    A Fear of Looking Foolish Most of us have a fear of looking foolish. We are afraid of the thoughts of doing something that will make us look less than perfect. But always remember to be human is to be foolish. When we release our fear of looking foolish‚ we free ourselves to be real and be who we really are. We have all had times when we felt foolish. Even in times‚ when things don’t go so well‚ we still know how to handle those less than perfect times. The best way‚ in my opinion‚ is just to acknowledge

    I recently finished reading your book called Looking For Alaska. After conducting research‚ I am aware that various schools have challenged whether or not the book is appropriate to keep in school libraries. Although your book contains controversial content‚ I think the theme composed in the story makes the controversy of the content irrelevant. Therefore‚ I disagree with the individuals who think Looking For Alaska should be banned from schools. This novel should not be exempt from schools because

    The Looking-Glass Self by Charles H. Cooley I will be talking about the looking glass self‚ made famous by famed American sociologist Charles Horton Cooley.
