 Traditional view - battle between reason and emotionbattle between reason and emotion  What does the clip above tell us about the relative importance of reason and emotion?  What does it also tell us about when the film was made!?

 Even faced with such compelling evidence many people still smoke.  Why?

 If we know something is bad (eg, smoking), we can manufacture bad reasons to justify this behaviour – the discomfort or negative emotions we feel due to the conflict between our actions and beliefs lead us to rationalise our actions.  ‘ I am familiar with the evidence that smoking is bad for me, but I smoke. I know loads of people who smoke and they are fine. Nothing bad will happen to me. I don’t even believe the evidence anyway.’

 Imagine: Your friend holds an emotional prejudice against immigrants.  His tendency to rationalise can lead to a self- confirming belief system about immigrants - Biased perceptions – he notices only lazy immigrants - fallacious reasoning – he makes hasty generalisations - emotive language – he concludes that immigrants are ‘bone idle’ and ‘useless’ These factors reinforce the original prejudice and make it difficult to be objective

 Think back to your last argument with someone. Can you remember saying something in the ‘heat of the moment?’  Turbulent emotions can distort our ability to think clearly and behave intelligently.  Stoics advocated a state of mind called apathy – without passion – in which the mind could mirror reality in a calm and untroubled way.  Can you imagine a life without human emotions?

 Could it be argued that our emotions make us human?our emotions make us human?  Brain damage patients with damage to their emotional centers find it very difficult to make decisions. Can you think why?  Antonio Damasio has explored this idea..... Antonio Damasio has explored this idea.....  Is it a question of finding a balance between reason and emotion? Keeping our emotions under control?
