Please help me to write essay - how do different cultures and expressions of feelings correlate?
Answer:Take a moment and imagine you are traveling in a country you’ve never been to before. Everything—the sights, the smells, the sounds—seems strange. People are speaking a language you don’t understand and wearing clothes unlike yours. But they greet you with a smile and you sense that, despite the differences you observe, deep down inside these people have the same feelings as you. But is this true? Do people from opposite ends of the world really feel the same emotions? While most scholars agree that members of different cultures may vary in the foods they eat, the languages they speak, and the holidays they celebrate, there is disagreement about the extent to which culture shapes people’s emotions and feelings—including what people feel, what they express, and what they do during an emotional event. Understanding how culture shapes people’s emotional lives and what impact emotion has on psychological health and well-being in different cultures will not only advance the study of human behavior but will also benefit multicultural societies. Across a variety of settings—academic, business, medical—people worldwide are coming into more contact with people from foreign cultures. In order to communicate and function effectively in such situations, we must understand the ways cultural ideas and practices shape our emotions.
Historical Background
In the 1950s and 1960s, social scientists tended to fall into either one of two camps. The universalist camp claimed that, despite cultural differences in customs and traditions, at a fundamental level all humans feel similarly. These universalists believed that emotions evolved as a response to the environments of our primordial ancestors, so they are the same across all cultures. Indeed, people often describe their emotions as “automatic,” “natural,” “physiological,” and “instinctual,” supporting the view that emotions are hard-wired and universal.
A model of a Neanderthal
Universalists point to our prehistoric ancestors as the source of emotions that all humans share.
The social constructivist camp, however, claimed that despite a common evolutionary heritage, different groups of humans evolved to adapt to their distinctive environments. And because human environments vary so widely, people’s emotions are also culturally variable. For instance, Lutz (1988) argued that many Western views of emotion assume that emotions are “singular events situated within individuals.” However, people from Ifaluk (a small island near Micronesia) view emotions as “exchanges between individuals” (p. 212). Social constructivists contended that because cultural ideas and practices are all-encompassing, people are often unaware of how their feelings are shaped by their culture. Therefore emotions can feel automatic, natural, physiological, and instinctual, and yet still be primarily culturally shaped.

in your own experiences did you receive equal treatment in your community from the local government?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
The local government was created in a bid to reach the grassroots, those areas which seem so far from the city a d ensure they aren't left behind in governance. Those residing in local and remote areas could best be described as those targeted by the local government which I believe is a good initiative as these people also have rights to vote and they do exercise their franchise during the electioneering process. In terms of development, it is actually skewed with certain communities enjoying greater benefits owing to reasons such as partisanship, thought of some communities being in allegiance with an opposition and in some cases inadequate resources to cater for communities with enormous restructuring.

Jupiter and his mighty company end the golden agePart a which of the following best identifies the central theme of this text?A.peace never lasts B.only the strong survive C.power can corrupt D. People are selfish
Answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is c) Power can corrupt.
Explanation:
It is said that before in the Golden Age, everything was handled by the Titans who had the appearance of humans but were more abundant and stronger. As the king of the Titans was Saturn the father of Jupiter (also known as Zeus), at this time they say that people felt happy with what Saturn offered them, there was no disease, war, envy and no one wanted to rule another, for example, the fields were full of harvest and beautiful climates.
But Jupiter had planned to defeat the Titans and joined his brothers to destroy them; in this way, the golden age no longer existed, and everything that was previously known as the golden age no longer existed. People were influenced by power, causing wars and enemies; all were eager for power.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich reflect the author's belief that Russia's rising middle class
was unable to express genuine emotion?
After that Ivan Ilyich would sometimes call Gerasim and get him O hold his legs on his shoulders, and he liked talking to him. Gerasim did
it all easily, willingly, simply, and with a good nature that touched Ivan llyich. Health, strength, and vitality in other people were offensive to
him, but Gerasim's strength and vitality did not mortify but soothed him.
...The awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about to him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost
indecorous incident (as i someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which
he had served all his life long. He saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. Only Gerasim
recognized it and pitied him. And so Ivan Ilyich felt at ease only with him. He felt comforted when Gerasim supported his legs (sometimes
all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "Don't you worry, Ivan llyich. I'll get sleep enough later on,." or when he suddenly became
familiar and exclaimed: "If you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should grudge a little trouble?" Gerasim alone did
not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply
felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master.
He longed to be petted and comforted. he knew he was an important functionary, that he had a beard turning grey, and that therefore
what he longed for was impossible, but still he longed for it and in Gerasim's attitude towards him there was something akin to what he
wished for, and so that attitude comforted him. Ivan Ilyich wanted to weep, wanted to be petted and cried over, and then his colleague
Shebek would come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan llyich would assume a serious, severe, and profound air, and by force
of habit would express his opinion on a decision of the Court of Cassation and would stubbornly insist on that view.
Answer:
1. Ivan Ilyich wanted to weep, wanted to be petted and cried over, and then his colleague Shebek would come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan Ilyich would assume a serious, severe, and profound air.
2. "This falsity around him and within him did more than anything else to poison his last days
Explanation:
According to the given excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich, the author talks about the life and death of Ivan Ilyich and how the falsity around him helped hasten his death.
The two sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan llyich that reflects the author's belief that Russia's rising middle class was unable to express genuine emotion are the statement that Ivan Ilyich would want to express emotions of sadness and crying but when his comrade came over, he would pretend and assume to be serious and unbothered, and the statement about the falsity around Ivan Ilyich poisoned hisast days.
