It's a country that has always believed that the apocalypse is somehow just around the corner. But the level of fear that has developed in the United States &#8212; both on a smaller and larger scale &#8212; my God! You don't have to look very far to find it. Stores provide anti-bacterial wipes to protect their customers from germs on grocery carts. Parents obsessively coddle their children by driving them to school and picking them up each day. Fences surround playgrounds to prevent anything bad from happening. Alarms to protect classrooms from school shooters are ubiquitous. Hysteria is everywhere on the cable news channels.<\/p>\n<p>A study was released recently about the things Americans fear the most. It includes literally everything. Terrorism and identity theft. Corrupt companies and financial ruin. Tornadoes and adultery. There is an explanation for this. America is no longer winning wars. Other countries suddenly also have a lot of power. Everything has become insanely fast. And the fear of external threats can influence the psyche &#8212; there's no question about that.<\/p>\n<p>There's also a domestic dimension to this fear. Many Americans no longer trust their politicians or the elite. They no longer know what to believe in a situation where the macroeconomic indicators are trending positive but the amount of money that lands in their wallets is getting ever smaller. Many believe they have to take their fate in their own hands. And that can be exhausting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Country of Fear and Courage: What I Learned from Two Years in America &#8211; SPIEGEL ONLINE &#8211; International<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/international\/world\/what-two-years-of-living-in-america-taught-me-a-1165557.html\">https:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/international\/world\/what-two-years-of-living-in-america-taught-me-a-1165557.html<\/a><br \/>\nvia Instapaper<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"posthaven_gallery[1196555]\" class=\"posthaven-gallery\">\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Save<\/span><span>Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div>\"El miedo, por supuesto, no es nada nuevo en Estados Unidos. Es un pa\u00eds que siempre ha cre\u00eddo que el apocalipsis est\u00e1 de alg\u00fan modo a la vuelta de la esquina. Pero el nivel de miedo que se ha desarrollado en Estados Unidos -tanto a peque\u00f1a como a gran escala- \u00a1Dios m\u00edo! No hay que buscar muy lejos para encontrarlo. Las tiendas ofrecen toallitas antibacterianas para proteger a sus clientes de los g\u00e9rmenes en los carritos de la compra. Los padres miman obsesivamente a sus hijos llev\u00e1ndolos al colegio y recogi\u00e9ndolos cada d\u00eda. Las vallas rodean los patios de recreo para evitar que ocurra algo malo. Las alarmas para proteger las aulas de los tiradores son omnipresentes. La histeria est\u00e1 en todas partes en los canales de noticias por cable.<\/p>\n<p>Hace poco se public\u00f3 un estudio sobre las cosas que m\u00e1s temen los estadounidenses. Incluye literalmente de todo. Terrorismo y robo de identidad. Empresas corruptas y ruina financiera. Tornados y adulterio. Esto tiene una explicaci\u00f3n. Estados Unidos ya no gana guerras. De repente, otros pa\u00edses tambi\u00e9n tienen mucho poder. Todo se ha vuelto locamente r\u00e1pido. Y el miedo a las amenazas externas puede influir en la psique, de eso no hay duda.<\/p>\n<p>Este temor tiene tambi\u00e9n una dimensi\u00f3n interna. Muchos estadounidenses ya no conf\u00edan en sus pol\u00edticos ni en la \u00e9lite. Ya no saben qu\u00e9 creer en una situaci\u00f3n en la que los indicadores macroecon\u00f3micos tienden a ser positivos, pero la cantidad de dinero que llega a sus carteras es cada vez menor. Muchos creen que tienen que tomar su destino en sus propias manos.
