Emotion and Body Movement

Abstract

Human needs shift from material to mental with time. And the final need is Self-Actualization. In other words, our needs shifts from product to process. We actualize ourselves to satisfy our emotions. Emotions are interpreted as our feelings toward outside stimuli. But as the fact that etymologies of emotion and motivation come from the same Latin “movere” indicates, emotion means that we are stimulated and motivated by the environment and situation, so that we “move out” into the Real World to establish our own world. It is said that only humans can think about the future. That created “Engineering” to make our dreams come true. As our needs started from material, we eventually looked for better products and for better technologies. And it brought the Industrial Revolution. But the Industrial Society is getting to its ceiling and we need to explore a new society which is emotion-focused. Another important point which we discuss here is the importance of body movement. Although DX is getting wide attention these days, Analog plays an important role in the Real World. Blood is analog and it carries signals and keeps our body organ running after brain death. And Blood and Body Movement plays a crucial role in arousing emotion. When our heart leaps up, our blood boils. And the idea of weight, length are based on our deep sensation of our body movement. This paper discusses how emotion and body movement are deeply associated.
