FEAR! We all experience fear from time to time. It is a major reason of why humans have survived for so long. Not only can fear be used for survival, it can also be used as a form of control. When people are scared of something, they will do or listen to anything that they think will keep them safe from whatever is scaring them, which can be a positive or a negative. Fear can be positive in the sense that it can help one avoid danger, negative in which it can be used for manipulation. I think that TV uses fear in order to manipulate people, especially local news. For the people that watch the local news and nothing else, they probably think that the world is full of psychos and that the only safe place to be is in there house. When in fact there aren’t even that many dangerous people in the world. They only make up a small percentage of the world.  ¶ posted by Josh at 7:48 PM •
