 Modern fears

As ous life has changed, comparing with life in the past, our fears have changed too. A risks of being injured in modern cities has increased, despite the advanced level of medicine.

Among all fears and phobias, Nomophobia (a fear of staying without a phone) is most spread. It may be caused by habit of constant communication with people, because we got used to be on call. 

Some phobias of 21-st century are related with wars. For example some people are afraid of atomic explosions, it calls atomosophobia. Nucleomituphobia - is a fear of nuclear weapons.

Also, there are a lot of illegal forces, which appears from time to time and break the law by doing terrorist acts, often with devastating consequences. So that the majority of people have fear of terrorism in their everyday life.

To my mind, all these fears are rational. If you know, that something terrible can happen to you , you will be scared about it. 

To sum up, I would like to say, that ordinary people have fears or phobias and in some, it is normal psychological fact, because everybody try to resist threatening events or situations, which we don't want to face in real life.
