Fear

How does fear drive action? I think fear drives action by motivating you to get over your fear and do whatever you want. What is fear, I think fear is when you are afraid to do something that you would like to do. When fear comes across someone, they do things to get away from their fear. There are many reasons why people have fear. People do different things to get away from their fear. Maybe sometimes people don’t want to face their fear so they just fear whatever they are afraid of. Than…

Fear has a way of controlling what we do what we say and how we react to different things. Like if you watched a scary movie and you are told to take the trash out or turn the lights off at night then you are going to say no because you are going to be too afraid that something is going to come out and get you. The way that I have shown fear is when I was about 9 or 10 and I went into my mom’s room and watched Friday the 13th at night. I was really scared because I thought that he was going to…

Machiavelli stated that he would choose fear when given the option of fear or love, and I have to agree with him. Fear is a strong emotion that when employed correctly against others can be a powerful tool to gain the power over a great number of people. Love can be lost readily; especially if not carefully monitored, nourished fittingly and/or taken by another. Fear can freely be applied and needs less monitoring and nourishing by the fear-instilling ruler of choice. Fear can be doled out by…

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” (Franklin D. Roosevelt). There are many things in this world that people fear, some fears are big and some fears are small. There is a wide variety of the things people fear, heights, people, and getting hurt. Why do people fear heights? people fear heights because maybe they were high up, and they fell off, or maybe they have never been high up and they are afraid to go up on something high. One kind of height that someone may be afraid of…

First, Santiago’s fear of failing to achieve his dream in the future causes him to be more reluctant in proceeding with his journey. During the journey Santiago’s heart “began to speak of fear. It told him stories it had heard from the Soul of the World, stories of men who sought to find their treasure and never succeeded. Sometimes it frightened the boy with the idea that he might not find his treasure” (Coelho 144). The fear of not being successful in a journey, backed up by stories of…

Period 7 4 September 2017 Chaotically Misguided Fear Fear is an inherent response to dangerous or unpleasant situations. However, over time, fear has warped into a harmful and ineffective emotion. Instead of fearing actual dangers, such as car accidents while driving or injuries using knives or machines, people fear items that are not threats, such as public speaking, and uncertainties such as spies in their country. Their reactions to these fears are also extreme or misguided. These issues have…

what happens (if anything at all). We are left to our own assumptions and views on how we think about death, whether fears, faith, or no thought at all. The philosopher, Socrates talks about death and the role it can play in the lives of men in the Apology. Socrates knows that many fear death, but he himself, does not. Ultimately, some saw him as courageous for being able to best a fear that…

Both Zeus and i felt fear towards what would happen if our thoughts were correct, we had to swallow that which we feared so much, so I jumped. For one of the first times in a while I felt it, a genuine fear; Zeus and I both were experiencing the same feeling, dread, but we both knew what needed to be done. I forgot to mention the story; I was in the dells at a quarry, cliff jumping, I was so scared to jump; I felt like I could die if I jumped. So what I did was close my eyes, shut out all…

Then, the use fear to control is another relevant theme. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, most of the boys fear what they call the beast or beastie. The fear starts with a littlun saying he saw a beastie, a snake-thing, in the dark. Quickly, that fear will be instilled in most of them. However, they have no concrete proof that a beast truly exists. In fact, the beast represents the savagery within every human being, they are just imagining it. Jack will use their fear to his advantages.…

Fear is a catalyst for both social decline and for social reform. Fear can control people and cause a social decline as exemplified by the townsfolk who lived on Maple street in , “The Monsters are due on Maple street,” they didn’t understand what was causing so much commotion in their neighborhood and when it came down to trying to figure things out the people just began to turn on each other and kill each other for these ‘monsters’ were the people themselves and they feared what they didn’t…
