The Experimenter 's Effect On Age

Life can be seen as a continuous story. It has a beginning and an end, and every event has its own impact in the story. Fears can be a result of specific events that made an impact strong enough to cause it. We turn everyday objects, situations, or ideas into fear, but, why? Fear is a natural response, our reflexes are based on what we know, and when something unknown is presented to us our first reaction is to seek for awareness. For example, children tend to have more fears than adults do. Their understanding of things is still developing, therefore, it is too narrow to comprehend some things further than what they can see, as darkness. Adults’ understanding on this is supposed to be fully developed, but yet, a fear as nyctophobia, the fear of the dark, is something that can follow people throughout their whole lives, as stated in “Nyctophobia: From Imagined to Realistic Fears of the Dark” by Joshua Levos and Tammy Lowery Zacchilli,“It may be that the unrealistic fear of the dark that is seen in children might have transformed into a more realistic fear of the dark in adults.” The lack of certainty puts us in an anxious state. Humans have always looked for ways to avoid the dark. From oil lamps to electric light, early humans invented ways so they could see in the darkness, which shows that humans have always been scared of the dark. But the question remains, why are humans afraid of the dark?

As you grow older your views on what you fear change. As a child, I developed a fear of little things such as ghosts, the dark, etc. Once I grow into an adult I developed a of things observed on a daily. Americans between the age group of children and adolescents introduce themselves to bigger fears by watching movies that replayed on the already experienced fears. For example: Freddy Krueger, Jason, Vampires, Werewolves, etc. Many people in society watch these horror movies, and movie goers assume that directors based the movies on serial killers, who become glorified for the crimes committed and made into huge stars that we love. In the film Halloween, a little boy name Michael Myers kills his sister at the age of six. Twenty years later, Michael return 's to his home town Haddonfield, Illinois to kill a group of teenagers that appear around his deceased sister age. Halloween identifies as one of those gruesome films that you question, because he was a six year old when he first killed. To society Michael exemplifies monster qualities because at that age, how can someone so young stab his sister or anyone to death. Michael Myers poses as a Monster in America, he demonstrates traits of the devil in him and express his hate by killing his family, by existing in a dysfunctional family.

In human nature there exists a morbid desire to explore the darker realms of life. As sensitive beings we make every effort to deny our curiosity in the things that frighten us, and will calmly reassure our children that there aren't any creatures under their beds each night, but deep down we secretly thrive on that cool rush of fear. Despite our efforts to maintain a balance of respectable emotions, we are a society of people who slow down to look at traffic accidents and find excitement in the macabre. We turn off the lights when watching scary movies, and when it's time to go to bed, we secretly make sure the closet doors are shut. Fear keeps our hearts pumping and endorphins rushing, for it is an emotion that reminds us of our

Imagination can overcome fear even when there is no reason to be frightened. As shown in the

Fear is an existing emotion that begins in childhood and progresses into adulthood. Children ages zero to two fear separation of parents, loud noises, and strangers while three to six year olds fear imaginary beings such as ghost and monsters (Smith). It is understandable that fear progresses in one’s lifetime, morphing from childish fears into more real-like scenarios. Propaganda, especially during wartime, appealed more to the fears of adults, as artists were targeting that

Fear of the dark still remains and they may have a fear of moving objects and fear of being abandoned by their parents

When Ellie was younger, she was given a goldfish that she thought would live forever, which turned out to be a series of thirteen replacement goldfish. One day Ellie's mom brings home a strange 13-year-old boy who turns out to be Ellie's scientist grandfather, who has discovered the secret of reversing the effects of time and plans to live forever. While this development solves the problem of a sitter for Ellie, life becomes rather strange: her grandfather continues to act like an old man, scolding Ellie's mom and wearing a tie and chinos to school. He desperately wants to retrieve the jellyfish specimen that was the subject of his anti-aging experiments, but he has been banned from his lab. This problem develops into an adventure for Ellie,

