Evaluate how fear is used in society.

You are required to research how fear is used in society and support yourself with textual evidence.
Consider what you have seen in the news, personal experiences, books, online sources, etc.
This is a BROAD topic.
Tailor it to your interests.
Potential topics can relate to the fear of the government, power, global warming, disease, missing out, falling behind, religion, etc.
Take Cornell notes while you research.
