Why We Like What We Like, by ALVA NOË.
ca: the author believed that we like doing things we like only BECAUSE we chose to. i agree BECAUSE of the CAPABILITY of the nose, presentation, and we are spoilt.The nose is a marvel, of the human body. In appearance it has insignificant image, but the things that it is capable of is amazing. The nose helps us define different smells, it helps us tell the difference between nice and bad smells. It also helps in taste. When we taste a particular food we know what it is because we have smelt it earlier and know what it is like, and the taste buds in our tongue help make more accurate theory’s on what the particular food is. If some one were to taste three different liquids, say water, vinegar, and apple juice while their nose was blocked, they will probably not be able to tell the difference. When it come to eating food our choice of enjoying food comes from our capability of nose.

When it come to eating food our choice of enjoying food comes from our capability of nose. When its comes to food, or people, we as humans always look forward for presentation. We are selective according to the presentation of the person of food. Suppose a chocolate cake was presented very sophisticatedly, with dressing and style, we would select that piece of cake. However, if the same chocolate cake was shaped in the image of poop, not many would dare to even eat the cake, let alone look at it, even though is was same cake as earlier. In humans, a fashion statement makes it clear, what type of person you are. Since a statement is a big deal, most people make sure they blend with change, rather than being the odd one. Our choice of being normal, looking like every one else is a choice, a choice that allows others to evaluate us, so that we may become naturally accepted into society , rather than expecting society to change for us .Changes is good, but not the best option always. Just because an authority says so, does not mean that person has the right to individually change something.
Choices define who we are, and what we do, Isaac Newton’s third law of motion,states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, this theory is a proven fact, and it works for every choice we make. Choice in taste and presentation also work together. We are spoilt by nature, we are given too many choices, and too many conclusiios. When a choice does not exist we are forced to chose what is given, just because the world has portrayed goods that can be substituted over another good, we chose those lower end products because we gain the same, or better amount of satisfaction from the product without paying a hefty amount.
The capability of choosing is great a power, and with great power come great responsibility, thats why we like doing things we like.
