Fear And Judgment Of Judgment

The allure of fear is interesting for some people for several reasons. These people have another perspective of how they react when they see something scary or read it. They don’t react the same way as other people that don’t like scary things. Other people like to be scared. Some people motivate others by saying to them they are not so scary and everything that is happening there is not real, since they use fiction elements, like characters, details and scenarios. These scary elements have real details but also have scenarios that are not real, this means it is magical realism. This thought of liking scary things is a physiological problem. Scientist make an article showing proof that there is a big pole of people that like scary scenarios.

Fear: an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat(Websters Dictionary).Fear is something that our lives have adapted to rarely use as our ancient predecessors have.In our day and age the concept of fear comes through the stress of work. We humans no longer fear a cold nor do we fear storms as our houses protect us and on average our life spans are longer as old in the Paleolithic was 33 while currently it is 71.5(Wikipedia Life Expectancy). Why then is our fear so extensive that it can make us freeze up? “The answer is our legacy of ancient fears, the result of having spent millions of years running from predators. Our fear response is more influenced by the ancient species we struggled to escape than any modern challenges.”(The evolutionary legacy of having been prey.By Rob Dunn) This is one of the statements about human life. If this is so how do we develop from terror to finding fear fun?

One of the things we fear the most is the loss of or lack of control. Even if we really don’t have control, we like to think we do, and when we lose that sense of control, fear rushes in. For example, an alcoholic will say " I can quit any time; I’m in control." The fear comes when he realizes for the first time that he is an alcoholic and that he is not in control. We all fear uncertainty and the unknown. We arm ourselves against it with candles in the dark, or faith against the uncertainty of death. Then, when we think we’ve conquered our fear, it comes invading our minds again, let in by a smell or a taste, a sound or a thought Fear is always there, just waiting right under the surface, to awaken those memories which frighten us the most.

Fear: a simple word with an abundance of meanings. To one, fear can be losing a loved one and to another it can be being alone for their entire life. Ghandi once claimed that the enemy of every soul is not hate, but fear itself. This enemy, however, can be derived from hate, for everything you loathe is the reason for your distress. Taking the Salem Witch Trial as an example, fear portrayed an enormous role in the lives of many. During the time period of 1692 to 1693, fear controlled an entire village by manipulation and hatred. Arthur Miller’s The Crucible perfectly captures how fear is exploited by characters in the play because these characters used their hatred towards others to build up horror in the sacred town of Salem. Although this classic novel was written over fifty years ago, Miller touched on timeless societal fears that still apply to the existing world today. As seen through Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, fear can prompt people to denounce their beliefs in order to save their own lives, prevent their reputation from being tarnished, and it can make one take extreme measures in order to protect the ones they love.

She screamed as though someone were bewitching her, and in this case maybe he was. Bewitching is the act of taking control over someone, perhaps that someone might be the devil. The intense feeling of fear is shared throughout the town of Salem when half the town is accused of witchcraft. Salem didn’t have much to fear except: being accused, having their family named ruined, and being marginalized by the community. Many individuals in Salem are scared of being accused because once one is accused, it is done and there is no way of denying it. After they have been accused, they then immediately accuse someone else. So, how does fear impact judgement? In The Crucible, Arthur Miller shows how many characters crack under pressure and even under

Some moments that ones have to experience can be traumatizing and harmful to the person's mind. These can affect one's actions and display signs of fear. Running away from these issues may have positive short-term effects, but as shown in Smoke Signals conquering the fear can have a much more superior effect on the mind. Sometimes condoning the issue can help one feel free and stable. Fearing one’s own past is something that should be avoided. This is a universal theme for the reason that all people have to deal with disturbing memories to some

Fear is one of the most common feeling ever experienced by the American society. There are different types of fear, although most us don’t fear the shadows or darkness anymore. The year 2017 has been a paranoia to most of us. With all these things going on, we do not know who or what to believe or even trust. Over the time, I realized I was full of fears. I always thought my biggest fear was the darkness and of what was in it. My thoughts were who or what will crawl up of those shadows looking for me. Those feelings started fading over the years, but the “imaginary individual who could take me” hadn’t disappeared. My mind started to wonder what is that individual was real and promised us the entire sea but it is only

