For women, breastfeeding has the ability to bring back the shame of an attack or an occurrence of unwanted touching (Wood, 2010, pp. e137).
Additionally, the idea of sexual activity, for an individual who has experienced trauma and fear touch, can become an incurable fear should it not be addressed. For an individual who has suffered this type of trauma, an unsolicited touch from another human being as simple as a hand on their shoulder can bring back vivid memories of the trauma as well as the ability to place that individual right back into the emotional state of the trauma (Hatfield, 1994, pp.1). This type of situation is key to understanding personal boundaries despite the need for touch in the realm of humanity. [Accessed on 17 July 2012].
Conclusion
As seen in viewing the many facets of touch within humanity and the direct link to emotion that touch can provide for individuals, one can begin to understand how personal and subjective the notion of touch can be throughout the world and across cultures. While for so many of us, touch provides us a feeling of safety and calm, for others it brings about a feeling of fear and discomfort. In understanding the ability for touch to draw out such intense emotions, one must become familiarized with the cultural and personal standards which touch brings out in humans. In understanding the basic nature of touch, its ability to connect and divide, along with the cultural norms and stigmas that touch brings about throughout the world, one can immediately garner that touch is not as simple as it may seem at first glance.

A philosopher makes "logoi," discusses, and cross examines about virtue, is short of wisdom, and is aware of it. However, in as much as one is a philosopher, one desires wisdom and searches for it.

Socrates believes that philosophy is gathering knowledge; however, going by valid evidence, philosophy is the

He feels that a real reformer is the one who would refuse to purchase or use slave-produced goods and in this regard he noted: "Alas! alas! my brothers, there is never an abolitionist in New England" (Journals 9:128).
