This is one of the greatest misconceptions. Not greatest as in "unreal!! mo-fo's 
" but greatest as in prevalence. What would your immediate reaction be to the idea that aggression actually increased concentration ability and led to increased learning??
It sounds contraversial because it is. First and foremost, the misconception. Emotions don't act against us all the time, only under extreem circumstances where our "vision" can become distorted as emotional content distracts the reasoning ability normally exercised. This is a can situation and doesn't imply will in any matter of fact way. Some are better at control than others and can put these feelings aside momentarily, for the cause of interpersonal communication-relationships.
But now you say emotions contribute to such areas as art, culture and relationships. What about scientific discovery, where do emotions come in to play during human invention and theoretical construction?
