If you don't feel safe and secure in your [[environment]], it is very difficult to focus on finding [[love]], [[educational]] advancement, or [[Aesthetics\|artistic]] pursuits. Creating a [[society]] where crime and [[grift]] are minimized, and there is the perception of equal [[justice]], is a [[necessary prerequisite]] for a [[culture]] that allows most people to experience the more sublime layers of [[wikipedia:Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs\|Maslow]].

	[[wikipedia:Negativity_bias\|Negativity bias]] in the [[media]] has caused many people to perceive our [[society]] as becoming less safe, even as every [[meterstick]] shows it becoming more safe. Crime is at [[historically]] low levels, but fear and anxiety are at an all-time high. This has led to a [[feedback loop]] where people retreat into the safety of their homes and familiar places, spend less time venturing out into the world, so that even more of their [[information]] comes from [[outrage]]-fueled [[media]]. This causes the world to close in on them, trapping them in a [[mental]] cage of their own fear and anxiety.
