What drives our perception of dangerous places? a) the media, sometimes putting too much emphasis on the bad news, not balancing them enough with positive data b) the stronger attention every one of us puts in news on criminality and dangers in foreign countries, rarely wondering how often these same facts happen in our own country. c) every person has his/her own comfort zone, depending on a countless number of factors. Most of the times, fear is irrational and has nothing to do with a country, the political and social situation.