Realized or not, it is in the innate nature of humans to fear something that they are unfamiliar with. A surgeon fears his first time in the operating room. An expecting mother is apprehensive of her first delivery. A new student is trepid about his first day at a new school. The fear of the unknown has for long defined and constrained the boundaries of societies and the actions of man, and has been, is, and will continue to shape and affect our decisions. Fear of the unknown creates, promotes, and maintains paranoia and disunity in a community in times of crisis.

Fear can cause our thinking processes to be distorted and irrational. It may create negative anticipation of things to come. It could cause excessive worrying of what others think or a fear of God’s wrath (Nichols, 2010). Fear sometimes makes the emotions of the individual get out of control with anger, anxiety, depression, and worrying (Nichols, 2010). In the book, all of these emotions are addressed and insight is given to help overcome them. It is important to do the necessary hard work to untie these knots in order to bring a person back to a healthy emotional state of mind. If the fear is not dealt with properly, it can also lead to negative physiological changes to the body as the immune system is weakened

“The Gift Of Fear,” a psychology book written by Gavin De Becker, is an extremely useful and informative read. It gives valuable advice about how to act upon human intuition, how to recognize threats, and defines what real fear is and it’s purpose. I found the book to be extremely interesting. This book provided me with a sense of understanding on violence and fear and I feel much better prepared when it comes to recognizing dangerous situations.

People often fear what they don 't understand. Evolutionary psychology can be traced back millions of years, when fear was helped keep man form peril. An aversion to the unknown was usually safer. Therefore, evolution culled for human traits that feared and avoided the unknown. Fear of the unknown causes people to become narrow-minded and ignorant of the unfamiliar, and how people behave when they believe something will happen even though there is no basis for their assumptions. This ideology directly correlates to Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Throughout the story, the townspeople attempt to overcome their various fears by turning against each other. In Maycomb, fear of change leads to racism and causes the townspeople to persecute a perceived black inferiority. The whites believe they know the outcome and become oblivious to the truth. A person 's trepidation of change lies in their willingness to take action. Boo Radley is one of the best examples of someone who is unfairly targeted because of Maycomb’s fear of the unknown. His problems with the law result in self-imposed exile within the Radley house, and because he refuses to leave his house, the townspeople are terrified and make accusations. During Tom Robinson’s trial, Atticus used logic, reason and intelligence, to prove Tom’s innocence, however, the jury let their fear, prejudice, and racism affect their decision. In addition, Dolphus Raymond is another character who

It is as the result of our mind, that we are able to form mechanisms that can help us abandon the predestined fears ingrained within us, however, with these abilities comes

In modern politics and media, issues are often unnecessarily blown out of proportion and stigmatized through misinformation. Source A details this extensively, citing the prevalence of fear campaigns and misinformation to manipulate viewers. In the past, news was often simply factual and impartial. However, fear and bias are common forces behind coverage today. Recently, a news anchor claimed in a nationally televised interview that “We’re already in World War III,” hyperbolically and without basis, simply to scare viewers into listening. Source D illustrates this issue with a viewer simply turning off hysterical news coverage when asked “What can we do to lessen the grip of fear from terrorism?” This political cartoon implies that the fear striking America from modern issues such as terrorism and immigration is

Fear is something every single human being has at some point in their life. When you are in dangerous, threatening, or scary situations, fear is what your body will feel. It is the ability to identify danger and make a choice to either confront that fear or flee from the situation like for example, if you were to break a vase, you would hide from your parents. That choice is completely up to the victim, and depends on the person. Although fear is handled differently by every person, it is a common emotion that everyone feels. Some seek out to overcome their fears, and seek the feeling of adrenaline they get from overcoming. Others flee the situation and don't think twice about trying to overcome their fear. In worst case scenarios people freeze
