Fear of human 1
Fear can challenge humans’ judgment and misrepresent the truth. Fiction writer Karen Walker shared a story about fear in a TED talk in which a sperm whale capsized the whaleship Essex in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. All the sailors on the ship were faced the three choices to survive. One was sailing to the closest island with a harrowing story about cannibals; another one was heading to Hawaii but could be battered by storms; The last one is the longest destination that went straight to the South America with the threat of starving to death. As Karen described, fear is just like storytelling; it can form a vivid picture in people's imagination. Those sailors were much more scared by the imaginary cannibals and unpredictable storms than by an actual threat—lacking food and water. They chose the longest route, and unfortunately, only half of the sailors survived. Charles mentions that “Fear stifles our thinking and actions,” which explained why the sailors made a decision that lost their lives.

The Role of Government
As early as Sumer established their first urban civilization of human’s history in Mesopotamia, a region of modern southern Iraq, a vague government body was constituted in order to divide labor force into different types of work and distribute results of labor relatively. Rousseau mentioned in The Social Contract in 1762 that human beings were willing to be governed because government provided protection, justice; and when the government exceeds the boundaries set in place by the people, it is the mission of the people to abolish such government, and establish anew. In modern society, government is more complicated because of the population and globalization; but the role of governing party are persistent that bring the justice and create benefits to their people in which two area are essential: constitution and education.
Government should always uphold the authority of the constitution and laws for justice because it helps create a safe environment for people to live. As we know that constitution and laws attempt to enforce fairness and equality, and provide a system for punishing those who violate it. Without justice, there would be nothing to stop wrong doings from happening and nothing to prevent as well as punish people for doing things against what has been established as good for society. Justice is important because it places a standard of good over all citizens which aims to support society to the right direction; in contrast, regimes in the history who violated justice were collapsed and brought disasters to their people.
In addition to uphold the justice, the role of government should also create essential benefit such as a concrete education system to their people. A stable and democratic society is impossible without widespread acceptance of social values and without knowledge, thus education plays an important role on modern society and contributes to both goals of values and knowledge. Chinese government has provided free 12 years general education aimed to develop the foundation of country and succeed in helping technology innovation and economic development in recently three decades. Moreover, higher education such as colleges and universities are spots where students learn formal advanced knowledge that would advantage their critical thinking and professional life. U.S. has most developed higher education system around the world, provided advantages to the technology industries.
