The Crisis: No. 1...

Thomas paine wrote passages to motivate the soldiers. When he said, "Panic can produce as much good as hurt" he was talking about using Panic to motivate people. He proposed that people would want to be more involved if there was more panic. I definately agree with his statements. I feel like if there is struggle people will want to help. A perfect example of this that I can think of is just after 9/11. After the attacks, civilian support went sky-rocketing. There was panic about what was going to happen afterwards so people wanted to help.
