The world of “personal defense” seems to be ever expanding. Have you seen all of the advertisements on television and the internet? It’s a veritable smorgasbord !
There are descriptors of reasonable force training, mace pepper foam versus mace pepper spray and key chainsthat they attach to. stun guns, hidden cameras, and on and on and on…..
I wonder how much money is spent annually by companies that want to strike fear in the general population and reap the financial rewards of doing so. I wonder how much money could be made if advertising was geared to issues of mediation and reconciliation and general topics related to effective communication. Gees ! I also wonder if it’s not in our natures to need the psychic stimulation of danger or the perception thereof. What do you think ?
