Assignment: The Politics of Fear: Is it ethical?
"Anti-globalization rhetoric in Greece is predominantly articulated in terms of conspiracy theory, mistrust of other cultures and strong nationalist feelings" (Theodossopoulos & Kirtsoglou, 2009, p. 83). That was Greece nearly a decade ago.
Sound familiar in today's society? And it's not just here in the United States. Anti-immigrant sentiment, strong nationalist tendencies, and the stoking of fear among the citizenry are happening worldwide. Google "anti-immigrant sentiment" and you'll see populist movements from Australia to Germany.
