Joking and joking- Why does the brain react differently on both? – Kunal Kamra Controversial Remark on Eknath Shinde Maharashtra How Brain Reacts on Mocking NTCPMJ

The troubles of comedian Kunal Kamara surrounded by controversies against Parodi Song against Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde are increasing. Summons have been sent to the comedian for questioning on the case. Even before this, many comedians continued to surround the freedom of alleged expressions. But if people laugh at joking, then what is there in joking or in satire, which makes people angry to this extent.

There were many studies to feel bad about making fun of psychology. She says that Mocking is a matter related to social threat and face theory. This theory says that every person, even if he is a child, wants to save his face in people. In such a situation, when the leaders or the well-known people become the center of jokes, it seems to push them the social reputation.

In politics, when a leader makes fun of, his supporters may get this personal attack. This is the reason why Shiv Sena workers got angry at Kamra’s remarks. It is also called social identity theory.

Different parts of the brain are active in joking or joking. Both work as a catalist for emotions but in different ways. The prefrontal cortex becomes active during joking or joking. It is a center of creative thinking and humor. According to the study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, people whose prefrontal cortex is more active, their sense of humor is also good. When someone makes a good joke or hears, dopamine is released, which brings happiness.

Migdala of brain becomes active in joking or mocking. It is the part of the brain that controls the feeling of danger, fear and anger. When a person feels humiliated when he is mocked, Amigdala starts working immediately. This also happens when the person is in a danger. That is, the brain gives the same reaction for mocking and danger.

During this time the hypothalamus also becomes active, especially when the person takes the joke very seriously. It triggers the fight or flight. This makes the person either silent, or gets wealthy when fighting.

The joke many times can create such a sharp response that it can cause war, violence or political upheaval. French satirical magazine Charley Hebdo was known for satirizing on religious and political issues. In 2015, there was a terrorist attack on this magazine’s office, in which more than 10 lives were lost. During the Iran-Iraq war in the eighties, both countries started making fun of each other, even programs that used to be satirized. After this, tension between the two started increasing further. Later, it was banned from intervening among others.

After the Charli Hebdo case, there was a debate about how to draw a line between Freedom of Expression and religious or personal thinking. One section believes that there should be no limit to satire and jokes, while the other started talking about control over it. Many countries also have rules and regulations to control mocking.

– Germany has freedom to make fun, but some things are banned. Like surrounding leaders of other countries. In 2016, a German comedian John Bomerman wrote a poem making fun of Turkish President Erdogan. Türkiye became angry at this and Germany had to take action on his own citizen.

There can be no satire or joke in Russia, especially about politicians, especially Putin. Anti -government satire is kept in the category of fake news. Even sharing mimes on social media can be punished if it is on the leaders.

– Free speech was a big deal in America. A show goes there- Saturday Night Live. In this, every week the leaders become fiercely fun. In the first term of Donald Trump, the show satirized him, but Trump could not take any action on it.
