Fear as Control [Farhan Rahman]

Fear as Control is a very big part of the society of which little brother takes place in. Many things contribute to this throughout the book, the use of pure fear to control someone's mind and actions. using fear to control somebody can vary depending on the situation such as having access to something dear to the target, then blackmailing them giving them the fear of their secrecy being released to the public, this way you can mend their minds to your very will, and make them do as you wish because you have your own control of what you decide to do with the target's information. This is also known as Blackmailing which is illegal, but however it is a method of fear as control.

Another way for this to be enabled is to exert terror upon the people you wish to control, as demonstrated within the book in chapter 4, also for the next following chapters the government are hunting the terrorists, and basically force people to search for them by using the fear of terrorists upon them. Fear as control is no bad deed whatsoever, when using this to control people you are only using people's frights against them so they will follow anything to avoid their fear. An example of this would be to imagining if you were greatly afraid of a species, such as Rhinoceros beetles, and if an announced certain deed was not taking action this species would massively over produce. Of course you would want to prevent this since you are highly afraid of these beetles, therefor you are being controlled by your own fears.
