Fear conditioning is accomplished by pairing a neutral stimulus (such as a sound or a picture) with an aversive stimulus (such as a mild shock or a loud noise). Over time, the neutral stimulus becomes associated with the aversive stimulus, leading to a fear response when the neutral stimulus is presented alone. This type of associative learning is often used in behavioral psychology research to study fear and anxiety.
Classical conditioning can be used to alleviate fear by using the exposure technique. When the subject is repeatedly exposed to the fearful stimulus with no negative effects, fear is lessened over time.

There are various types of fear including phobias, anxiety disorders, and traumatic fears. The study of fear is called "fear conditioning" and involves examining how fear responses are acquired, maintained, and extinguished in different contexts. Researchers use techniques like classical conditioning, brain imaging, and behavioral experiments to understand the underlying mechanisms of fear.
A response that is not the result of classical conditioning would be a reflexive or innate response, such as blinking when a foreign object approaches the eye. These responses do not require prior conditioning to occur.
Classical conditioning can be used to alleviate fear by using the exposure technique. When the subject is repeatedly exposed to the fearful stimulus with no negative effects, fear is lessened over time.
You can try conditioning yourself, but it's not really something you can control... fear is natural. A lack of fear is a sign of a psychopath or sociopath.
Fear, ignorance, and cultural conditioning--
Classical Conditioning in Everyday LifeOne of the great things about conditioning is that we can see it all around us. Here are some examples of classical conditioning that you may see:1. Conditioned Fear & Anxiety - many phobias that people experience are the results of conditioning.For Example - "fear of bridges" - fear of bridges can develop from many different sources. For example, while a child rides in a car over a dilapidated bridge, his father makes jokes about the bridge collapsing and all of them falling into the river below. The father finds this funny and so decides to do it whenever they cross the bridge. Years later, the child has grown up and now is afraid to drive over any bridge. In this case, the fear of one bridge generalized to all bridges which now evoke fear.2. Advertising - modern advertising strategies evolved from John Watson's use of conditioning. The approach is to link an attractive US with a CS (the product being sold) so the consumer will feel positively toward the product just like they do with the US.US --> CS --> CR/URattractive person --> car --> pleasant emotional response
Since they are fictional characters I don't think the fear of unicorns is much of a problem.
Marketing relativism is a subtle and unintended result of cultural conditioning.
The inequalities did develop in society as a result of the selfish and greedy leaders.
