Introduction
A. Have you ever been in a situation where you were filled with fear?
1. All that fear went to your brain, and you did not know how to react.
B. I experienced that same uncertainty when I was on vacation years ago in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
C. However, I did not feel hesitant for long because I knew I had to respond to that particular situation.
D. Today, I will tell you about that occurrence and the lesson it taught me. transition: The day of the incident began with an early morning and ended with an ever longer night.
I. A late evening with family is usually enjoyable, and this particular evening seemed to be no exception.

I felt ecstatic as I caught one crab after another on the beach, taking in the background sounds of the waves crashing into the shore at the same time. transition: My sister, on the other hand, was far from ecstatic, which later created the problem of this story.
II. With each powerless crab I seized, my sister began to get more frustrated.
A. She had not gotten a turn to capture a crab, which I was unaware of.
1. I had my own net, and my cousin and sister were supposed to share a net.
B. The problem was that my cousin had not shared the net with my sister.
1. This thoughtlessness angered my sister so she decided to make her way back to the beach house without telling anyone.
2. I had not realized she had left until I did not get a response when I called her name.
C. When I realized she was gone, I panicked, not knowing what to do.
1. My first instinct was to burst into tears at the thought of what could have happened to her.
a. I thought she might have been taken because there were many people on the beach.
b. I then considered the possibility that she might have been pulled into the current of the ocean because it was quite strong.
2. I was angry at myself for having fun and not paying attention to
The phenomenon of this fear does not solely lie within its longevity but in its ability to tear apart, bring together, and
What learning activity or emotional response most took me by surprise during the last two weeks? The emotional response that took me by surprise during the last two weeks was the feeling of achieving the goals from the program. Even if we still need to make few changes to our presentation as per Stephanie’s suggestion. I feel that my learning experience during the whole MSBI program and especially during the practicum has already reached its maximum level, with the completion of our presentation.
This example shows the theme of acting upon fear to do something one normally wouldn’t
Aristotle once said, “He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” Aristotle means that if one can defeat one’s biggest phobias, then he or she will be mentally released from all the terrors one had previously been afraid of. Similarly, richard Connell’s short story “the most dangerous game” demonstrates that one must conquer his or her greatest fears in order to think or act with full potential. Additionally, Connell addresses how people can change and alter their personalities in order to overcome fear. Specifically, he uses conflict in order to develop the theme that the one’s will to survive is greater than one’s will to be civilized in fearful
They don’t want to feel worried or scared all the time, but they can’t help it. Their minds play tricks on them, and they might think things are dangerous now when they are really safe” she writes on page 3. (Andrews, 2012, p. 3). Additionally, Miss Andrews uses clear, specific, non-formal diction to make the information and concepts easier
The feeling of being afraid is a type of feeling in which we have all felt at one point in our lives. The person’s reaction to this feeling is different for each person. Some of the reactions would be the stress and the feeling of being vulnerable because the person would want to know on how to protect your loved ones and of course on how to protect yourself. This fear can rise through not only imminent threats but also through perceived threats. Some of the threats that a person can experience can be a terroristic attack, for example September 11 and another threat could be a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina.
The Fear of Reality Fear dominates various aspects of life. It can elicit physiological and emotional responses that greatly influence an individual’s reaction. For example, fear can cause an individual to experience an adrenaline rush that gives someone an extra burst of energy to lift a car or quickly flee from a situation. Fear can also cripple an individual by producing intense feelings of anxiety and nervousness.
Fear can be defined as an unpleasant feeling triggered by a situation. It is an emotion encountered by every human being. However, the reactions of people to fear may vary. Indeed, it ranges from the loss of rationality to the capacity of adaptation in extreme conditions. Thus, fear can be perceived as a weapon to control and manipulate society.
Fear is not always a harmful emotion. Through fear, we have learned life-long lessons that not everything will work in our favor. We have grown around the definition that fear is “an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or be a threat” but never that the emotion is a natural and a helpful response. The Crucible, Farewell to Manzanar, and a George Takei interview all provide examples of how fear can be both harmful and beneficial.
We live our lives in fear. Some of us fear failure, maybe you fear the dark, others fear heights. While some of humanities fears may be irrational, there is no denying that everyone experiences fear. But how does fear affect us? How does it affect our actions?
Fear. You hear it all the time. And we can experience the sudden emotion in our daily lives. Any time of day there can be Fear: when watching a scary movie, getting lost in an amusement park, or being alone in the dark. But in this novel, fear takes on a whole other meaning.
Seen in the eyes of many as a joke or more than often confused with fear due to it’s many similar characteristics. In his article called, “ Searching the Brain for the Roots of Fear”, published in January 2012 on The New York Times, Joseph LeDoux, gives his opinion about anxiety to those who don’t know anything about it. He proves that anxiety occurs when we over anticipate things, causing fear within ourselves. Throughout his article he provides multiple scenarios and situations showing his audience how anxiety works, and how it differentiates from fear. Fear is a feeling we all have felt at one moment in our lives.
But often a time come when something bad happens to us and everything falls apart and we started making mistakes, we fall into the trap of anger and dominance. We forget to hold for a while, this is the time when we need to embrace and let the mud go from us. “Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.” ― Lao Tzu What would be the most fearful thing a person can ever experience?
These feelings of danger can stem from feelings of unpredictability and
There are many incidents one met in life that change the whole concept of living. Similarly I had an incident which not only change my vision towards life but also to the words you speak and how much they hurt someone enough that you then regret of saying them. It was a very dull morning for me.
