fears that many people face, including natural disasters, airplane crashes, and terrorism.

natural disasters.For this discussion in 250 words:Research and Write: Think about a
common fear that is not mentioned in the chapter. This might be a fear of yours or of
someone you know. See if you can find data that exists about this fear. For example, if you
are afraid of a shark attack, search “rates of shark attacks on humans” or “How many people
are bitten by sharks each year?” Play with your search until you find a reliable source and
meaningful data. Discuss and explain your findings, your source, and whether or not this
data disputes or confirms this fear. If applicable, discuss how the media reports this
fear.Question: Pose a question to your classmates that you had when considering this
