Reflection #8: "Bad Luck, Why Americans Exaggerate"

Now on days everyone is scared from terrorist attacks. That’s because the government has given us fear, they make all this fear that we got it is all because of them. This essay talks about how everyone exaggerates when it comes to terrorist.

The government used those like an excuse to sell more things to us. They are like: “There is an attack in x place, buy some food and other thing so you can be safe if something happens. It is like weather, they announce hurricanes so we buy food, candles, things to guard our windows and other thing. The fears that we have made us buy all those things and do everything they told us to do. They manipulate us and all because of the money. They are also scared that the people revealed themselves to the government so they keep putting fear on us so that does not happen.

The essay also says that those entire things that people fear of have a low percent to happen like an airplane crash, how many accidents of airplanes happens in a year? How many times does a cruise crash? All those things are what build the fear in us. It is more dangerous to walk on the streets at nights than fly in a plane, it is true. We have to surpass those fears and concentrate in what really danger is like a car accident and things like those that happens almost every day. That does not mean that we are going to stop driving cars it just that we have to be caution and forgot those fears that the government have put on us so many years. It is time for us to see the true, live our own life like we like to and don’t let nobody tell us what to do and what to fear.
