The Outline Oh my lanta that took forever. In class the teacher was like, "It is easy." Psh with a capital P. Took me forever to get this done but I guess the Cardinals were on TV tonight so that didn't really help (Which they won). In this outline you'll find possible examples I'll use in my paper and the overall structure of my paper. Terrorism will be a huge example. Dang everyone is freaking out about terrorism. The people who have to worry about terrorism are the ones right in the thick of all that mess called the Middle East. Also the starting points of hysteria are in this outline. Outline Template I.  Introduction A.  The Salem Witch Trials are some of the most famous cases of hysteria. 1.  The trials led to more the 150 arrests. 2.  They led to 19 deaths. 3.  Most of the defendants in the trials were treated unfairly. B.  Because of hysteria, Americans should know the causes of hysteria, what it can lead to, and how to overcome it so they can avoid the disasters it brings. II. Body A.  Knowing the cause of hysteria can help people prevent hysteria. 1.  Moral Panic begins hysteria. Moral Panic is when one group of people feels that another group of people threatens society. a.  The colonial societies felt that the young ladies threatened their society with witch craft. b.  An example from today is most people feel that the Muslims threaten the American society with terrorism. 2.  Hysterical Contagion is how hysteria is spread. 3.  The mass hysteria is the final stage. This is when people have excess fear or emotion over an issue. a.  This was evident over the witch trials when the trials went unfairly and they hung the witches. b.  Today the American people have excess amount of fear over terrorism because of the war and September 11. B.  The things hysteria brings can be very devastating. 1.  Hysteria can lead to wrongful deaths. a.  The witchcraft trials had 19 wrongful deaths. b.  Hitler’s hysteria that Jews caused Germany’s downfall lead to 6 million wrongful deaths. 2.  Hysteria can lead to money problems. a.  In the 1930’s many people were scared the banks were going to go down and that they were going to lose their money which lead to massive withdrawals. That was one of the reasons the economy went south. b.  The economy issues of today have lead to rash government 825 billion dollar stimulus package. 3.  Hysteria can lead to psychological issues. C.  People need to learn the truth about their hysterias or how to overcome them. 1.  Terrorism is the number 1 hysteria in the U.S.  a.   U.S. citizens are 22,000 times more likely to die in a car crash than a terrorist attack. b.  People also need to see if the news they receive about terrorism has a biased slant to it. 2.  The economy needs to be looked at logically. a.  Americans need to learn how to spend better and make better home buyers decisions. b.  Americans need to realize that in a capitalist economy the market will have its natural ups and downs and that sometimes the best solution is to spend smart and ride the storm out. 3.  Global warming is another issue of hysteria that has people in a raucous. a.  The earth has natural cleansing periods to repair itself. This may lead to an ice age or a heating up process. b.  The people need to be more environmentally friendly with methods like recycling and forest conservation. III. Conclusion B.  “To dream anything that you want to dream. That’s the beauty of the human mind. To do anything you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”-Bernard Edmonds a.  Bernard Edmonds says it best, To solve the problems of hysteria the people must have an open mind, a strong will to achieve, and be ready to test the limits.
 * A.  ****The hysterias of the American people can be solved by identifying the cause, knowing the damages, or just finding a solution.**
