Freedom from fear is listed as a fundamental human right according to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948. On January 6, 1941, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it one of the "Four Freedoms" at his State of the Union, which was afterwards therefore referred to as the "Four Freedoms speech". These ideas of fear stem back to what people see as a threat to themselves which can range from terrorism to political tension. By acknowledging the current threats to a way of life there will be constant shifts to determine what warrants action. This can be seen through both traditional security and through the evolution of human security. By understanding fear in this context, there certainly would be opportunity to suppress and exacerbate the impacts on populations.
