3. Are my arguments mostly based on evidence, logic or emotion?
Actually, I have plenty of informations for  my argument but I have few examples. That's why I can say that my arguments are mostly based on my logic and emotion.

My Confirmation

 The basic thing for this topic is how we define the emotion. As we can find around us, People define emotion in subtly different ways. The opinions over emotion are kind of various because we mention different definitions of it. However, more people think of emotion as fundamental in our body with more specific and convincing explanations. Most people confuse emotion with feeling. Some say that a feeling is the response part of the emotion. (MK projects by Mary Kurus). Dr. Maurice Elias defines that “Emotions are human beings, warning systems as to what is really going on around them." The definition of emotion for this argument accepts the various fields in our bodies.

 An article from MK projects directly shows an example why humans are not controlling their emotions:

 Think of the people who go along day after day seeming to function normally,  and all of a sudden they will explode in anger at something that seems relatively trivial and harmless.  That is one sign of someone who is trying to control or repress their emotions but their repressed emotions are leaking out.

 The more anyone tries to control their emotions the more they resist control, and the more frightened people eventually become at what is seen to be a “loss of emotional control”.  It is a vicious circle.

 Human emotions affect mostly the whole part of ourselves. They do not only give influence to our physical and mental condition. They attract reaction to our response and processing systems that are internal, and affect social relationships, and daily lives that are external. To analogize, human being is a robotic creatures for the emotions. Emotions trigger naturally and they don't accept our awareness before they make a process.

 David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University suggests the process of triggering emotions and its response system. Perception turns to physical and psychological schemas. Apparisal happens immediately and unconsciously and matches to decide an emotional response. If it doesn't match, the people continue to scan the environment. This process happens by cooperating each other and continues automatically. After the process, people show some basic kinds of response systems such as physiological reactions, cognitions, feelings, and expressions. For example, some people pee when they are nervous or afraid. This happens so naturally and instantaneously that we could not recognize. The "unconcious" reactions happen that we could not intentionally decide the expressions and feelings we want. Also, David mentioned that people have basic emotions that contains many other varied emotions. They are anger, contempt, disgust, fear, enjoyment, sadness, and surprise. Everyone simply shows these emotions daily. Even though we try to repress our emotions, we are not able to stray from the range of our basic emotions.
