CULTURE OF FEAR IN AMERICA

It's not easy to talk about this because for me is very difficult to understand WHY???... I'm having a hard time, but I'm sure that I'm going to be capable of answering this question. If you want to understand more about what I'm talking about you can find this youtube video very interesting. It's a cartoon from the movie Bowling for Columbine!!!

  1. Hmm this is an interesting video for sure. Interesting summary to drive home a point. Part of me feels that this video is a bit unfair - it is the producer's own idea of history.

    As for the culture of fear, I guess it's more pervasive than many people think. Fear can serve as a massive motivator, whether for good of bad reasons.

    This makes me think of one of my favorite quotes of all time, when John F. Kennedy said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

  2. George: That wasn't John F. Kennedy. That was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
