I think that America is "afraid" because of the media. When you watch the news, you see people getting killled, scams, health risks, maniacs running form the police, etc. Negativity and the misfortunes of others make good entertaining stories. Magazine ads and television commercials are designed to market to a specific audience and send a very well planned out message. They intentionally attack your beliefs telling you that you aren't attractive enough if you don't have this or you aren't masculine enough if you don't have one of these. Society is continuously put into a corner and told what to desire and fear. This snowballing effect is why America is "scared."
