Why are people crying, and are there benefits to crying in public?
by
It is not uncommon for adults to cry unintentionally when they feel emotional or when they feel intense sadness. Carly Osborne , a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian Research Council (ARC) , explains the question “Why do people cry?” Popping out of a 7-year-old child living in Australia.

Tears may come out to wash away foreign objects in the eyes, but in many cases the word “crying” is used mainly to shed tears through emotions such as sadness. Mr. Osborne said, “There is a connection between the part of the brain that remembers emotions and the part where tears come out, and we cry with great emotions.” “I am studying the history of emotions. I will explain about crying from a different point of view. '
Osborne pointed out that while young children cry well today, boys cry less often than girls when they are teenagers. This is not because there is a difference in the mechanism of tearing between men and women, but because modern boys are conscious that 'crying is embarrassing'.
In modern times it is often considered embarrassing to cry in front of people, but historically it is not so. Osborne argues that 'crying in England was considered very cool in England 500 years ago.' In a book published around the 15th century about King Arthur , the great hero, King Arthur was crying very well, and expressing rich emotions in public was thought to make people great.

Whether people cry a lot depends on the culture and people around them. For example, in a country where it is common to express emotions in public places, such as the United States, Osborne pointed out that many people would cry. On the other hand, people who live in a country that doesn't express their feelings in public like Japan don't cry too much, even if they feel sad.
The same applies to the family, and if the members of the family are rich in emotional expression, the child will often laugh or cry. On the other hand, Osborne argues that children are likely to keep their feelings inside if they are surrounded by a family that doesn't show much emotion.
“As you can see from these examples, crying isn't something you do on your own. In many cases, crying is a way to convey your feelings to others.” Looking at the person crying, Osborne said that the surrounding people can understand that `` the person remembers emotions such as strong sadness '' and can help improve their feelings through dialogue etc. It was.
