AFRAID OF PEOPLE
Social anxiety is anxiety (emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension, or worry) about social situations, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by other people. The difference between Social Anxiety and normal apprehension of social situations is that social anxiety involves an intense feeling of fear in social situations and especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you will be watched or evaluated by others. The feeling of fear is so strong that in these types of situations you may be so worried that you feel anxious just thinking about them and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

NAKED CITIZENS
Increasing numbers of “terror suspects” are now being arrested on the basis of online and CCTV surveillance data. Authorities claim they act in the public interest, but does this intense surveillance keep us safer?

CHINA’S DIRTY SECRETS

GUNS, CULTURE AND CRIME IN THE U.S.
For the first time in years, US politicians are discussing serious gun control measures. But millions of people in the country’s inner cities live with the threat of gun violence on a daily basis.

America’s War Games

Culture in Decline: Baby Go Boom!

Sandy Hook Massacre: A Closer View on the 2nd Deadliest Mast Shooting in US History

Necar 4 is an electric car that runs using the most abundant form of energy on earth which is hydrogen. This means that as long as we have water, this type of car can be used. Iceland is one country that is currently in the process of adapting this technology. It’s the perfect cost-effective solution for a country that has abundant reserves of free-flowing water.

Welcome to Wall Street – the epicenter of financial power in America, perhaps the money capital of the world. The globally oriented financial firms, based in the New York stock exchange, have extraordinary influence on the politics and policies of this country.
