Class 12 English Unit 7: Humor Critical Thinking Language Development Section

 Critical Thinking

a.      Do you agree that ‘the couples, who laugh together, stay together?’ Is it important for married couples to have the same sense of humor? Why?

Yes, I agree with the statement that “the couples, who laugh together, stay together.” A sense of humor is an attractive trait. There is abundant cross-cultural evidence that shows that being funny makes you more desirable as a mate. Simply having a funny bond doesn’t mean you two are the perfect match –being able to laugh at the same things makes your partnership even stronger. A good sense of humor makes a person more attractive. Laughter is called the best medicine not without a reason, and this holds for couples who might be going through stressful times. Studies have proved time and again how laughter helps release feel-good hormones that help to relieve stress. So, it’s important for married couples to share good laughter and have the same sense of humor whenever they find themselves bogged down by trouble.

b.     Some people believe that sometimes crying is good for health. Do you believe it? Give your reasons.

Crying is a natural response humans have to a range of emotions, including sadness, grief, joy, and frustration. Yes, I believe that crying is good for health. The medical benefits of crying have been known as far back as the Classical era. Thinkers and physicians of ancient Greece and Rome posited that tears work like a purgative, draining off and purifying us. Today’s psychological thought largely concurs, emphasizing the role of crying as a mechanism that allows us to release stress and emotional pain. When we cry, we let out tons of emotions that allow our body and mind to reboot after we release all those emotions. Crying is particularly important during periods of grieving. It may even help to process and accept the loss of a loved one. People often report feeling better after they cry. That could be because crying forces us to pay attention to what triggered us and work through our emotions and thoughts. Crying might also help in understanding what’s important to us, especially if we cry over something that upset us unexpectedly. By this, we can say that crying is an essential form of relief and hence it is good for health too.
