Happiness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yv_OZmMn2E
This video makes me feel very happy because its my favorite team (FC Barcelona) celebrating the league title in its stadium. Watching the players dancing, singing, the fireworks, and the cup in their hands make me feel extremely hap[y.
Sadness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41izUzo25u4
This video makes me feel very sad because one of my favorite animals, the tiger, is being mistreated. In general, there is a group of tigers that are chained and not treated as they are supposed to be. The tiger being focused on is being forced to move and grabbed with very rough ways. This makes me feel very bad, abusing animals, in this case the tigers.
Fear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW-TkpvKPl0
This video makes me feel really nervous and scary. Since I have lived an earthquake and now how scary and terrifying it could be, and the video shown transmit to me a felling of fear because of all the people running and shouting and watching all the things moving. It is really scary for me.

In this abstract image a human is expelling through his mouth a series of visual figures. The interpretation that I have in relation with language and reason with history is that every person has a different perspective of the world and with the language you can transmit feelings and thoughts to society, and later on that society may interpretate it the way they perceive it. There is when history and the reason of society comes into play by acknowledging the ideas of someone through communication, in this case language. In the image, that person is giving ideas and thoughts in the different kind of geometric shapes that may be the language of that person, and then this type of language is transmitted to someone who would have to think and reason what this person is trying to say, and at the end they would have created a short story of what they thought, creating the basic form of history.

The best example of the role of language and reason in history is the interpretation of the mayan language by humans. The mayan civilization had a cultural language that only they could understand. When they no longer existed, the modern humans discovered all this mayan hieroglyphic language and through reason they made a big discovery of the history of mayan civilization. So the mayan language was interpretated and analyzed by humans in order to have knwoledge of the mayan's history.

Historical Reasoning
The genocide is another historical event that was marked by an insignificant reason. Two extrimist armed groups were killing innocent people just by the fact that they were not part from his group. Both killed each other meaningless, just because they were opposing groups. At the end this caused international intervention cause this really wasn't necessary. The picture reveals an african group guarding hundreds of african skulls from the people killed.
These are some of the millions of jews that were ostracized and persecuted during the reign of Hitler. They were put into concentration camps where they starved to death of were burned aive. Hitler thought that the jews were an inferior race and also that they should all be exectued so that the world become a better place. This caused many countries to declare war against the nazis. This was an insignificant reason by the nazis to kill all jews they could find, just by thinking they were superior.

Another important historical reasoning that caused a big impact was in El Salvador. During the civil war from 1981 to 1992, armed groups from the FMLN (political party) started coming against the government. In the picture, two armed men shooting against soldiers from the government. The so called "guerrilla", thought that by having armed power and putting themselves in government was going to be the only and unique way of having equal rights and democracy, but this was just an act of desesperation and caused the entire country to stop its develpment for all those years. At the end, the past year the FMLN came into power in a solid and fari democratic presidential elections.
