The Lurking Fear

Funtional organization is defined as the principle of specialization based on function or role. So, when discussing functional organization it is my understanding that this concept refers to the idea that regions communicate based on a larger goal (the brain works together in ways that make sense in coordination with the person’s actions and thought processes).The functional organization of the brain is best categorized as a flexible, but constrained network of interrelated regions. That being…

You know the feeling you get when you are faced with your worst fear? Weather it is a spider or being held at gun point it is sheer terror in your eyes. This is how my day would start every morning since I was twelve. I would feel as though I were being chased by a 300 pound bear, everything seemed ten times worse in my eyes, everything was terrifying. "An abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physiological signs by doubt concerning the reality and nature of…

Safety is very important in our facility. Therefore, since I have started I made sure we had a meeting during our lunch break discussing the safety protocols. The purpose of this was to inform everyone what to do and where to go if something dangerous ever occurs. With so many things that have happened lately in the world it was important for me to make sure everyone feels safe and secure working here. I do hope that we never get to actually do any of these things but if there is an accident at…

that place so special. The effectiveness for each treatment changes with each child and how severe the anxiety levels are. The level of social anxiety can lead to any type of life long effects for example living at home for so long that they have fears of moving away from that comforting place.

Ultimately, some saw him as courageous for being able to best a fear that…

they get from watching violent entertainment. The same act of watching violent entertainment is also a way of coping with actual fears or violence. Most viewers can distinguish between possible real and unreal events in horror…

as my frail arms began to shake under the force of the barbell. I would have laughed too. Entering a new environment like this made me overwhelmed and lost; without my veteran workout partner by my side, I would have been eaten alive. Eaten by the fear of failure. Eaten by the anxiety living inside me. At this time in my life I cared. Not about anything, but everything. I wanted to be impressive, not just to me, but to my peers around me. I was beginning to be consumed from the inside out,…

“us” --the victims, and the audience--the same fear of our fellow man was created. No matter how “other” the tribal peoples were, they were human beings and therefore the horror instilled in viewers was that same horror and introspective confusion created by viewing Funny Games. Like Cannibal Holocaust, Funny Games calls to our attention the human capacity for needless cruelty but it also forces us to examine how we filter and…

the prisoner is dragged out by his hair, is he greeted by a nice comfortable learning experience? No, he is blinded by the light and has to wait for his eyes to adjust, because Socrates didn 't think learning was something that happened without some fear and discomfort. In The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli, as he is humbling himself and his work in the forward explaining how The Prince might not be as befitting to Lorenzo the Magnificent as the gifts of grandeur presented to him on a regular…
