Why do we feel emotions when we are watching preformers pretend to feel things in texts?
It can make us relate simply through images and thus we can feel with the actor.
Do you think any facial expressions are universal.? If so, which ones? Justify your position.
I do believe some facial expressions are universal such as happiness or sadness. I believe it's natural to smile when happy. Babies can't be taught right off the bat if they're happy, but they smile naturally, or their face twists in a frown as they cry. People have not been taught to blush if they're embarressed, it's simply natural. And thus, I believe certain expressions are natural and universal, though not all, such as silly faces. Those are shown and taught.
Are facial expressions gender specific? If so, which ones? Explain your answer.
I do not believe facial expressions are gender specific. Body language can be gender specific, however, facial expressions are not.
If we can automate reading facial expressions, do you think that will be good or bad?
Contrary, I think we already have. We have computers and books that map out each facial look, idea or expression and we can recreate as we see fit. Some rare people can be trained to read the expressions and i think it can be good, so long as it's used appropriate, such as finding liars for criminal purposes.
Bonus Question: Which is more important, verbal or nonverbal?
I believe non-verbal communication is more important. It's one thing to say something, anyone can say something but they don't have to mean it. The actions put into it, or the expression on someone's face can tell someone if the word is true.
