00:01 In this video we want to talk a little bit about how emotions from a psychological perspective are useful and help us adapt to daily life.

00:12 So we are asked to pick five emotions, let's see, so of that list i'll talk about pain, anger, fear, laughter, and hunger.

00:43 So all of these emotions are reactions to the world around us or to our thoughts or some kind of you know something sets off a reaction and it's expressed as an emotion and collectively they're useful because they give us some kind of information whether good or bad about a situation that we're in and that in turn gives us clues about how to handle and react to it.
