How do emotions shape our worldview?

Public Radio Tulsa – This week on "The Really Big Questions with NPR's Lynn Neary" we ask How do emotions shape our worldview?

Look across the room at any gathering of people, and a wide range of emotions can be contemplated: the baby who cries unhappily at the bottle dropped on the floor; the young couple sitting close together, fingers intertwined; a group of men laughing at some shared joke. Emotions play a role in every minute of our lives, yet what exactly is an emotion? Do we all share the same emotions? How does something as personal as a feeling affect society and politics?

Listen this Friday at 8:00 to the Documentary of the Week.
