FEAR AND EDUCATION
Abstract
This paper is not about using fear as an educational tool. Rather it explains the existence of collective obedience in societies and clarifies the reasons behind this obedience along with political unrest, chaos happening here and there throughout history up until now. Leading further, author elucidates that compliance either occurs out of fear of punishment or willingly, for societies have been educated or programmed to do so.
