Well, it depends on where you live. These results aren't particularly surprising, but they reveal how much people's experience at home affects their perception of threat. AIDS and other diseases, for example, are seen as the greatest threat in Africa, where these diseases kill the most people. Not so much in Europe or the United States, where inequality reigns.
very interesting! thanks for sharing
I'm surprised that the threat of nuclear weapons viewed as the top threat by such consist percentage around the world.
50 years of cold war will do that.
