恐惧笼罩着美国社会。人们把它嵌入到他们所做的几乎所有事情中。恐惧限制了人们的决策过程。恐惧使人们看不到解决办法。它需要一个行动计划，只解决恐惧，而不一定解决问题。它控制人们投票给谁、父母让孩子和谁一起玩以及立法机构通过哪些法律（Furedi，2002）。教育系统有助于为美国的恐惧奠定基础。学生们要经历一个每个人都生活在恐惧中的教育系统，从管理人员到教育工作者，再到学生。无论是害怕失去工作，学校关闭，考试不及格，还是不能正常排队，在当前的教育体系中，人们总是担心一些事情。在许多方面，学校的制度性恐惧是一种纪律权力的形式（Foucalt，1995）。管理人员和教育工作者非常害怕超越规范，他们通过将其强加给学生来使恐惧永久化。
Fear grips American society. People embed it in almost everything they do. Fear limits people’s decision-making process. Fear blinds people to solutions. It requires a plan of action that addresses only the fear and not necessarily the problem. It controls whom people vote for, whom parents let their children play with, and which laws legislatures pass (Furedi, 2002). The educational system contributes, and helps lay the foundation for fear in America. Students go through an educational system where everyone lives in fear, trickling down from the administrators, to the educators, and to the students. Whether it is fear of losing a job, schools closing, failing a test, or not lining up properly, there is a constant fear of something in the current educational system. In many ways, the institutional fear in schools is a form a disciplinary power (Foucalt, 1995). Administrators and educators are so fearful of stepping outside of the norm, that they perpetuate the fear by imposing it on students.
