Perils Of Fear

This was Huxley’s worst fear for the future, a world where conformity causes all individuality to die off and become extinct. This is his reason for writing the book, Brave New World, to inform and warn people of the horrors that could be just around the corner if they continued on the path they were on.

In describing the nation as a “tremendous significance to the future of freemen in very part of the world.” He describes the alliance as a police force, similar to Roosevelt’s policies while he was alive. While the proposition sounds nice Senator Robert Taft’s skepticism of the treaty was not misplaced. He argued that the alliance would provoke the Soviets into attacking. He reasoned that the alliance would pull America into another world war. He proclaims the seriousness of the situation as saying “A third world war would be the greatest tragedy the world has ever suffered”. Taft notes the serous ripples this alliance treaty could have on the world and could possibly ruin it. While Taft has good intentions, not doing anything is worse. The Soviets at this time refuse to cooperate and fear is spreading across the nations, the best attempt is to band the countries together that have the same ideology

The allure of fear is interesting for some people for several reasons. These people have another perspective of how they react when they see something scary or read it. They don’t react the same way as other people that don’t like scary things. Other people like to be scared. Some people motivate others by saying to them they are not so scary and everything that is happening there is not real, since they use fiction elements, like characters, details and scenarios. These scary elements have real details but also have scenarios that are not real, this means it is magical realism. This thought of liking scary things is a physiological problem. Scientist make an article showing proof that there is a big pole of people that like scary scenarios.

Another theme is social status/gender roles which are relating to the topic of fear and finally, the religion.

On the subject, such as terrorism, many aren’t fully aware of why human beings that walk the same earth as us produce such violence. In the article it stated that “they want you to be full of fear. Of them. All the time” (Lamotte 1). This one line suggests that the killers enjoy the fear, but it is also stated that they, in fact, might be the ones in this state of mind. Granting that they are indeed in fear means that they possibly aren’t in a full state of mind. Even more, “fear is a complex psychophysiological emotional experience that results in alterations in mood, temperament, motivation, and personality” (Lamotte 2).
