A: A society can be driven either hope or fear. Hope for the future can make people work hard and push themselves. Fear can make people work harder than they ever knew.]]> 2017-12-04 16:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952804 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952806 Hope and fear drive human behavior because it has evolutionary advantages. If one of the earliest humans feared a certain plant, animal, or environment they wouldn't dare go near it. If they had hope for getting to a better environment, finding more food, or carrying on their lineage it would drive them to do anything to complete the task.]]> 2017-12-04 16:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952806 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952816 If you have more fear than hope in your life you will become defensive, introverted and miserable. Because you live your live afraid of everything you will stop trying to do new things and grow as a person, instead you will get stuck in a "rut" and not move forward with life. You will also become sad as you're constantly bracing for the worst, so even when something good happens all you see is the bad yet to come.]]> 2017-12-04 16:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952816 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952818 Hope and fear drive human behavior because these emotions have an influence on the way people act. When people have more hope then fear that gives them a positive behavior to keep going. If they have more fear than hope,]]> 2017-12-04 16:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952818 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952824 Hope and fear drive human behavior for better or worse. For instance, if someone has hope in something then they are more likely to succeed at what they are doing. Like if they have hope that they will get out of a life threatening situation they will be more likely to persevere. Fear can drive human behavior as well like if they fear a certain group of people they may act irrationally to those people.]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952824 1022843 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952828 One's quality of life can be dramatically effected by hope or fear. More fear can deteriorate someones quality of life because it might cause sadness or depression. Hope can drive someone beyond themselves and improve their quality of life by enlightening them or getting rid of sadness or depression. Hope and fear can change someones quality of life dramatically.

If someone is fearful, such as Ishmael when he was traveling alone, then they could have the drive to keep going and to try and not have that fear catch up to them. If someone is hopeful the same explanation can apply. When Ishmael heard of his family being in the next town, he became very hopeful to see them, making him restless. His hope drove him forward to try and see his family as fast as he could.]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952835 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952846 Hope and fear drive human behavior based on their situation and how much hope/fear they're feeling at the moment.These emotions can make you do actions you don't want to or did not think too.Fear impacts you by for example being chased by a tiger fear will help you by giving you adrenaline, and fear which motivates you to escape.

Both hope and fear can falsely motivate thoughts and actions, even though the word hope seems to be positive and uplifting, having too much hope or having false hope can often lead to disappointment. In the same way, fear can motivate good things, even though the word draws negative and harmful thoughts. Fear can give that last little push to do what is right or "go big or go home" in a sense. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952847 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952848 Hope and fear drive human behavior because they are the two strongest emotions and lead you to preform actions, sometimes irrationally. Having more hope than fear can lead you to live a more optimistic life and can lead you to do things you wouldn't have done if you were just afraid, like rebelling. If you didn't have some hope that it would succeed, few people would actually join. More fear than hope can make people live scared and result in a lot of negative thoughts. If someone had more fear than hope, they wouldn't be living up to themselves and reaching their full potential because they would always be afraid of something. Hope and fear can impact someone's life in the sense that hope can make people live in better mental health while fear leads to sadness, stress, and depression.]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952848 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952849 Hope and fear drive human behavior because those emotions are very influential on the mind of an individual. When you have more hope than fear you lead a happier life and have more faith in the things and people that surround you. If you have more fear than hope it drives you into a timid life where you're scared to do things that might harm yourself or others, even simple tasks like telling the truth. The amount of hope and fear you have in your life affects your emotional standpoint because of how influential it is on the human mind (as I stated earlier). You're quality of life depends on how you see the world, through fear, or with hopefulness that the world will change for the better. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952849 3862685373 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952868 Hope and fear influence human behavior by giving people something to work towards, or to work against. For example people run away from a deadly animal, because they have a fear of dying, or a hope of surviving.]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952868 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952882 Hope and fear drive human behavior by keeping you going or telling you when enough is enough. Everyone has experienced both hope and fear, and if you experience them then they have affected some decisions in your life. It is impossible for every decision that a human makes to be based on logic. Both when you have more hope than fear, or more fear than hope, your decisions will be skewed one way or another. These two emotions barely leave room for a safe decision it seems. If you have more hope in your life you will be optimistic and happier. With fear you will be more stressed.  ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952882 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952905 If a person has more hope than fear, then they will stay more optimistic throughout tough situations and most likely be able to get through it successfully than a person who has more fear. I think hope and fear drive human behavior, because one's thoughts and feelings, like anger or optimism, usually block their mind and cause them to either regret their actions or endorse them. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952905 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952911 Hope and fear drives human behavior because these are some of the strongest emotions that influence your decisions.  If a person has more hope than fear, they are more likely to be optimistic about their situation and would be able to rationally think out their situation.  If one has more fear than hope, they will likely enter a fight-or-flight situation where they will try to escape, fight, or become pessimistic about the situation. Having a healthy balance of fear and hope improves the quality of one's life. Too much hope can prevent someone from thinking of negative outcomes, and too much fear could drive someone to experience too much stress.]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212952911 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212953002 Hope and fear drive human's when they are desperate or in need of something.

More hope will make you work harder morally, while fear will make you work harder physically and mentally ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212953061 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212953062 As you as a human being look back at your life, you will be able to see the type of actions that you or others have made due to hope and fear. The difference made when taking action is the amount of hope and fear you have compared to each other. For example, if you have more hope than fear, you are most likely going to take action on whatever it is you have on your mind. Hope will overrule fear which in turn makes you feel more confident that it will work out. When you switch it and you have more fear than hope, you are most likely not going to take that action into play. In your mind, the outcome that you fear of will stay in your mind and it will be much harder to have enough courage to do that action. This will affect many people's lives due to the actions that they will decide to make or not to make. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212953062 https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/ss6qcwavf6zx/wish/212953093 Hope and fear drive human behavior because it causing a reaction is a person's body that allows them to do something that they might not have been able to do before. If you have more hope then fear you look for a better outcome and you are able to enjoy the successes. If you have more fear then hope you are have a drive that could lead to negative results. Everyone should a certain amount of fear and hope in their life because if you always cheerful about something you don't the full quality of life because yes you are supposed to live life happy, but there is always going to be things that knock you down.
