“After long periods of error, philosophers have at last discovered the true rights of man and how they can all be deduced from t

he single truth: that man is a perceptive being capable of reason and acquiring moral ideas.
At last, man could proclaim his rights out loud, rights that for so long had been ignored. He could submit all opinions to his own reason and use that reason to search for truth. Every man learned with pride that nature had not forever condemned him to base his beliefs on the opinions of others or the superstitions of antiquity.

Thus developed an understanding that the natural rights of man are inalienable and cannot be forfeited and a strongly expressed desire for freedom of thought, trade, and profession. There also developed a desire to alleviate people's suffering, to eliminate all criminal laws against political dissenters, and to abolish torture. A desire arose for a milder system of criminal legislation that could give complete security to the innocent. All of these principles gradually filtered down from philosophical works to every class of society whose education went beyond basic literacy. These principles became the common faith of all people.”

Answer:     They will run away and feel fear / emotion as a reaction to their bodily physiological changes

Explanation:  According to the James  Lange theory, for someone to feel an emotion, in this case an emotion of fear, one must first experience the physiological changes that can be accelerated heartbeat, rapid and deep  breathing and the like, which are caused by an outward appearance  say a danger such as a bear in this case, watching a horror file etc. In doing so, emotion is the equivalent to a physiologically experience, which again depends on the external danger or occurrence in question.
