Understanding the Value of “Bad” Emotions SOC-06 (in-person) Session II: Oct. 26, Nov. 2, 9, 16 Mondays 2:00 - 3:15 pm We label some emotions as “bad.” Anger, jealousy, envy, contempt, and hatred are among them. Why are these negative, upsetting, and uncomfortable? What purpose do they serve, such that they continue to exist despite either evolution or religion? What unexpected (and bad) results happen when we try to avoid or suppress them? The answers to these questions are surprising. Hint: reflection on the self is incredibly important to growth. Come find out why it's good to have these, and learn what to do when you or others have them.
