Relationship Between Fear And Moral Action

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.

Do all living things fear something? Those with minds surely have many and various fears, but even the simplest organisms must have fear, for fear is such a powerful feeling. Fear is all around us and is felt in every corner of the earth. Fear is the emotion or feeling that a living creature gets when its physical or mental life is interrupted by a change that causes the creature concern.

People often fear what they don 't understand. Evolutionary psychology can be traced back millions of years, when fear helped keep man from peril. Avoiding the unknown created a sense of security. Consequently, since the beginning of mankind, our instincts have developed to be perilous of the familiar. 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 are challenged by fear, which causes them to go against each other. The fear of change within the town associates with racism and causes the white majority to victimize a discerned black minority. The whites have developed such a strong stereotype amongst the blacks that they have become unmindful of what’s right. 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 isolation 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

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

During the Salem witch trials, many lives that were taken due to a few people’s self defence. In the book, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, a group of girls caused a whole town to go array. This group of girls were caught naked, dancing and conjuring spirits. These girls were going to accept the blame and receive the whipping for what they did, but one of the girls, Abigail, was not about to go down. Abigail had the whole group of girls convinced that it would be best to lie and to not accept the beating. By doing this, they were put into the court and used to tell the judges whether or not the people whom were accused were truly witches. Though the girls had no way of telling if the accused were truly witches, they

Fear can motivate you to do something or stop you. One way is when doing something you know someone will do it. Why do people treat people different based off your tragedy Based off the movie Cool Hand Luke’s mom died, his partners gave him respect by leaving the room and the one of boss workers locked Luke in the box to grieve. People just don’t know how to react But we shouldn’t let fear stop us. Like going back to Antigone when Ismene burried her family relative she really didnt know what to do and she just did what was suppose to be done, what her mind told her to.

Fear can be an influence on someone's descent into a bad situation. In the play The Crucible the Puritan town of Salem is under suspicion of witchcraft. When a group of girls is discovered dancing in the forest, their leader (Abigail) tries to cover it up by accusing people in the town of witchcraft. All the accusations of witchcraft result in many different events, including the arrival of Judge Danforth and Reverend Hale. If anyone were to be under suspicion they would be tried for a confession that they dealt with witchcraft, and if they didn’t confess they would be hanged. The characters in the play are conflicted with different types of fear that change their personality and causes them to act differently. Fear influences people to take extreme measures and act irrationally.

“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

Fear is a powerful emotion. Fear causes society to do unthinkable things. It can cause people to think and act irrationally, as well as bring about panic and induce terror in society. When we think of fear, we think of something that scares us in response to an event that has taken place. According to Psychology Today, “Fear is an emotional response induced by a perceived threat, which causes a change in brain and organ function, as well as in behavior”. Although fear is an awful thing to experience and it can bring about negative changes, it can also have a positive effect on society. 9/11 and the Charlottesville massacre both were terrorist attacks that created a sense of fear in America. These attacks led the public to search for a way to

Whether it be fear of ambition, humans have some factor that is causing them to be determined to complete or start a task. It could be fear of what others may think about them or fear of the consequences that may come from their initial decision. Humans can also be ambitious in their actions and pursue a goal they have set for themselves or to benefit another person or for an ultimate change in society. Although ambition can drive humans to do things that may have thought they could not have, fear has a much greater impact in one’s actions and attitudes. In Macbeth and To Kill a Mockingbird it is evident that people are driven by various factors, such as fear. This is seen when thinking about

The world that we live in is a constantly changing one; societies rise and fall, ideas flash bright, then simmer away. This change is generally welcomed by many, as it’s usually brings more prosperity and well-being, yet there has always been this fear of what the future holds for us; the fear of the unknown. As H.P. Lovecraft said in his work Supernatural Horror in Literature, “[t]he oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” (Oates 177) This force can guide many people’s actions, paralyzing them from continuing to change with time and stagnating themselves for fear of what welcomes them down the road.
