Emotion, generally speaking, is any relatively brief conscious experience characterized by intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure.

Scientific discourse has drifted to other meanings and there is no consensus on a definition.

Emotion is often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.

In some theories, cognition is an important aspect of emotion.

Those acting primarily on the emotions they are feeling may seem as if they are not thinking, but mental processes are still essential, particularly in the interpretation of events.

For example, the realization of our believing that we are in a dangerous situation and the subsequent arousal of our body's nervous system (rapid heartbeat and breathing, sweating, muscle tension) is integral to the experience of our feeling afraid.

Other theories, however, claim that emotion is separate from and can precede cognition.

The term lifestyle can denote the interests, opinions, behaviours, and behavioural orientations of an individual, group, or culture.

In business, power is often expressed as being "upward" or "downward".

With downward power, a company's superior influences subordinates.

When a company exerts upward power, it is the subordinates who influence the decisions of their leader or leaders.
