primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear is the basis of the whole thing – fear of the mysterious‚ fear of defeat‚ fear of death.” asserted British philosopher‚ Bertrand Russell‚ in his 1927 lecture‚ ‘Why I Am Not A Christian’. Essentially‚ Russell suggests that fear is the origin of religion. The same theory of fear-based religion is evident

Thinking about the possible monsters under your bed or ghosts in your closet. But it’s not that these ghosts or monsters are actually there‚ it’s just the fear of the unknown. In the Lord of the Flies the characters are afraid of the unknown‚ which causes them to act differently‚ irrationally‚ and impulsively. The fear of the unknown causes fear. In LOTF‚ this is proven by how the children react to every little movement‚ noise‚ or dark outlining they see. The more they think about the beast‚ the

Fear‚ one of the most powerful and compelling things over man. Fear can empower someone‚ make them cower away‚ or give them courage to face their fear. Franklin Roosevelt and William Golding both believed that people are just afraid of fear itself. In the novel‚ Lord of the Flies‚ Golding portrays a few ways on how people deal with fear. Fear can be used to empower someone such as Jack in the novel. Jack uses the fear of the boys into following him. Whenever people are fearful they often turn to

wholly evil? A: I don’t identify with any of the characters in 100 Years Of Solitude. They’re all extremists and unstable in their own ways‚ which separates us on a mental and emotional level. I think their transparent innocence‚ especially in the beginning of the book‚ is almost impossible to feel in today’s society. On another note‚ Melquaides proves himself to be the most admirable character. His passionate desire for knowledge‚ ability to introduce ideas to people‚ and his honesty in doing so is

I think all of our wisdom consists of things we know that are not good for

Though knowledge and wisdom may seem alike‚ they are really very different. They actually only have two things in common - they both involve the mind and both are hard to acquire. Someone who has knowledge would know that a tomato is a fruit‚ but someone who had wisdom would know not to put them in a fruit salad. Anyone can obtain knowledge about anything‚ but only some can use that knowledge and apply it in the best way.Knowledge’ is information of which someone is aware. Knowledge is also used
