Week 10 Blog Post 1:

Adding human interest to a post can appeal to peoples emotions because it describes personal experiences that result in a feeling of emotion. These emotions consist of happy, sad, afraid, surprised, angry, or disgusted. All of these emotions can cause someone to remember a personal experience they had that would allow them to relate it to the current advertisement or situation that triggers that specific personal experience. For example n regards to being happy, most posts that go viral or receive the most attention are positive posts. Sad posts such as hungry children or animals can trigger that emotion. If someone feels angry or disgusted by a post then they are less likely to share it. 

It makes sense to add a personal touch to a post when its regarding something positive or beneficial to you and others. It doesn't make sense to add a personal touch to a post that makes someone feel negative in any way, usually angry or disgusted is the emotion you try to stay away from. If the post is regarding someone that did something disgusting or unjustified then it would be okay to add a personal touch. Otherwise adding a personal touch should only be in posts that are focused on talking to your followers rather than in informational posts.
