What it is: Taught fear is something that is neither passed on to us through instinct nor earned through an experience. It is taught to us by our friends and family and is one of the leading factors towards our development in our values and beliefs.
Examples: Homophobia, racism, religious beliefs.
Case Study: Having grandparents who grew up in a time when racism was acceptable, passing it on to their children (your parents) who then pass it on to you.
