2. Introducción.
We were thinking that the opinion of people about a terror
movie might depend on the person’s age.
Therefore we make an investigation in the affect on the level of
fear on a person after a terror move.
To know more we research about 1Epinephrine.
We predict that the older people will be more vulnerable to fear
than a teenager.

stress.
