In our society we have so many horrible events happen and have a hate for many that we are taught to live in fear. Our society is so full of ignorance that it has corrupted the whole system and puts people in their place. The fact that we have warning labels, for the silliest things, shows how much our society lives in fear.
It has been one year since the horrible incident of the Boston marathon bombing, I have found an article on how it has effected the politics.

The article talked about the experience of that day, how the mayor in office was at the hospital and many runners where in the race that were going to run for office since the mayor was retiring. After the first bomb went off people knew to come together and give any help that they could give. The amount of people who to came together in such short time was truly amazing; even with the amount of fear I’m sure was surging through their bodies. No one knew whether the incident was a terrorist attack or if it was planned specifically to take out some people that were known to be in the race. Between the bomb happening and till they found the bomber and even for some time after none of the canidents knew whether they could return to campaigns or not. After a few months campaigns were back up and running with many playing up the fear of the marathon Monday. The winner for new mayor made his speech and coined the phrase “Boston Strong”. This just goes to show how we can use fear to get a head in life.
