For centuries, the human race has been divided by their differences. Men are killed because they look differently or believe different things. Differences between men have caused wars, and created new countries. The United States was founded by men who were discriminated against because of their differences. The Pilgrims uprooted their entire lives and traveled halfway across the world to gain freedom from persecution. Jealousy can be a very powerful feeling when held in the hands of the masses. Because of the confidence placed in the Foundationers by Hari Seldon that they would secede the original Galactic Empire, they original felt invincible. However, as time went on, the threat of the "mythical" Second Foundation, full of mind-readers, and emotion-controllers, the people of the Foundation became increasingly threatened by their lack of psychological power. This led to a jealousy and fear of the Second Foundation, instead of the companionship that Seldon had hoped for. In !

Second Foundation, by Isaac Asimov, fear leads to the near breakdown of an entire empire.

The breakdown in secrecy inside the Second Foundation almost cost the future of the Universe. The knowledge that the First Foundation gained spawned misplaced hatred and fear for the very men who sought to ensure the successful completion of the Seldon Plan. Throughout history, the fundamental fear of differences has cost men their homes, their freedom, and even their lives. There have been men, however, that had the insight to realize what was wrong with our world. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Was one of them. Because he was exposed to this fear of differences form his childhood, he knew that there was something wrong with the society in which he lived. Being of the hated race, he knew that the perceptions that whites had of him and his brethren was absolutely and utterly wrong. He was striving to demonstrate that all men are working for the same thing, and by fighting each other along the way are only holding back the accomplishments that all men are racing to complete. He f!

ought to teach the world this lesson through peaceful demonstrations and inspiring speeches, instead of through violence as most men would have done. The world should take a lesson from Dr. Martin Luther King, and men like him. It is not our differences that keep the human race apart. It is the perception of these differences by the uninformed that divide us. It is only through recognizing these differences that changes will be made. After all, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

these cases, the breakdown in secrecy has caused death and destruction. The Rosenbourgh scandal brought the United States to the brink of war, and Benedict Arnold almost kept us from becoming an independent country.
