In “What you don’t know can kill you”, author Jason Daley constructs an article exploring the minds
of individuals and how one's fear perception impedes the ability to create a safe society. Daley’s essay
inaugurates the humans perplexing systems and how they alter the way one thinks such as with logic
and instinct which Daley explains in turn “gives us conflicting advice making us creep in fear for a one
in a million boogeyman while virtually ignoring the true risks which inhabit our world such as fear in
being a donor, automobiles, and guns”. Not only does this make humans look silly, but as well make
this world a more dangerous place. Through his use of stylistic elements such as emotional appeal and
selection of detail, the author captivates the audience in an engrossing article that pulls at the readers
heart strings and makes them deliberate over their veracity of fear.
Jason Daley uses a strong initiative to get his purpose across and that is done with emotional appeal.
He achieves this by giving the audience his proposal with a cultivated yet tear-je...

"Culture of Fear" is a book that describes that it is our perceptions that dangers have increased, and so much the actual level of risk. Glassner explains in all of his chapters how people and organizations use our fears as a way to increase their profit. Glassner also states about the prices we pay for our panics and all the time and energy we spend worrying. Americans are afraid because of the media's broadband expose of crime, violence, drugs and diseases.
The human mind is one of the most complex structures the gods had created. It is difficult to understand each brain process as every human being possesses his or her own distinguished thought patterns with different levels of complexities. A person’s mind greatly influences his behavior, which eventually transforms into his habit by becoming embedded into his character. Today, the world of psychology tries to understand everything that a mind can create. However, even before the field of Psychology was introduced and brought into practice, some American writers threw a spotlight on the mechanism of the human brain in their works. On top of this list is an American writer, Edgar Allan
Diabetes has been a growing problem for many years among adults in the United States. There is a growing number of Hispanic being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hispanic people are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic people (American 2013). Type 2 diabetes, in Hispanic should be addressed because the disease can be prevented. This disease can lead to number of medical problems if it goes untreated or if significant life style changes aren’t made. Simple changes can be made to prevent getting this disease. Such as, adding more fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking more water and limiting fast food intake (American 2013). Losing excess weight is an excellent way to reduce developing type 2 diabetes. A good way to do this is getting the whole family involved in biking or walking. If this issue isn’t addressed more people will develop the disease, that is preventable. Another result of this would be that the government will have to budget more money towards healthcare.

The nature of human communication requires that only a certain number of details may be expressed. A photograph leaves out what is beyond its frame, statistical data generalizes answers into categories to make results meaningful, and words distinguish between specific concepts to present ideas. The author of a written work chooses the details to express not only what they want, but how they want the audience to feel about it. I will analyze what the author chooses to include and to ignore in The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemmingway.

Fear motivates many people to act upon matters, right or wrong. This emotion has been important in many events in both works of literature, and in the real world. It has forced military geniuses into retreat, and influenced them to plan another method of attack. Fear can be both a positive and a negative acting force in one’s life, a quality that can motivate one to success as well as to downfall.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic health condition in which the level of glucose in the blood is higher than usual. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not create enough insulin and type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin is produced, but is not adequate in lowering blood glucose levels or there is resistance to the insulin (Edwards, 2007, p. 9). Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease, foot and leg amputations, and new cases of blindness in the United States (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2010, p. 1465-66). People with type 1 diabetes are required to take insulin to manage their glucose levels. People with type 2 diabetes are usually prescribed oral medications such as sulfonylurea agents, meglitinide analogues, or biguanides to help control their glucose levels. Twenty to 30% of people with type 2 diabetes require insulin therapy as well (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2010, p. 1471). In addition to medication therapy, diet and weight control can help manage both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Because diabetes mellitus can cause such severe complications, it is important that people with diabetes understand the importance of certain health and lifestyle choices, such as their diet and weight to manage their disease. Patients with diabetes mellitus should pay special attention to the amount of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and minerals that are included in their diet. Monitoring these components of their diet, along with weight management, can help control their diabetes mellitus.

This adds to the overall style of the work, which imitates many of his other works such as “Cinderella”, “Snow White” and “The Little Mermaid.” All of these works allow people to realize their inner hopes of that happy ending, because it has the ideal plot and characters, which they can easily identify because they remain the same throughout each piece of literature. These archetypes eventually permeate the culture and become socially accepted by people around the world.
According to Krisha McCoy on her article: The history of Diabetes; “In 150 AD, the Greek physician Arateus described what we now call diabetes as "the melting down of flesh and limbs into urine." From then on, physicians began to gain a better understanding about diabetes. Centuries later, people known as "water tasters" diagnosed diabetes by tasting the urine of people suspected to have it. If urine tasted sweet, diabetes was diagnosed. To acknowledge this feature, in 1675 the word "mellitus," meaning honey, was added to the name "diabetes," meaning siphon. It wasn't until the 1800s that scientists developed chemical tests to detect the presence of sugar in the urine”.
Fear is a powerful motivator and ruthless governor of thought and emotion; it is used as a tool by society in order to control behavior, and often times, paves a path towards vulnerable and thoughtless conduct. Much to the regret of society, the dark face of fear is an unavoidable phenomenon, which can be found in all of life’s domains. For instance, politicians run campaigns where fears are created in order to manipulate the masses to believe that they are the solution. By the same token, companies abuse society’s insecurities and create fear through advertising campaigns, while, journalists illustrate fear and wrongfully form and influence public opinion. Moreover, religions pressure their followers to fear a ‘supreme being’ and the awesome
