FEAR KNOWLEDGE & EDUCATION AUDIT (FKE Audit)         Finding Ethical Integrity in Fear (Management) Education                 R. Michael Fisher, Ph.D. Who is this for? – any group, nation, organization, family, couple, or individual, who believes that it is important to teach about fear in the most informed manner possible, that is, with the best fear knowledge and education (not propaganda). What is it? - The FKE Audit was created by R. Michael Fisher Ph.D., fearologist, to provide an effective and efficient assessment of the strengths and weakness of the current ways you approach the topic of fear. He provides recommendations from the FKE Audit and follow-up support services to meet the challenges you face and the recommendations you wish to prioritize for change. FKE Audit (Some basic questions asked): how do you use the concept “fear” in your work, teaching, personal life? how do you teach the concept of fear and what theory is this based on? what theories of fear do you reject (and why?), or do you neglect (and why?) how do you assess your fear knowledge and education (what criteria?) and how do you critically evaluate the criteria itself? what makes you think your way of dealing with fear is best? or, is inadequate? have others critiqued your way of conceptualizing, teaching, or dealing with fear? If so, how have you reacted? have you considered re-evaluating fear and how to best teach about it since the 9/11 tragedy and the “War on Terror(ism)”? have you a theoretically justified theory of domination, conflict, fear, and violence that are intimately linked in a holistic model? What I have found in my research is that groups, organizations, families, or individuals operate around the topic of fear along a developmental continuum from: Why Not Focus on Courage, Instead of Fear? – there is a lot of years of research and experience behind this choice. Mostly, it is because I have recognized in the evolution of humankind that 10 fear management systems occur in a developmental spiral. Courage/Bravery (Level 6a) is only one, albeit a major one, of the fear management systems. Beyond level 6a are levels 6b, 7, 8, and 9 in how to better conceptualize and work with fear. “Fearless” is also a very important term in the FKE Audit. The FKE Audit works with helping to determine the level(s) of fear management systems (or security systems) that are employed by groups, nations, organizations, families, couples, or individuals. Each FKE Audit has universal elements as well as customized aspects that are meant to match your particular local characteristics and needs. The FKE Audit is adaptable to be offered onsite, as well as offsite, or various combinations to suit budgets and technologies available. [The Conflict Knowledge and Education Audit (CKE) is also available—and it is recommended, when possible to combine the FKE and CKE because of their close interrelationships, especially in regard to how we deal with violence and injustice] For more information on these Audits contact Michael.
