Modern Fears

Nowadays there are lots of strange and very astonishing phobias in modern society. Most of them are caused by the pressure of 21^st century living. From my point of view, that is not normal. We have to take some actions not to let the world get cranky.

There are really hundreds of fears, so I would like to tell about some of them, which seemed me really abnormal. First of all, I'd like to mention Phobophobia - The fear of phobias. That's very strange, I think that nobody can normally explain, why people suffer from this problem. The second abnormal phobia is Cyberphobia – It is the fear of computers. As for me, this is very unpleasant phobia: people can't even normally work or get some new information from the net. The last fear, that I'd like to mention is Ancraophobia – The fear of wind. The is very deplorable disease because people can't walk outside, when it is not a very good weather.

In conclusion, I would like to say, that phobias are very dangerous diseases and, if you understand, that you have one, you must immediately go to the specialists. It is very important.

Modern fears

Fear - this is a standard security feature of an organism. But we should remember that sometimes it becomes a constant and interferes with life, turning into a phobia.
Seeing a scary movie is a good type of fear. It is fear generated by our imaginations for the purpose of entertainment. Another good type of fear is the fear generated by adventure sports such as skydiving. Those who enjoy skydiving realize that there is a certain amount of risk involved with the sport. If things don't go right the skydiver could be seriously injured or killed.Leaving your parents, for instance, is a very frightening circumstance. Leaving home where your protected and cared for is something that you have to do, it is a part of growing up. Learning how to pay your own bills and manage your money can be scary at first, but like all things it something that you must overcome.
In conclusion, I've now realized, although too late, that you don't have to avoid your fears; you should instead face them to overcome them. Running away from your fear only makes your problem worse. Like the saying, "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day,“

 Modern fears

As ous life has changed, comparing with life in the past, our fears have changed too. A risks of being injured in modern cities has increased, despite the advanced level of medicine.

Among all fears and phobias, Nomophobia (a fear of staying without a phone) is most spread. It may be caused by habit of constant communication with people, because we got used to be on call. 

Some phobias of 21-st century are related with wars. For example some people are afraid of atomic explosions, it calls atomosophobia. Nucleomituphobia - is a fear of nuclear weapons.

Also, there are a lot of illegal forces, which appears from time to time and break the law by doing terrorist acts, often with devastating consequences. So that the majority of people have fear of terrorism in their everyday life.

To my mind, all these fears are rational. If you know, that something terrible can happen to you , you will be scared about it. 

To sum up, I would like to say, that ordinary people have fears or phobias and in some, it is normal psychological fact, because everybody try to resist threatening events or situations, which we don't want to face in real life.

Amazing Survival Stories

Enter Mauro Prosperi, a Sicilian policeman and Olympic pentathlete who decided to wager his life on this race, because what else was he going to do in Italy? Eat amazing food and bone beautiful women in the sunshine? Please: Jogging up an infinite sand dune sounds like way more fun. Four days into the race, Prosperi had worked his way up to seventh place when a sandstorm arose. The rules of the race state that whenever a storm hits, runners are supposed to stop and wait for assistance, but Prosperi decided to screw that noise right in its decibel hole. He'd been to the beach before; a little sand never hurt anybody. He wrapped a scarf around his head and kept on running.Through a sandstorm. When the storm died down six hours later, Prosperi found that trudging through the desert blind and disoriented had sent him so far off course that the flare gun he fired was seen by nobody but himself. Completely alone in one of the world's largest and most inhospitable deserts, Prosperi had no choice but to keep on walking, even resorting to peeing in his water bottle to preserve fluid. Eventually he stumbled upon an abandoned shrine, but rather than get encouraged by this holy place, he made the reasonable decision to rip bats heads off, drink their blood, and slit his wrists. We have to assume that the shrine was to Dio and Prosperi had tried to go out in the most metal way imaginable to appease His Holy Diver-ness. Miraculously, Prosperi was so dehydrated that his blood had actually thickened to the point where his cut wrists were unable to bleed out. When he awoke with nothing but a couple of bitchin' scars and a headache, he felt a renewed confidence and decided to fight for life -- although it seems like death had pretty clearly rejected his advances, so what were his options, really? For the next five days, Prosperi continued to push through the Sahara, eating lizards and scorpions and drinking the dew off leaves until he stumbled upon a group of nomads, who informed him that he was now in Algeria, 130 miles from where he was supposed to be.
