DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

   Our brain has developed in thousands of years becoming bigger and bigger by creating new parts. One of them is the pre-frontal cortex that help us to adapt to our personal existence, in a psychologic way. This make us happier. That´s because we think happiness is something we have to find, so we synthesizes it. So we build a synthetic happiness. This provide us two types of happiness, the natural one and the synthetical one. 

   The natural one -> We achieve it by having what we want. 

   The synthetical one -> We get it when we don´t have what we want, but instead                                         of being sad, our brain makes us happy. 
   

One example of getting the synthetical happiness is one Spanish blind swimmer, called Enhamed Enhamed. He was born in Gran Canarias, without having any visual problem. But when he was a teenager he, unfortunately, became blind, but he says that becoming blind was good for his life and he thinks that his life would not be so good if he did not have this visual problem.

PLEASURE? WHAT´S THAT?

Pleasure describes the broad class of mental states that human and other animals experience as positive, enjoyable, or worth seeking.

Paul Bloom said that pleasure is not just a natural thing for human beings, it is also mental; because it is true that you enjoy something because you like it, but you like these things because everybody think that it is awesome. For example, he said that if someone full a glass of low quality wine that was in a high quality wine bottle,they are not going to realise that it was the worst one because they have seen that it was in a good wine bottle. Supporting his claim, there are also culturals ingredients in pleasure, because of our believes. For example you don´t get so much pleasure of easter if you do not belong to our culture.

THE OTHER FACE OF MATRIX


    Trinity and Morpheus were searching for The One, that they thought it was Neo. And they told him that anything is real, all was controlled by computers. Morpheus explained him that this world is a prision that we cannot touch. So they offered him to discover the real life and he accepted it. When he entered Matrix, the real world, he had to avoid the agents because they wanted to kill him. Morpheus believed in Neo and he sacrified himself to safe him, this produced Morpheus´ kidnapped. But Neo did the same and finally he saved  Morpheus. 

    As in the cavern´s myth there is a person that shows the others the real world, while the others live in the wrong one.

    We think that Matrix is a very philosophical film only if you see it with this eyes, whereas if a person goes to the cinema to see it, they are not going to understand it very well.

FREE WILL IN PEOPLE
There are two different types od people, those ones who believe in free will, and people who don't believe in it. People who believe in it, think that if you do something wrong, you are responsible of your action. In this article we can distinguish 2 examples:
-1st example-> Sally is driving while she is with her mobile phone and she run over a child, so she goes to prision.
-2nd example-> Jane is driving as she has to dive, in the correct way, and suddenly she run over a child, but she doesn't go to prision.

PERSONAL OPINION:
I agree with the soluntions in both cases, because in the 1st example you can prevent the action, but in the 2nd one you can't. So I believe in free will, but there are some cases in which you can't do anything.

CONSULT THE EXPERTS TO BE SURE

CONSULT THE EXPERTS TO BE SURE

NORMALLY WHEN WE ARE ARGUING WITH SOMEBODY, WE USE THE IDEAS THAT
EXPERTS HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE IN ORDER TO FORM  OUR
ARGUEMENT. SOMETIMES EVEN THE EXPERTS HAVE TO RESORT TO OTHERS,
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THEIR CLAIM. AN ERROR OF A NON EXPERT
PERSON IS TO LOOK FIRSTLY FOR ABOUT THEIR BELIEFS OR JUST WHAT THEY
WANT, AND THAT IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE.


 MY OPINION
I THINK THAT A NON EXPERT PERSON ABOUT A MATTER, BEFORE ARGUE WITH OTHER PEOPLE HE/SHE MUST LOOK FOR THINGS THAT EXPERTS HAVE SAID, BECAUSE IF HE/SHE DON`T DO THAT HE/SHE CAN´T DEFENT HIS/HER ARGUEMENT.
