Living in fear |
Are we a society
obsessed with risk and living in fear? Or are we just more sensibly
aware of threats than in the past? Have the post-9/11 terror
warnings created a fearful moment, where many assume that we
live in a dangerous, unknowable world? Or have they reassured
us that
governments are taking threats to our safety seriously? |
