Answers with Explanation:

1. In what ways do our fears prepare or fail to prepare us for future events?

"Fears" are a normal part of any person's life. It may influence our preparedness or failure of future events. One typical example is knowing that a long examination is upcoming. This is a common fear for many students. Students could either prepare for it in order to pass or be absent on the day of the examination (because of fear) and fail.

The first option can be very challenging but it shows how fear helps a person overcome such struggle. On the contrary, the second option shows how a person can immediately remove fear by not taking the exam at all. However, this leads to even more problems for him in the future.

2. How much do you agree with Walker's argument about the effects and the value of fear?

I totally agree with Karen Thompson Walker's argument about the effects and value of fear, especially when she compared it to the fear we feel with plane crashes and the buildup of plaque in arteries. It is important to have an insight on what our fear is actually about. In this way, we will be able to to carefully choose our decisions. We shouldn't respond to fear on what we think is a clear option, rather we should respond to it by looking at a bigger picture on how it is going to affect our lives in the future.

3. When might fear negatively impact a person's decisions?

I have already explained partly on the first number.

Fear may negatively impact a person's decisions if the person chooses the most obvious option without using his/her imagination.

Another example of this is "the fear in performing in front of a huge crowd." The obvious option here is "not to perform at all," however, performing would mean that the person will have the chance to experience how it feels to perform in front of the crowd and this could also help him overcome his fear. This could also give him the chance to be recognized by other people, especially when he's talented.
