groceries, they literally waste away in their homes. The pattern becomes self perpetuating; the more time elderly people spend at home, the more TV they tend to watch, and the more fearful they grow” (45).

You know that feeling you get when you are terrified out of your mind? You know, the sweaty palms, like an elephant is sitting upon your chest, your eyes as big as golf balls, your brain saying, what are you thinking?! That exact feeling of fear is what I used to have until I learned a lesson I will remember for a lifetime. Fear can stand for one of two things; Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise.

From me being loud, obnoxious, disrespectful and disobedient to failing every class and having over 40 absences, I did not even think about college. On the brink of failing the ninth grade and having a disciplinary record longer than my school transcripts, I had my first anxiety attack. As I was gasping for air while thousands of…

been a struggle for me, not only me, but for many others. Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease. In some cases it becomes so severe that it affects your everyday life. A trip to the store for example becomes a first class ticket to a panic attack. A doctor or therapist is most the time your only option but sadly all they can do is put you on anti-depressants; which is not only bad for you, but they are also highly addictive. I’ve seen, what I thought was silly at the time, ads…

Fear is an emotion that leads people to do things they would not normally do. It awakens a sector of a personality they never knew they had. A major recurring theme in World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is fear as a driving force. Fear leads to insanity, inhumanity, and unity. In most wars, fear is liability that burdens both sides. If one side is able to capitalize on the fear of their opponents, this may give them the upper hand.
