MANKINDS GREATEST WEAKNESS

What is FEAR to me?
=>To me FEAR is a series of events that include external or internal stimuli's that triggers different responses within us or to our bodies which creates the emotion we can FEAR.

->FEAR is set by thoughts that we implant within our minds. It's usually created by negative reinforcements at different stages in our lives.
->Although a lot of people view FEAR as a bad thing, FEAR is actually needed in the world to keep ORDER and prevent CHAOS.

=>A man without FEAR wouldn't obey the authorities, nor would he experience any anxiety. A man without FEAR would openly speak his mind since he wouldn't FEAR what others think, feel, or say. He would live RECKLESSLY everyday of his life through unsafe tasks such as unprotected sex, speeding, drugs, and murder. A man without FEAR would have no boundaries in life.

FEAR is mankind's greatest weakness. FEAR limits man from reaching his full potential, his goals, and confrontations. We Fear what we are weak of or is out of our control.


MY FEAR EXPERIMENT

(The situation and the experiment)
In my past I have had a lot of fears. Some fears were longer lasting than others while others were short-term. In my situation I used one of my little tangible fears, the balloons. The balloon pack came in a variety of colors, so I decided to associate each past fear of mine with a color of a balloon. Red= Mom(ster) Black= Afraid of the dark Blue=drowing and etc. By popping the balloons I wanted to release all those past fears along with the tangible of fear of popping balloons.
(The reaction)
The reaction from the class is exactly what I thought it would be. A lot of laughs and giggles came from the classroom as I popped those balloons. Laughs came when I didn't pop the cheaper balloons.

BUNIFA LATIFAH HALIFAH SHARIFA JACKSON N A PROCRASTINATION DUMMY

Bliss Day
Last Monday I decided to hang out with a friend for the rest of day for my bliss assignment. My friend had just moved to Indianapolis from TN and was hating the weather, the city, and the people here so far. I chose to introduce my friend to BUNIFA...JACKSON. Bunifa is fictional character on the hit television MADTV. We sat at his house watching BUNIFA clips for over an hour in a halve laughing so hard.

Stuff Animal
From the day we received the stuffed animals my Gumby has been riding in the BACKSEAT of my car for the last two weeks. The Gumby doll represents WORK and not just any work but school work. I have had the doll for two weeks and yet I waited till the day before the assignment is due to do something with it. Over the past two weeks I have received a D on a speech that I practiced for a day before I had to give it. The worst part about receiving the D is that the teacher had put I would of gotten a B if I didnt go over my time by two minutes. If I would have studied more I would have knew I had too much info in my speech. This last sat I had a midterm exam I knew about for two weeks, but yet I waited three days before I had to take it to start studying over 8 chapters. I believe I did okay on the exam but not my best.


Mr. Gumby represents my PROCRASTINATING attitude over my school work. Gumby is so FLEXIBLE (or at least suppose to be since he is like all stretchy) maybe I should try to build a flexible schedule around my school work, work, and free time.
