<p>This is my topic.</p>
<p>Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.</p>
<p>Assignment: Do people fear change, or do they embrace it?</p>
<pre><code>Throughout the history of mankind, human beings have experienced numerous changes; some might be rather bigger than others while some are rather smaller so that people did not even realize the effects. Either in good or bad ways-or sometimes neither-, changes have affected humans. Humans can never guess whether changes would turn into friends or foes. They always fear the changes.
First, what changes bring is uncertain and unknown. If a person encounters a new and different surrounding, he/she would fear until he/she adjusts himself/herself to the new environment. In my case, I was an exchange student last year and I had to come to US by myself. I had have never been to US nor I had somebody who I know here. I had no clue what I would see or experience. Changes in my surrounding, including my family and friends, made me worry and fear about the future and what it holds.
Also, in humans history, people are always afraid of the usurpation of throne or change of power, especially change of their ruler. When a ruler has been changed-in most cases a more powerful person had got the power of a country-, the people are fearful due to the chances of societal upheaval. Changes can satisfy some people, but they can upset the others. When most people dislike the changes and their effects, those emotions lead to rebellion. This is also epitomized in French history-king Loius XIV and Marie Antoinette and French Revolution. When the king Louis XIV succeeded his grandfather and the royal court changed into an epitome of lavishness, French people fear the changes the new court brought. And they were right; the consequential shortage of food led them to rebel. The French Revolution does represent a reason for people to be afraid of changes.
Sometimes, changes benefit people after all. However, when people get to the point that they actually deal with a change, they fear because they are not sure about its effects; those can bring good effects like my case-I decided to go colleges in US even- or bad effects like French Revolution. Therefore, people could not help themselves but being afraid of the changes.
