Fear is a feeling influenced by danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific encouragement occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat as a risk to body or life. Now fear is an emotion that can be influenced on to someone also qualifying as a rhetorical device.

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” What is fear? Fear can be a noun or a verb. In the noun form, it is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. In the verb form, it is to be afraid of someone or something that is dangerous, painful, or threatening. If one person looks into fear, then that person becomes feared. But imagine a whole society or community looking into fear. The fear not only gets larger as it spreads, but it also gets more fearful than it already is. The power of fear can be displayed in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and in Ronald Oakley’s “The Great Fear”. As fear moves on from one mind to the next, it leaves the victim panicked and paranoid about everything that revolves around him or her. This “symptom” is known as hysteria. In The Crucible, the hysteria greatly affected the people of Salem. As well as “The Great Fear”, the whole world was in chaos and turmoil due to mass hysteria. The consequences that followed were innocent people became accused and were persecuted (affected victims), self control and limits to go out of hand (people behaved hysterically), unjustified trials and judgments or accusations to be declared (pressures), and superiors to become defied (misuse of power).…
Most people’s perception of fear comes from negative standpoint, where fear is the evil villain that you try to get away from, but can fear also be helpful? In all good stories, there is always a dilemma, and with the struggle of that problem comes fear, but what truly shows that character’s mental strength or personality is how they handle that problem. In the stories, ¨The Tell-Tale Heart,” ¨The Pit and the Pendulum,”and ¨The Masque of the Red Death,” all of the main characters experience fear, but handle it in very different ways. Whether they use that fear to help them overcome the problem, or their fear results in paranoia. Edgar Allan Poe uses symbolism, irony, and figurative language to portray how fear distorts the emotional state…
Fear is an emotional response caused by a perceived threat. Fear begins with the upsetting response. Feeling fear is human. Sue Towey writes, “Fear prepares us to react to danger.” If we could not be afraid, we wouldn't survive long. We’d be walking into oncoming traffic, stepping off of rooftops and playing with tigers.…
The vitality of the human race is dependent on its primitive sense of fear. We fear of losing our safety and security. Inherently, fear is avoided at all costs, therefore it is an effective use of persuasion.

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.…
Health promotion is defined as the process of enabling people to increase control over their own health and therefore improving their health. An example of recent health promotion is the ‘Stoptober’, this is a campaign to try and get smokers to give up smoking for 28 days.

This is to create a certain amount of arousal in the person by using fear, making them want to quit.…

Aristotle believed courage to be the most important quality in a man. “Courage is a mean with regard to fear” (Aristotle). Courage is the willingness to act in spite of fear. Courage is not the absence of fear; it requires fear. As a human being, fear is part of everyday life. Without the concept of the fear, courage wouldn’t exist. On the other hand, risk is, by nature, scary. It’s uncertain, unpredictable. Having the courage to take risks in life is important in order to conquer fears.…
They might have wonderful ideas, but this fear prevents them from speaking and getting those ideas across. Some people experience fear to such an extent that they become trapped in their homes, unable to leave because of the symptoms of fear they experience. Allowing fear to make decisions for us prevents us from enjoying and experiencing life the way it can be experienced. Because of fear, some people never travel by plane, or take long car trips missing out on visiting family, friends, and events and missing out on perhaps life changing experiences because fear stops them from taking part in the…
