What Do People Fear Most? Two different magazines, Country Living and EBONY/Jet did surveys on "WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?" The results were interesting, to say the least Country Living (99.99% white readership) magazine's top three answers were: 1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S. 2. /spouse dying/terminal illness. 3. Terminal illness/self. EBONY/Jet (99.99% black readership) magazine's top three answers were: 1. Ghosts. 2. Dogs. 3. Registered mail. Any comments? |

Perhaps it's a testament of the day that companies richly use demographics to differentiate their target audience to identify customers whereas an individual highlighting differences draws comment at the very least. But let me get this straight, the American white readership are: 1. Scared of their entire family being annihilated. 2. Scared someone in their family being slightly less drastically annihilated. 3. Scared that they, themselves might be similarly less drastically annihilated. Death comes to us all. Personally, as a white male living in the country in England, I'd rather worry about ghosts, dogs and registered mail as at least 2 out of 3 are somewhere within the world of the living and not just about me me me.

Rejoice, I don't read much. According to Socrates, writing was a bad thing because it destroyed the art of conversation. I prefer conversations to reading. Cuddles

The black are thinking on the immediate scale and white people on a more wide scale. Yes and I'm not really white, I'm pink. If Blacks think on an immediate scale does that mean they don't have a real world view, only of their immediate surroundings? Why dogs and not cats? Why ghosts? And registered letters? Wow, wonder why that is? Eviction notice from their apartments?

Black and white are yin and yang.

Does it really matter? Did I tell you I'm white and not really brown or yellow? Cuddles

Not really, I know some in the Eboncy categoy can't read so can only look at pictures. Cuddles

What an interesting difference in fears! It's kind of funny how different people feel towards different situations. My only fear really, would be a terminal illness/death of a loved one. Do you have any fears, Vicky?
