An antidote to the culture of fear that dominates modern life From moral panics about immigration and gun control to anxiety about terrorism and natural disasters, Americans live in a culture of fear. While fear is typically discussed in emotional or poetic terms—as the opposite of courage, or as an obstacle to be overcome—it nevertheless has very real consequences in everyday life. Persistent fear negatively effects individuals’ decision-making abilities and causes anxiety, depression, and poor physical health. Further, fear harms communities and society by corroding social trust and civic engagement. Yet politicians often effectively leverage fears to garner votes and companies routinely market unnecessary products that promise protection from imagined or exaggerated harms. Drawing on five years of data from the Chapman Survey of American Fears—which canvasses a random, national sample of adults about a broad range of fears—Fear Itself offers new insights into what people are afraid of and how fear affects their lives. The authors also draw on participant observation with Doomsday preppers and conspiracy theorists to provide fascinating narratives about subcultures of fear. Fear Itself is a novel, wide-ranging study of the social consequences of fear, ultimately suggesting that there is good reason to be afraid of fear itself.

My fellow Americans, America is in trouble and today is the time that we fix what is wrong with our beloved country. In WHY ARE AMERICANS SO AFRAID? you will find a comprehensive book, that delves into concerns that we as Americans have today. See, we have to change America, because there are far too many children committing murder and doing drugs, and you have government restricting parents from disciplining them for fear of losing their parental rights. You have politicians speaking indifference when it comes to Muslims and Syrian refugees. In WHY ARE AMERICANS SO AFRAID?, Raymoni Love purports that every American, and religions alike must commit themselves to world peace, without having science and technology erase the pith of what our Constitution stands for. America let us stand loudly and proudly together for peace, improved housing, educational facilities, equality and civil liberties. We are Americans, and no longer shall we be afraid to live free and coexist as Americans.

A fascinating and unnerving book, Afraid is a must-read that equips all Christians to recognize the devil's influence in our society and to act on it. Robert Bennett describes real events and actual confessions people have shared with him of demonic encounters-in America, in our modern age. Summoning demons, interacting with "ghosts" and holding séances led to what many may call horrifying hallucinations and even schizophrenia. But for many Americans, these things are their spirituality. How can we break free from the despair and crushing fear that such encounters can bring? How do we come to the aid of our neighbors who are lost in Satan's deceptions? Bennett points us to the only way out: God's grace and the medicines He gives to His people. Book jacket.

My fellow Americans, America is in trouble and today is the time that we fix what is wrong with our beloved country. We have politicians disagreeing on how to fix the national debt. You have republicans wanting to sacrifice social programs for the poor to finance their agenda, and you have democrats wanting to tax the rich, but willing to sacrifice senior's social security to get a balance budget. On the other hand, you have Tea Party advocates with their bias unrealistic views for America agenda, stirring the hate climate amongst Americans. American cannot survive if we continue to separate our moral concerns on protecting civil liberties, while creating jobs to help citizens put food on the table. In WHY ARE AMERICANS SO AFRAID? you will find a comprehensive revised book, that delve into concerns that we as Americans have today. See, we have to change America, because there are far too many children committing murder and doing drugs, and you have government restricting parents from disciplining them in fear of losing their parental rights. Republicans can blame President Barack Obama for jobs, and economy. However, the programs the President is working with today, was design years ago, to supplement technology, while decreasing the demand for human labor. In WHY ARE AMERICANS SO AFRAID?, Raymoni Love purports that every American, and religions alike must commit themselves to world peace, without having science and technology erase the pith of what our Constitution stands for. America let us stand loudly and proudly together for peace, improved housing, educational facilities, equality and civil liberties. We are Americans, and no longer shall we be afraid to live free and coexist as Americans. Together, our forefathers with limited resources built America to stay strong, and today, we carry their determination to make sure government understands that it is Americans that matter, not political views or indifference.

An award-winning historian argues that America's obsession with security imperils our democracy in this "compelling" portrait of cultural anxiety (Mary L. Dudziak, author of War Time). For the last sixty years, fear has seeped into every area of American life: Americans own more guns than citizens of any other country, sequester themselves in gated communities, and retreat from public spaces. And yet, crime rates have plummeted, making life in America safer than ever. Why, then, are Americans so afraid-and where does this fear lead to? In this remarkable work of social history, Elaine Tyler May demonstrates how our obsession with security has made citizens fear each other and distrust the government, making America less safe and less democratic. Fortress America charts the rise of a muscular national culture, undercutting the common good. Instead of a thriving democracy of engaged citizens, we have become a paranoid, bunkered, militarized, and divided vigilante nation.

In a stinging dissent to a 1961 Supreme Court decision that allowed the Illinois state bar to deny admission to prospective lawyers if they refused to answer political questions, Justice Hugo Black closed with the memorable line, "We must not be afraid to be free." Black saw the First Amendment as the foundation of American freedom - the guarantor of all other Constitutional rights. Yet since free speech is by nature unruly, people fear it. Consequently, the impulse to curb or limit it has been a constant danger throughout American history. In We Must Not Be Afraid to Be Free, two of America's leading free speech scholar-activists, Ron Collins and Sam Chaltain, provide an authoritative history of free speech in modern America. Each chapter is an engaging narrative account of a landmark First Amendment case that foregrounds the colorful people involved-judges, plaintiffs, attorneys, defendants-and the issue at stake. Cumulatively, the chapters provide a definitive account of how the First Amendment evolved over the course of a century. Tracing the development of free speech rights from a more restrictive era-the early twentieth century-through the Warren Court revolution of the 1960s and up to the current post 9/11 era of heightened security concerns, Collins and Chaltain not only cover the history of an ideal, but explain in accessible language how the law surrounding the ideal transformed. Essential for anyone interested in this most essential of rights, We Must Not Be Afraid to Be Free will be a standard work on free speech for years to come.
