American’s have a tendency to be frightened by any sign of danger. The latest scare craze, according to the article by Cheadle, Fearing Fear Itself, is the Ebola outbreak. According to the article, the governors of New Jersey and New York forced a 21 day quarantine on the health-care workers returning from West African countries, without permission from the president.
It seems these political figures, along with many others, have let fear get the best of them. I believe that a little fear is healthy. It keeps you on your feet and aware of your surroundings. But when fear becomes irrational it is not okay. We have been breed to let fear hold a leash to our lives. This leash needs to be cut. Let’s bring the brave back into our country.
