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>\"O medo, claro, n\u00e3o \u00e9 nada de novo na Am\u00e9rica. \u00c9 um pa\u00eds que sempre acreditou que o apocalipse est\u00e1, de alguma forma, ao virar da esquina. Mas o n\u00edvel de medo que se desenvolveu nos Estados Unidos - tanto em pequena como em grande escala - meu Deus! N\u00e3o \u00e9 preciso ir muito longe para o encontrar. As lojas fornecem toalhetes anti-bacterianos para proteger os seus clientes dos germes nos carrinhos de supermercado. Os pais mimam obsessivamente os seus filhos, levando-os \u00e0 escola e indo busc\u00e1-los todos os dias. As veda\u00e7\u00f5es rodeiam os parques infantis para evitar que algo de mau aconte\u00e7a. Os alarmes para proteger as salas de aula de atiradores nas escolas s\u00e3o omnipresentes. A histeria est\u00e1 em todo o lado nos canais de not\u00edcias por cabo.<\/p>\n<p>Foi recentemente divulgado um estudo sobre as coisas que os americanos mais temem. Inclui literalmente tudo. Terrorismo e roubo de identidade. Empresas corruptas e ru\u00edna financeira. Tornados e adult\u00e9rio. H\u00e1 uma explica\u00e7\u00e3o para este facto. Os Estados Unidos j\u00e1 n\u00e3o est\u00e3o a ganhar guerras. De repente, outros pa\u00edses tamb\u00e9m t\u00eam muito poder. Tudo se tornou insanamente r\u00e1pido. E o medo de amea\u00e7as externas pode influenciar a psique - n\u00e3o h\u00e1 d\u00favida sobre isso.<\/p>\n<p>Este medo tem tamb\u00e9m uma dimens\u00e3o interna. Muitos americanos j\u00e1 n\u00e3o confiam nos seus pol\u00edticos ou na elite. J\u00e1 n\u00e3o sabem em que acreditar, numa situa\u00e7\u00e3o em que os indicadores macroecon\u00f3micos t\u00eam uma tend\u00eancia positiva, mas em que a quantidade de dinheiro que lhes chega \u00e0s carteiras \u00e9 cada vez menor. Muitos acreditam que t\u00eam de tomar o seu destino nas suas pr\u00f3prias m\u00e3os.
