Why Americans Exaggerate the Terrorist Threat, by Jeffrey Rosen. In this essay Rosen talks about how Americans are more afraid of crimes that are least likely to happen to them then ones that are more likely to happen to them. I agree with what Rosen says through out his essay. I do believe that Americans worry more about crimes and accidents that are less likely to happen to them. Also since 9/11 I think that that percent has highly increased. I feel that television has a lot to do with the way we think and worry about violence. Like with all the new movies and television shows that are coming out I think that it worry’s people. Especially women, no offence to women, but I think that they worry a little too much sometimes. For example my mother, so worry’s about everything so a little too much. She won’t ride on an airplane and she is always worried about getting in to a car accident. And my grandmother is locks every door in the house no matter what time of day it is. We leave in a town of about 30 people, and we know everyone. Those two watch a lot of shows like CSI, Criminal Content, and lifetime movies.
