I think it’s pretty interesting that fear seems to control a lot of our society.  Fear is used in the media for everything it seems…from who to vote for, what to think, new things coming to town, the reason for this that and the other thing.  Fear always seems to supply the motivation….I’ve known that fear was used as a method of control and motivation in our society, especially through media for quite some time, but what I didn’t realize is how it was used at all levels of society.

For example, if a boss is scared that they are going to lose their job or look bad because of those working under them, it always seems like they do their best to pass that fear along….the response to fear is so ingrained into some people that once the fear ball gets rolling, it keeps going and does all of the work for the person at the top.  Fear filters down until people are making up things and are afraid for their own jobs and reputations. 

Why do we let fear control so many aspects of our lives?
