According¹ to psychologists²,an emotion is aroused³ when a man or animal view something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy or love is aroused, when we think something can help us. 

And emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions, but many psychologists believe that infants⁴ are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotion, but learn to how to act in certain situations because of any emotion.
