This appeals to fear because “anxiety-ridden” is a phrase that has a negative meaning and would incite a sense of fear, especially when describing a generation of children. Furthermore, in this section Allan Richarz describes children with phrases such as “fearful of their own shadow”, that something “deprives children of important learning experiences”, “helplessness” and “smothered and fearful.” These are all phrases that have a negative meaning and things that no parent ever wants for their child.
