Title:
Underlying Influences in Modern Society

Abstract:
In general, most human societies have many social influences that inspire people to behave in certain ways. These influences, which human beings tend to personalize, create a behavioral framework that guides individual behaviors. This framework is manifested from cultural norms, linguistic rhetoric, and propagandistic mediums that shape the way we interact with each other. Additionally, these aforementioned social aspects are responsible for the formation of social attitudes as well as the influence for personality characteristics. In our literature-based research, we found that culture, language, and propaganda are highly influential in our emotions, particularly with regard to how people express such emotions.
