Today's society is focused on pushing away fear by telling itself “stay calm” and “everything will be fine”. Childhood is scary and adulthood is intimidating, however, instead of blaming fear, it is better to recognize its potential as a motivator. To teach we must scare and to do so it is important to know how to deal with fear in a positive way (Boudinot). For example, instead of seeing a certain situation one way, take a closer look and adjust your perspective. To conclude, fear should be used as an educational tool, as it helps guide society and prevents individuals from entering harmful situations. Furthermore, its use in fairy tales has proven to be a fundamental tool for educating society and increasing its level of judgment. And finally, through a simple change in perception, fear can help you lead a more productive and meaningful life
