Sam Roberts in the article A Decade of Fear argues that McCarthyism turned Americans against each other. Roberts supports his claim by illustrating fear, describing betrayal, and comparing it to other United States internal conflicts.

The Other Wes Moore contains different viewings on two children's lives, they have the same name but not the same face.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear" reminds us that true courage is not a lack of fear, but rather the ability to overcome it.

“And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us.” In reference to the quote, look at how Graham Greene and S E Hinton’s presentation of fear is shown to the characters in the novels ‘Brighton Rock’ and ‘The Outsiders’ and to us as the readers.
