My dog used to be afraid of thunder when he was younger. In order to combat this, I started taking him on walks when thunder was rolling in the distance. He has since gotten over it, and now he doesn't even mind fireworks during 4th of July.
My dog also used to be terrified of a giant exercise ball we have in the house. I started feeding him next to the ball, and now he is so used to it that he tries to play with it whenever I have it out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
