THE FEAR FACTORY: THE MANUFACTURING OF A VIOLENT SOCIETY
THE FEAR FACTORY: THE MANUFACTURING OF A VIOLENT SOCIETY
Linda Steiner, Ph.D. in Applied Social Psychology
“The violence agenda relies on our continued fear, ignorance and indifference. But the fate of our future relies on our conscious awareness.”
Dr. Steiner wrote this excellent article after a day of listening to news reports and talk shows regarding the shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. As she states in her article:
“Perhaps the time has finally come for American citizens to start asking some critical questions. For example, isn’t it an ironic coincidence (synchronicity) that the latest mass murder just happened to fall on the very same day that the Senate Hearing on repealing the Stand Your Ground law was scheduled to meet – and was subsequently cancelled as a result of the massacre?”
