Understanding phobias


What is a phobia? A phobia is an excessive or unreasonable fear of a specific object or situation that is generally considered harmless. In fact, if you have a phobia, you probably realize that your fear is unreasonable, yet you still can’t control it. If you are exposed to the thing you’re afraid of, you become overwhelmed with extreme feelings of anxiety, fear, and even panic. This experience is so unpleasant that you will go to great lengths to avoid the object or situation you fear.

Of the different types of anxiety disorders, phobias are the most common. The American Psychiatric Association reports that each year, 7.8% of American adults suffer from a phobia. In fact, phobias are the most common psychological disorder among women and the second most common disorder among men over 25.

Based on estimates by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree. Estimates prepared by the World Meteorological Organization and the Climatic Research Unit concluded that 2005 was the second warmest year, behind 1998. Temperatures in 1998 were unusually warm because the strongest El-Nino Southern Oscillation in the past century occurred during that year.

In common usage, "global warming" often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) uses the term "climate change" for human-induced changes, and "climate variability" for natural changes. The term "climate change" includes not only measurements of temperature changes, but also changes in precipitation or wind patterns, lasting over an extended time period. The term "anthropogenic global warming" refers to global warming caused by human activity.

How and where man learnt how to produce flame at will is unknown. It was probably secondary invention, accidentally made during tool-making operations with wood or stone. Studies of primitive societies suggest that the earliest method of making fire was through friction. European peasants would insert a wooden drill in a round hole and rotate it briskly between their palms. This process could be speeded up by wrapping a cord around the drill and pulling on each end.