Age does negatively affect the ability of two people to achieve the life they want, raise a child, and maintain a healthy relationship. When you start a family at a young age it can stop you from doing things you enjoy. In the story this is seen when the boy has to choose between going to enjoy his hobby with his buddy and helping his wife with the baby that won’t stop crying. After attempting to leave his wife tells him “You’re going to have to choose…Carl or us, I mean it”. If the boy knew having a family meant sacrificing time with his friends, he may not have went into something so committed, so fast. If you’re planning on having a kid you should be well prepared. You need a decent size home and steady income. In this story, the couple

Figure 4, represent the comparison of ages between gender, those who participated in the adult full-time workforce survey. To find out the comparison of gender and age I decided to break out the ages between four categories so that I could easily find out that what ages of people respondents much in the survey and shares their confidence and satisfaction in their working place. However, the four categories are young (18-26), Adult (27-40), Middle aged (41-55), and Old (56- up). There were more females (119) than males (81) participated in this adult survey. By comparing, Age of Gender in this frequency polygon shows that in this survey starting from the young aged there were adult and middle aged people respondent more than other two categories

Many people have or have had a fear whether it’s a fear if the dark, clowns, or heights. Most fears are in your head and are psyching you out and some even are imaginary, but are used to scare you. One thing that people, mostly children, are, or have been afraid of is the Boogeyman. The Boogeyman although imaginary, is based on a real story. It is linked with one of the most horrible killers, Albert Fish, from the 1800s. A much better description of the Boogeyman and why we have fears are explained in The Boogeyman by Stephen King and in What’s the Boogeyman?, a scientific American article.

My five years old son is a dare devil. However, he can’t sleep in his room by himself at night. He moved into his brother room and she won’t go back to his room. When I asked him what is afraid of, he couldn’t really tell me. Anyhow, parents should understand the different between normal fear and Anxiety Disorders. Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety from time to time. These feelings can range from a mild sense of uneasiness to full-blown panic depending on the person and the situation. However, Anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety, Phobias, Social phobia etc., are among the most common mental health conditions. It would be best for parents to have their child get checkup if the fear persistent. I agree with you, advising the

Down on the grimy dirt track, I am in the center of hundreds of sweating, aggravated people who have been waiting long hours in the scorching sun. Sweat beads drip slowly down my neck, towards my backless dress for everyone to see. Looking at the drunken and impaired, I start to notice all the contrasting age differences who surround me. A vast majority of the audience neighbouring me, appears to be my age. Young adults who get to disregard all responsibilities for one night, until we go back to our summer jobs the next morning. Mothers stare in disbelief as they see girls dressed from head to toe in skimpy cut off jeans, and pieces of clothing that barely cover their breasts. Older men stand in their authentic cowboy boots, overcompensating for God knows what, as they keep a watchful eye over their much younger girlfriends.

A standard multiple regression was performed investigating the effects of age, gender, perceived peer pressure about environmentally conscious behaviour, and selfishness on participation in environmentally conscious behaviour. Preliminary results indicated that higher scores on peer pressure were associated with higher scores on behaviour. Results also indicated that there were no significant relationships between scores on age, gender or selfishness, and scores on behaviour. Results indicated that higher scores on selfishness were associated with higher scores on peer pressure. However, there were no significant relationships found between remaining predictor variables. See Table 1 for descriptive statistics and intercorrelations.

What I’m looking for in my experiment is how the different age ranges effect people’s opinions on a political and social topic that is very popular currently. In order to find this from the data I collect I will first record the amount of posting of Facebook articles and how that correlates to the age range. However, after this I will look beyond the surface and analyze the persons reasoning and

I’ve always had fears in the back of my mind but as I’ve got older I have come realize that they were childish and silly thoughts that stopped me from achieving big things. The first fear I had was Nycophobia or in other words the fear of darkness. I could distinctly remember when I could see shadows on the wall which in my mind were monsters, ghosts.
