Fear Of People In Lycopodium
Fear of people in Lycopodium is related to the feeling of a cowardice. In the beginning of the pathology, Lycopodium patients display a great lack of self- confidence, enormous inability of fulfilling their life responsibilities and a great sense of inferiority. Because of this inner weakness, they fear that other people will notice it and they compensate for it by creating the world where they surround themselves with people whom they don't have to fear but in the fact, who fear them. They enclose themselves with people who boost their ego and never contradict them. With the progression of the pathology, Lycopodium patients become more and more dictatorial, tyrannical and controlling that lead them to become more terrified, petrified and

    The saying “be the bigger man” can be applied to many scenarios. It often refers to being the person who takes charge or to being the person who ends an argument. But why do people associate size with taking charge? This is a question that arises in Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The story is told from the perspective of patient in a mental ward, nicknamed Chief by patients and nurses, who has been in an asylum for fifteen years of his life. When Chief is describing his or other people’s size, he is portraying their confidence and their power within the ward. That is why at first, he sees himself as small, McMurphy as huge, and Nurse Ratched as the "Big Nurse”; ultimately, as he himself regains his self-confidence, he…

    We're members of the animal kingdom and fear is an involuntary thing. He also believed, Socrates, “that living life consistent with the intention of understanding the immortal will result in allowing an understanding of the soul without the delusion of societal norms. Socrates states, "I want to explain to you how natural it seems to me that a man who really devoted his life to philosophy should be confident in the face of death, and hopeful of winning the greatest of prizes in the next world after death...” (2011, fall) Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death. Socrates has no fear of death. Devoting his life to Philosophy and sacrificing all the normal societal desires, Socrates understands not to…

    There is the fight or flight that every living being uses, animal and human. Humans often have other bodily reactions to fear, such as fast heart rate, sweaty palms and many others. Often times, the same person can have different reactions to different situations. For example, when I take a big test or write an essay, my hands begin to sweat. Not only does this help me calm down, I am able to focus on the task at hand. I have had a lasting fear of “The back room” in my house, it is a room that is unfinished and is used for storage purposes. I fear the room because it has a decent amount of old stuff, the room is dusty, and it is a dwelling for many arthropods and arachnids. I do not hate the room itself, because it holds the water heater and all the tools to make my house work smoothly, but I fear what lies behind the boxes, the old board games, and the unknown inside it all. Every time I have to go back in the room, I shiver and shudder and pray that there is not any sudden movement that passes my feet. While I shiver at the thought of bugs and the unknown I also have a terrible fear of heights. My fear is so bad I can barely go on the final step of a six foot ladder. I refuse to go into the attic and I scoff at the idea of helping my sister put Christmas lights on the roof. When I do come to a situation when I am on a rooftop or on a mountain overlooking a valley, not only am I…

    Throughout lower school, and much of middle school, I had one looming fear. This fear ate me alive. The knowledge that at one point during my school career, I would have to endure a substitute teacher completely consumed me with a fear that rocked me to my very core. I can remember physically wincing when I opened the classroom door, and saw writing on the board that explained my teacher’s absence. I wasn’t fearful of a change in teaching styles, or the possibility that the new teacher would be absolutely dreadful, instead, I was deathly afraid of roll call.…

    Fear In Frankenstein

    When first introduced to the product of Victor Frankenstein’s creation, one shudders in revulsion at the ghastly sight of such an unnatural and grotesque being. Little did they know that horrified response was the key feeling Mary Shelley sought to evoke when she wrote her gothic novel Frankenstein; however, she manipulates that fear in such a way so as to show that what may seem scary in the moment is actually not the true danger, or rather, ‘monster’. Mary Shelley introduces a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, with great ambitions and also great flaws, so as to twist a seemingly innocent endeavor into something with very grave consequences. The first major crack in the foundation of Victor’s quest to create life is found when he sets up the…
