read the excerpt from sunil's personal narrative. when i first came to the united states from india, i was frustrated by the assumptions people made about me and my culture. people often think that because i'm from india, i am a hindu. i'm actually malayali, from kerala, and i'm muslim. and the day that a girl at school asked me if it felt weird not living in a longhouse anymore really took the cake. india is known for a lot of different architectural styles, and a longhouse isn't one of them! but the misunderstandings about who i am and where i am from are only the tip of the iceberg. as a person of color, i've been called a lot of names here by people on the street, in the grocery store, in school—practically everywhere—and their underlying message is this: you have no right to feel safe here.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
