Fear is scientifically proven to weaken the body physically, create problems when making memories, and stop the brain from processing correctly. Fear is a natural thing the human body creates, yet too much of it can weaken many aspects of life.

In any sprinting event, there is a definite need to have a fresh start. Safety in sports is a vital issue not only in football, but also in every sport. Concussions are amongst the numerous neurological injuries which might occur during football. SRC (sport-related concussions) can arise alone or in an amalgamate mix with brachial plexus or cervical spine injuries. In the US, estimates of 300,000 sport-related concussions are reported annually. Research has shown that football is the most frequently affected sport with 47% of players injured. It has been determined that retired players greatly suffer from Alzheimer syndrome than any other group. This essay attempts to determine the safest start position among the 3 different sprint start positions, namely a 4-point position, a 3-point position, and a 2-point position, via comparing their relevant biomechanical…
Fear can either paralyze people-or wake them up. Essentially, it keeps us safe and drives us to survive. Fear makes us more conscious and strengthens our instincts. However, fear can cause crippling anxiety. Not allowing any enjoyment out of the bounds of what is perceived as “safe”. Fear can also cause obsession, hallucinations, and fits of constant paranoia. Edgar Allan Poe uses objects that each character obsesses over to induce fear. Though each character subjected to Poe’s devices react differently they are all connected through irony, symbolism, and theme.…

Fear can be helpful in many ways. It can help by offering restraint and it can suppress irrational acts. An example is driving past the red light. As the light turns from yellow to red you think of stepping on it, but the fear of receiving a ticket stops you from speeding. Fear can be useful, but it can also be damaging. A disadvantage of fear is that it can lead to paranoia which then leads to obsession. Obsession is dangerous as seen in the three stories written by Edgar Allen Poe. The first story “Tell-Tale Heart”, it's about a man that obsesses about a creepy eye. The “Pit and the Pendulum” is about a man that’s stuck in a prison and is faced with many extremely difficult obstacles. Finally, the “Masque of Red Death” is about a prince named Prince Prospero that fears the red death and so locks himself and his friends from the outside world. In the all of the three stories, Poe uses symbol, irony, and imagery to inform us on how fear can deceive your rational thoughts and the outcome of the trick.…

This represents the lost in the poem and what people are subconsciously thinking everyday. Lines 1 and 2 epitomize this meaning because it says, "Even when I forget you I go on looking for you." This leads on to how life is symbolized in the poem as well. People go their whole lives not realizing they are lost and need time to themselves to become the person they have the potential to be. Some follow behind others and are just a copy of the person next to them, in effect they are not their own person and the things they do are not of their true choice. This symbolism is conveyed in the last two lines as it says, "What they say you who are not lost when I do not find you." In conclusion you are not truly living life if you are not living as yourself and as the…
Fear: the mere sight of the word makes some of us cringe. It is a feeling we have all dealt with at one time or another. Fear is the quintessential human emotion. Some people live lives devoid of joy, happiness, and pleasure, but no one escapes the experience of fear and fear’s companion, pain. We are born in fear and pain. Our lives are profoundly shaped by them, as well as our efforts to avoid them.” It is something that we first experience as children, and are conditioned to respond to in many different ways. Some of us live in constant fear; of accidents, of bad people doing us harm, or of physical ailments. Others simply take things as they come in life, whether they are good or bad things. In the dictionary, fear is defined as: "a feeling of agitation or anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. That is a rather ominous definition. Fear can also refer to general anxiety, as in "fear of speaking in public or "fear of open areas . These fears arise not necessarily from a present or imminent threat, but rather a perceived threat, which to some can be just as scary. For most people fear is an unpleasant feeling and it is…
