In this TED talk video, the necessity of it is because in general public it is told to ignore fear instead of using it as a tool in life, which prompts us for not being well prepared with having something going on all around us. Additionally, our disposition to accept control and we compose more clear however nonsensical worries as opposed to the more honest yet sensible ones. Karen Thompson Walker uses cases of fear to portray this from standard society today, including critical instances of affairs the world appearances, for instance, moderate ecological change and coronary ailment, getting her point across to her group that she has identified as her audience, which is 21st century Americans.

Everybody has a different perspective on fear and everybody is affected differently. The Mental Health Foundation stated that, “Fear can last for a short time and then pass but it can also last much longer and stay with us. In some cases it can take over our lives, affecting appetite, sleep, and concentration for long periods of time. Fear stops us from travelling, going to work or school, or even leaving the house.” This quote shows that fear does not affect people as much as it does to others. Although, fear can affect people for a long time which can cause them to stay isolated from others. There are many types of fears and some examples of fears include: the fear of the number 13, the fear of spiders, the fear of heights, and many others. There are hundreds of fears and many people have these fears and everybody is affected differently.

This parallels real life and post-apocalyptic life because it shows the struggles of everyday life. At the beginning of the story, the four kids described the neighborhood as “cracked” roads that tanks rolled over when they were in town. After that, they run into this group of young men wearing “red rags around their biceps, making faces to make it clear they know how to kick a**.” They realize that parents are hiding out of sight, allowing their children to get some experience

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

.Not all living things go through the idea of fear; in fact, humans are the only creature capable of think about this concept in this way. Fear can makes us think of all the possibilities of the future to come. When we think about our destiny, our instinct tells us to start preparing and dreading what's to come. Humans visualize the worst possibility and usually over-prepare themselves and family.

Many people have it much worse than I do. For them their only way to survive is to stay positive, and I can learn so much from them. In the news story Picking up Butch I learn about Butch, a man with a devastating heart disease, and how Middlebury athletes pick him up to see football and basketball games, because he can't get there on his own. It teaches me that some people have it so much worse than I do that they can't even walk. Another example is in The Man in the Well I read about a man stuck in a well begging and pleading for help from these kids, but they lie and refuse to help him. This story shows how cruel some people can be when others are desperately needing their help. The children do eventually bring him food and water, but

As a funk, hip-hop performer, performing a music video, dedicated to gun violence and segregation in 2018, was a big risk.

In another poem written by Walt Whitman he said “I hear America singing… Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs,” (1,18).

Early on in the novel, the reader begins to learn that the The Man and The Boy have a very close and intimate bond. Rather than causing a strain on the their relationship, the isolation that constantly follows the pair on The Road actually made their bond as father and son stronger . Traveling along The Road by themselves causes The Man and The Boy’s relationship to become extremely codependent. The Boy relies on The Man like any child would rely on their father. The Boy completely counts on The Man for everything, including food, shelter, clothes, and everything else that is needed to survive on The Road. The Man keeps them safe from the “bad guys” and keeps them alive and as healthy as he can. The Boy’s needs are always put before The Man’s needs. However, The Man depends upon The Boy just as much as The Boy depends on him. If it weren’t for The Boy, The Man would have been dead a long time ago. The only reason that he has survived this long is because of The Boy. Making sure The Boy survives is the only meaning that The Man has to his life. The Boy’s continued existence is the most influential motivation

     Imagine an inner city kid having grown u in an environment where real life street violence is a way of life. His body, having survived personal experiences of violence, endured barely life sustained conditions, and many sleepless nights caused by the constant yet unpredictable call of death. His mind doubtful over where his next meal will come from, lost in search of some higher guidance, struggling through a world, not of innocent childish fantasies, but trapped in a forced reality. His only outlet is the loud blaring music coddling his already pent-up rage, an escape from these harsh realities, seducing him to a life of violence. In him is created a “me against the world” mentality that is manifested in
