Fear affects people’s lives
In the book “Night”, Elie Wiesel stands directly in the face of fear by having to watch the overpowering Nazis physically beat his father. Fear can affect people’s lives in many ways, to Ellie, fear was as if it physically and mentally hurt. Fear affects our lives by making us stronger, and by learning to fight with bravery.
Fear is a state of mind that triggers your “fight or flight” reflexes. Knowing what to do , can be a little tricky. Not wanting to make a wrong decision, we usually pick what we think is good for the situation we’re in. However, whatever decision we make, we get stronger from it. For example, the guards at the Auschwitz concentration camps were feared by many Jews, in addition to all the barbed-wire fences, burners, and guns, the guards presented a hatred-type mentality towards the Jews. Fear affects the Jews minds by not knowing how to break away from the hell-like jail that they are in.Facing one of the world’s most horrific era, made the Jews grow stronger by realizing what they can do with God in their lives. It taught them lessons that no one could ever know without being in the position that they were in, and it made their relationship with God grow stronger.
In other cases, learning to overcome fear with the concept of bravery can cause for learning to
happen in the process… For example, in the book “The most dangerous game”, Rainsford, a Big
Game Hunter, was stranded on an island and told that he was going to be hunted by day break from a War General named Zaroff. Fear shows a remarkable impact at first to Rainsford, but he knew he had to do something, or he would die. Rainsfords intentions were not to kill, but only to survive. Having fought to the last battle, Rainsford had to do something. Fighting through the fear of dying made Rainsford change as a person by knowing he could be a much stronger man through an epiphany of realization that he can fight through whatever life throws at him.
Therefor, by facing the concept of fear with either bravery or running, it affects our lives tremendously by letting us learn how we can overcome it the next time we face a certain situation.

Recent studies of new technological devices have made our life so much easier than before times. Cell phones have not only given yourself a chance to talk to others on the go, they give us the ability to talk to business owners, customers, or nation wide family! by doing so, we (people) can now make our lives easier from the economical effect cell phones has given to us. For example, two business owners are about to be inspected by the safety man, if they don’t pass, they will be shut down. The owner can call the manager to tell him clean things up and make sure everything is safe ahead of time so that they can pass. That’s why cell phones have been a huge help to or economy.
On the other hand, all good things have to come to an end right? In recent studies, people have got lazy and seriously overweight from being on their cell phones on social media all the time. More and more and more people are buying cell phones each day. Which is causing the human race to usually pay more attention to them rather than spending time with their family or friends. Now day’s, social media is a huge part of people’s everyday life. The impact cell phones have had on people is just extraordinary, it’s like we are in a trance!

For example, instead of coming home from work school, ex and spending time with family, we tend to get on our phones and social media. Parents are getting divorced everyday and one of the main reasons is communication, This comes from when the couple pay more attention to their phones they don’t get a chance to talk much and spend time with each other.
Therefor, cell phones have a major impact and effect to our daily lives. Cell phones have not only had a good role in our life’s, they also have a bad one. If we learn how to balance the time out, while spending time with family and friends, then life will be much better!
