Page "Fear" Paragraph 23

M. Korstanje argues that the fear may be politically and culturally manipulated to dissuade citizenry about the implementation of market-oriented policies, otherwise would be widely rejected.

In contexts of disasters, nation-states manage the fear not only to provide their citizens with an explanation about the event or blaming some minorities, but also to adjust their previous beliefs.

The manipulation of fear is done by means of symbolic instruments as terror movies and the administration ideologies that lead to nationalism.

After a disaster, the fear is re-channeled in a climate of euphoria based on patriotism.

The fear and evilness are inextricably intertwined.
