And when you explore the roots of that fear you find that they are rooted in concerns about scarcity. Fears that undermine our collective ability to create a fair and hospitable social contract. Fearing that jobs and opportunities are scarce we fret about immigration, fearing that the immigrant will take a job or opportunity away from us. Fearing that money is scarce we fret about wasteful government spending, especially spending upon those we consider to be undeserving. And fearing that safety is scarce we demand that walls be built along our borders and that our military police the entire world for threats. Just turn on cable TV and you’ll see the whole dynamic play out on a nightly basis. Fears rooted in a culture of scarcity undermine our ability to love each other.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Richard Beck" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/richard-beck/we-know-that-america-is-a-culture-driven-by-fear-and-when-you-explore/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34d/richard-beck-30391_ability-to-love_we-know-that-america-is-a-culture-driven_3201098.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34d/richard-beck-30391_ability-to-love_we-know-that-america-is-a-culture-driven_3201098.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34d/richard-beck-30391_ability-to-love_we-know-that-america-is-a-culture-driven_3201098.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“we know that America is a culture driven by fear.
