In the article “A Decade of Fear” Sam Robert explains how McCarthyism turned Americans against each other in the decade after World War II by creating fear on every single one of them, because they were either involved with Communism or knew someone who was. According to Robert “screenwriters, actors, directors, and producers were dragged before the House Un-American Activities Committee and asked to “name names” of colleagues who had Communist ties or sympathies” (par. 13). In other words, men and women were asked to expose friends and/or family who was associated with the practice of Communism. As a matter of fact, society did not really have a choice at that time, because the government was callous and did not care about their rebuttals.…

In the novel “Fear and Trembling” by Soren Kierkegaard, one of the main topic discussed was ethical and how it was associated with the universal. Also, how ethical is related to tragic hero and the knight of faith. For instance, the action of a tragic hero, like agamemnon sacrificing his daughter is still ethical because his action was done publicly and for common good. Ethical is temptation for the knight of Faith because they have the choice to do something right.

“Death is the cause or occasion of loss of life” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). The majority of people fears death. Some are afraid of what is there after death; some are afraid of the act of dying itself.

Some say that this fear follows from the fear of life but that is not the only cause why most of us fear death so much as to affect our daily lives.…

The Fear of Inferiority Everyone has discussed how supremacy affects immigrants directly through racism and discrimination, but has anyone ever stopped to notice how the racism involved with supremacy affects an immigrant 's sense of individuality? Individuality is a concept that America lives and breathes on, so why are immigrants being suppressed of their individual freedom? Supremacists are not necessarily people who dislike colored people, but instead people who feel the need to seek a dominance in power, which can also be observed as a fear of being inferior. Unfortunately, supremacy is often portrayed by disapproval of a race which results in violent racism and discrimination; the group of supremacists associated with this violence is…
Reflection Précis #1, “The Creation and Role of Fear in American Culture”, (2/1) PART I: In this lecture session, Dr. Jendian talked about fear and defined how it plays a role within our society. Fear is known to be very powerful and can at times lead to destruction. In the film Hijacking Catastrophe, by Media Education Foundation, they focused on the 9/11 attack and its effect it had on the people. The 9/11 attack was seen as an example of how we should, like George W. Bush stated, “Fear, fear”. It gave the American people an idea that it’s a dangerous world and that we should expect the worst out of everything, specifically in this case terrorism.…
