The Political Economy of Fear Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince
, 1513
All animals experience fear human beings, perhaps, most of all. Any animal incapable of fear would have been hard pressed to survive, regardless of its size, speed, or other attributes. Fear alerts us to dangers that threaten our well-being and sometimes our very lives. Sensing fear, we respond by running away, by hiding, or by preparing to ward off the danger.
To disregard fear is to place ourselves in possibly mortal jeopardy. Even the man who acts heroically on the battlefield, if he is honest, admits that he is scared. To tell people not to be afraid is to give them advice that they cannot take. Our evolved physiological makeup disposes us to fear all sorts of actual and potential threats, even those that exist only in our imagination.

“In elementary school, when I was learning about maps, I did not enjoy the classes at all. And often because it was focused on people like Christopher Columbus or other Eurocentric travelers who ‘discovered’ places,” said LaToya Gray Sparks.
Sparks is a graduate student at the Virginia Commonwealth University, studying urban and regional planning. Her work focuses on historical and cultural preservation as it pertains to the African-American community.
“I love mapping, so that s what I do a lot in my spare time,” she said.
