Motviation/Fear.. (Alecia)

Is fear a good motivator?  In other words, can you “make” someone do something by instilling FEAR in them?  Why/why not?

Fear is definitely a good motivator. It may not be the best way to go about things or it may not be right. In my opinion fear is only good for certain situations. Because nowadays people are very hard headed, and you’d be lucky if you give people any fear at all. There is always a way to go about things though. For instance, don’t over exceed what you do to that person. Like don’t scare them the wrong way. You don’t have to be immature about it either. My dad scares me. When he thinks I’m doing something wrong, he installs fear in me so I go the right way. Do the right thing. Honestly I don’t think installing fear is something people do purposely, I believe it’s a natural human characteristic. People get scared by people just by the way they act. A trait they have, or the personality they lay down. That’s why I say its natural. Some people may not think its right, and I can understand why they would believe that. Probably because the feeling of fear isn’t too good. Because who would want to make someone scared of them? But nowadays, try getting to someone without fear. Persuasion maybe? But how would you persuade? Through fear. You would use fear to persuade someone. There are all different angles you can look at this. All I’m saying is that fear comes natural to humans. Giving fear especially.
