Fearfulness and Fearlessness


Why do we have fears? We have fears mainly because of experience and psychological issues. When we have fears we want to do anything in our power to get rid of them. For example when you are scared because you think there is a monster in your room, you ask your mom or dad to check leaving you with peace and mind that you are going to sleep. How do we relate to the human kind in the story? Everybody has fears and those you say they don't are hypocrites. You even have the fear of not knowing what's going to happen. Why are we afraid of other countries? Well lets think about September 11th. We didn't know that there was going to be a terrorist attack headed for New York. We are scared of other countries because they may have certain ammunition and military that can threaten the National Security of the United States. When I think of Ikemefuna being taken away from his family and land that he has known for so long, I believe that I could probably adapt.
However, if they tried to kill me I would run like heck.

I would like to visit another country because I like to learn about other people's cultures. I know it will be hard to learn new customs, but hey hard work pays off and you might learn to like it there. Of course I would miss my family, but hey technology is awesome and I can call my parents on the cellphone, email, and even visit them every now and then. In my opinion, visiting another country is a great opportunity that shouldn't be passed up.
