Korku, which translates to "fear" in English, is an emotional response to perceived threats or danger. It can manifest in various forms, such as anxiety, panic, or phobias. Korku serves an important survival function, alerting individuals to potential harm and prompting them to take action to protect themselves. In psychology, Korku is studied to understand its effects on behavior and mental health. It can be triggered by real or imagined threats and can vary in intensity. Common examples of Korku include fear of heights, known as acrophobia, and fear of spiders, referred to as arachnophobia.
