The Different Effects of Emotions on the Brain

There is a part of disgust that is universal. It seems to be present in people from all sorts of cultures across time. And then there is a substantial part of it that is completely determined by our upbringing. Freud gave a lot of good things to say but he argued that disgust was inculcated into the child through a toilet training. But if you think about it for just a minute, there's no way that theory could work. For one thing, we're disgusted by a lot of things like blood or rotten meat,. Yet people everywhere are disgusted.
