Fear

[|FEAR+IN+HISTORY.ppt]The Psychological Effe cts of Fear Choose from: 9/11 - ( Laura) " Osama bin Laden himself claims that al Qaeda was solely responsible for 9/11. After the largest criminal investigation in history, the US government's 9/11 commission also concluded that al Qaeda was solely responsible for the attacks. Attributing the sole responsibility for 9/11 to al Qaeda then brings us to the larger question: what caused al Qaeda to launch the attacks?"(prospectmagazine.com) what i just put on here is word for word from the sight so just remember to paraphrase. While there are thousands of reasons as to why the attacks could have been made several have been given more credit such as: Radicalisation caused by the afghan jihad, distorted readings of Islam texts, and amoung other reasons, the alienation of some muslims. The events of 9/11 through our country into a succession of questions as to what to do while keeping the peoples intrest at heart. it affects us to this day as we are in a war that has lasted almost 7 years.This link: __http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=7717__. is EXCELLENT in discussing the war. im in Psych as well and its great for incorporating social Psych with fear.

Red Scare - ( Sam)Within these two dates the country witnessed--not so much in rapid succession as concurrently--a deadly flu epidemic, a strike wave of unralled proportions, harsh suppression in some cases of those strikes, race riots, hyper-inflation, mass round-ups and deportations of foreign born citizens, expulsion of duely-elected officials from various offices in government, an incapacitated president, espionage laws, sedition laws and, of course, the advent of Prohibition and women's suffrage.http://newman.baruch.cuny.edu/digital/redscare/ABOUT_RS.HTM Atomic Bomb (laura) - " United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and the Japanese government surrendered to the United States and its allies. The nuclear age had truly begun with the first military use of atomic weapons".( http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB162/). The nuclear bomb destroyed millions of lives and did damage that not only effected population, but also government, agriculture, and obviously economy as they now were in reconstructoin. WWII-(Sam) was a global military conflict, the joining of what had initially been two separate conflicts. This global conflict split the majority of the world's nations into opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. It involved the mobilization of over 100 million military personnel, making it the most widespread war in history, and placed the participants in a state of "total war", erasing the distinction between civil and military resourceshttp://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/liberation/?gclid=CLGuovPXxpMCFRUWsgodIg3EDA Vietnam (laura) - "The conquest of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and was completed by 1884. It became part of French Indochina in 1887. Vietnam declared independence after World War II, but France continued to rule until its 1954 defeat by Communist forces under Ho Chi MINH. Under the Geneva Accords of 1954, Vietnam was divided into the Communist North and anti-Communist South. US economic and military aid to South Vietnam grew through the 1960s in an attempt to bolster the government, but US armed forces were withdrawn following a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later, North Vietnamese forces overran the South reuniting the country under Communist rule. Despite the return of peace, for over a decade the country experienced little economic growth because of conservative leadership policies".([|https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/vm.html)

PTSD-(Sam) an emotional illness that develops as a result of a terribly frightening, life-threatening, or otherwise highly unsafe experience, re-experience the traumatic event or events in some way, tend to avoid places, people, or other things that remind them of the event (avoidance), and are exquisitely sensitive to normal life experiences (hyperarousal) & the link between emotion/memory- emotion- A complex pattern of changes, including physiological arousal, feelings, cognitive processes, and behavioral reactions, made in response to a situation perceived to be personally significant. memory- The mental capacity to encode, store, and retrieve information.

Fear-(Sam) However, many people are plagued by chronic and unrealistic fears, including phobias and obsessions, that cause much unnecessary distress and can severely reduce their ability to function normally in society. A few types of behavioral therapy include desensitization flooding- flooding is period of time in which there is an overflow of influencing ideals to make a phobia extinct, for instance if someone had an acrnaphobia then they would be locked in a room of spiders and at first feel anxious but eventually desynsetize and become calm and loose their fear. Flooding is a form of operant conditioning. modeling- http://tip.psychology.org/bandura.html

Emeraghi David :History (Bomb Shelter):http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/jwb/AP/Images/BombShelter.jpg During world war two bombs shelters became increasingly popular due to the spreading fear of air raids and nuclear attacks. Towns developed sirens that would go off to alert the town of a potiental nuclear or air raid attack throughout world war two. Even though a nuclear or air raid attack never happened on America the fear that citizens had of being unprepared made thousands of peole across the country want to have a bomb shelter.

Fear takes Part in the Depression (Evidence of the depression):http://voa.52en.com/200608/spec2345a0803.htm) When America's stock market crashed in 1929,chaos and fear spread like wild fire. Million dollar companies became worth cents in minutes. As the depression continued to spread throughout America people were terrified of loosing their jobs. This left room for companies to take advantage of their workers because they knew that nobody would quit during this period.
