and better it as we proceed. I also looked and read into the provided citations and see these as reliable and informative to aid you in expanding upon the article, Passion (emotions).

One recommendation I do have to aid in the clarity of your piece even for you while you are adding pieces may be to add a couple of sections of the actual article into your sandbox so you can keep track of the flow of the article and ensure there are no redundancies. It can also help you by allowing you to expand further on sections that may be short of information such as the section within the article titled “In Marriage” or the section titled “Intellectual Passions”. I am sure as they are both very short sections that you may be able to add more information from your educational experiences combined with the sources you have provided to create more informative sections.

My response:

I will definitely expand on these sections “ In Marriage and Intellectual Passions” even though I wasn't going to focus on those subtitles. I wanted to focus more on the idea of emotion, which wasn't discussed. Being that i want to focus mainly on that; do you think it will weaken my article revision? My initial idea was to only introduce how discussing the concept of emotion plays a big role in this article.

I will for sure expand on my ideas behind Soloman and expand on my talk of emotion (I believe it's important to have this point of view disclosed in this article based on emotions) I want to have a more clear understanding of emotion presented in this article so readers like myself can grasp an proper understand on everything else discussed in this argument.
