Abstract
In this paper the judgement-approach method of measurement for facial expressions of emotion (one of the most widely-used types) is analyzed, with comments on its validity (the correlation between two independently-measured tests) and reliability (concerned with the consistency of the test scores obtained). Ekman and Friesen, two pioneers in this field whose work is greatly respected, are used as a basis for this analysis, with examination of some of their studies and a look at cross-cultural differences in the facial expression of emotion. The question is posed of whether there is a difference between the experience and expression of emotion in the face and how frequently 'display rules' (which interfere with the expression of emotion in the face) cause confusion in the judgement of what emotion a person is actually experiencing.
From the Paper
"The experience of emotion is integral to who we are as humans. Darwin (1872 in Ekman, 1973) defined emotion as essential to the welfare of group-living species. Without emotion, we would be unable to be attracted to one another, reproduce, or interact socially, amongst other things. Emotions also have distinct motivational properties (Izard, 1971). As humans, one of the primary ways in which we express emotion is through facial expressions (Ekman, 1975), acting as an indicator to others on whether a person is happy, sad, angry or any number of other things. Hence, it is an important nonverbal tool of communication between individuals. As there is no known physiologic test to measure the state of emotion in a given person, facial expressions are a useful way of determining this. The concepts of facial expression and the measurement of emotion were first seriously explored by Charles Darwin. Since Darwin, many people have investigated the measurement of emotion, via many different methods. Some have been met with more success than others. In this essay I will focus on a specific type of emotion measurement ? that of investigators studying the recognition of facial expressions of emotion via the judgement approach."

Abstract
This paper is a research report on an experiment in whether facial expression influences emotions, following the view of many that research supports the idea of the facial feedback hypothesis that holds that making a facial expression can alter the individual's subjective feelings in the direction of that feeling represented by the facial expression. It examines how some believe that making such a facial expression can actually cause the related emotion, while others hold that it can only intensify that emotion that is already felt.
From the Paper
"Research has long been conducted on the connection between expressive behavior and the emotion experienced, much of it based on facial expressions and what they really mean. This research considers some of what has been developed in the literature regarding this topic and then tests the connection between facial expressions and emotions experienced, serving as a test of the facial feedback hypothesis that holds that making a facial expression can alter the individual's subjective feelings in the direction of that feeling represented by the facial expression. In simpler terms, if you smile, you begin to feel happier. Some believe that making such a facial expression can actually cause the related emotion, while others hold that it can only intensify that emotion that is already felt."

Abstract
In Malcolm Gladwell's article "The Naked Face" (New Yorker: August 5, 2002), the author discusses the results taken from years of study of facial expressions and how facial expressions help reveal the true purpose of an individual. Gladwell suggests that these findings indicate that all human beings share similar facial expressions and that if these expressions can be understood, then this understanding has potential benefits for all aspects of society, from psychology to law enforcement. This paper investigates two subjects and their facial expressions as they recount stories with emotional content in order to address the veracity of Gladwell's article.

Abstract
The author of this paper defines humanities as a group of academic disciplines that study the expression of human beings while making sense of the human experience. This paper explores how the different fields of humanities provide a way for individuals to study the expressions of humankind. From art to literature, academics have studied works in these areas to gain a better understanding and appreciation for the diversity of values and cultures represented.
From the Paper
"In the humanities field of art, current developments in politics, socioeconomics, and technology are represented. Throughout history, art has been an expression of the humankind experience and the values of society at that time. For example, Diego Rivera was a Mexican muralist painter during the 20th Century. When commissioned by the Rockefellers to paint a mural at the Rockefeller Center in New York in 1933 during the Great Depression, Rivera presented a mural of Lenin leading a demonstration of workers amidst a sea of red banners. The murals clear political statement resulted in the mural being destroyed by the Rockefellers. Earlier, Rivera had painted a mural for Henry Ford in Detroit that depicted factory workers in a plant."

Abstract
This paper explains that the nursing professional has accepted the position of emotional labor but at a high cost to these employees through the emotional and physical strain of containing a person's true conflicting emotional status. The author points out that employees should think that customers are not always right enabling them to process and control their emotions instead of just hiding them. The paper relates that this problem also exists among women lawyers and accounts for their greater degree of burn-out than experienced by men lawyers.
From the Paper
"In certain cases, the emotional labor is called empathy and this is shown by many health-care professionals. They have to engage in emotional labor through deep acting or surface acting for their patients, and these actions are bereft of emotional or cognitive reactions. There is a feeling that physicians are better healers and have more satisfaction when they show empathy to their clients. The physicians should be the first to accept that their work has an element of emotional labor. This requires that they give themselves a practice so that they can empathize with their patients. This sort of a long term and regular training helps the medical students and residents. It also helps in the development of their ability to empathize."

Emotions and Schizophrenia, 2007.
An article critique of "Emotions And Schizophrenia: Old Mystery, New Understanding" by Ann King.

Abstract
The paper discusses how a research investigator is obligated to present an issue and or problem that has not been sufficiently resolved in previous research investigative endeavors. The paper examines how King reports that the main emphasis of her research investigation is to report, by way of a longitudinal investigation, the nature of diminished facial expression among schizophrenic patients, in a number of pre-selected studies. The writer concludes that the article authored by King, although topic sensitive and important, did little to advance or foster future research investigative activities, nor did the content enlighten the reader to any great extent.
From the Paper
"In addition, by stating that the current research was longitudinal the author erred on the side of misrepresentation on two additional accounts: reviewing five studies that did not indicate studies over time; and claiming that the present research was longitudinal when, in fact, the study was simply a review of previous research in the area of facial expressions and schizophrenia. In addition, the author made continual reference to "We have used measures...our laboratory based studies...using a variety of emotional stimuli, we have shown...etc." and, as such, leads the reader to expect her own original research supporting the main article thesis would be presented and documented. Unfortunately this was not the case."

From the Paper
"Nonverbal communication consists of nonverbal behaviors that "acquire meaning as part of a communication process". These behaviors, which are characterized as channels of communication, include nonverbal vocalizations (paralanguage), facial expression, body movements (including gesture, posture and others), proximity and placement, and miscellaneous aspects of behavior such as clothing, decoration of the body and interactive rituals such as greeting by shaking hands. Nonverbal communication involves two basic processes: the processing of information and the management of impressions. The first process is interpretive in nature as messages are decoded in order to draw inferences from nonverbal behaviors about another person's intentions. The management of impressions is concerned with impact as it is the process of encoding messages ... "

Abstract
The paper argues that schools, by their very nature, must encourage free inquiry and free expression of ideas. Oral expression is needed as a learning mechanism, as well as a psychological outlet. The paper argues that schools, both public and private, should provide opportunities for students and teachers to express themselves orally, with the understanding that measures of protection are in place which will allow for this expression.
From the Paper
"In many communities around the country, however, school administrators and librarians are under heavy pressure from religious and other groups to censor what students read and study. Teachers are becoming self-censoring in the selection process, making every effort to make "safe" book choices. These practices aren't eliminating the problem, they're only amplifying it . Educators cannot, for the sake of the students, allow themselves to be pressured into diluting their curriculum into superficial facts."

Abstract
This paper discusses the novel by James Baldwin Go Tell it on the Mountain. This novel was an important work because it expressed the voice of those who could not express themselves within the American Black community in the 1950s. The novel contributed to the social consciousness of the nation, as it raised certain sensitive issues regarding the Black experience in white America. In many respects, this is why the novel can be seen as an important piece of work, in the sense that it contributed to the education of the society, expressed the feelings of those who could not express their own feelings, and raised the consciousness of those who felt alienated and marginalized.
