It's not uncommon for people to wonder or worry about death at some point in their lives. After all, the only thing we can be sure of is that after birth, death comes naturally. Whether it's because you're sick, afraid of getting sick, or because you're looking after yourself for when you're no longer here, it's normal to think about your fate.
However, a minority of the population suffers from death anxiety, known as thanatophobia. This term is taken from the Greek thanatos means death, and Phobosmeans fear. This was first mentioned by Sigmund Freud in 1915, who thought it could be related to an “unconscious” belief in immortality. Feelings of separation, fear of dealing with loss, and intense worry about leaving behind a loved one can all cause extreme anxiety, especially when death seems inevitable and accelerated.
When fear is pervasive and affects daily life, it is appropriate to call it a phobia. Few young children need to think about death. They are too busy exploring, learning, and growing. However, I am shocked and saddened to learn that there are many children under the age of 7. teeth Very conscious and afraid of both their own death and the death of their closest relatives.
Once fear is embedded in the psyche, it often remains and becomes pervasive. Remember the slogan “Don't kill grandma”? When searching for peer-reviewed papers on the Internet, I struggle to find any mention of death anxiety in young children. A hitherto taboo subject almost seems to infect and attack the purest innocence that only young children can experience.
Over the course of many months, I have had the opportunity to speak with many prominent experts and experts. I had many long phone conversations with one doctor in particular, Dr. Christian Buckland, a Doctor of Psychology in Psychotherapy and Counseling (here is his interview in the UK column). We have tried to disseminate the “chain of information” that we receive and observe with our own eyes.
Observation is what we are trained to do. Our phone conversations are often very wide-ranging as we compare research and bounce ideas off each other. This is a rare synergy, especially since we have never met in person. When Christians first started talking about something, mass Death anxiety, I was very intrigued. Have we normalized the fear of death? I knew he was onto something, so we looked into it further and talked about it.

We want to 'spread' ideas for our readers to consider. The words that Christians came up with are “mass propagation'. You were the first to hear this word, and I have to give full credit to the Christians who came up with it, but this word is not a word that we see or experience in our daily lives. It applies well to what you do.
How does it work?
America Diagnostic Statistics Manual 5 (DSM5) The criteria for “phobia” (a term that includes fear of death) are as follows:
- Excessive worry or fear about death or dying interferes with daily life
(Examples of anxiety about death due to COVID-19: Is your life affected by ongoing anxiety about your own or your family's death due to the effects of COVID-19?) - To proactively avoid death or death-related situations
(An example of fear of dying from COVID-19: Did you feel safe from the risks to your health or that of your loved ones due to the forced lockdown? You are afraid to go outside because you are afraid to rely on the supermarket delivery service. Did you take supplies, drop them off at your neighbor's doorstep, and then back away?) - I feel intense anxiety when I think about death or dying.
(Examples of concerns about death due to COVID-19: Have you always worried about the possibility of passing something on to one of your elderly or vulnerable loved ones? Have you written a will? Have you organized your surroundings just in case? Are you afraid of getting sick? Were you worried about yourself or your loved one dying alone without friends or family?)
The relentless and unethical fear campaign we have been subjected to since 2020 has seriously attacked the mental health of many people, leaving them unhealthyly obsessed with avoiding death. I am. We know that living in a constant state of fear not only affects your mental health, but also damages your immune system and contributes significantly to physical health problems.
So did the fear campaign actually cause a portion of the population to die prematurely due to fear of death? How could this have happened? And why was this allowed to happen?
With so many issues to consider, Christian and I were led to the question “What is propaganda?” Where did this word originate, and how have governments and corporations changed its meaning to suit their own narratives and to the detriment of all of us? What words or phrases do you use to spread fear or fear of death?
Christian and I call it “death stress.” Will these three word worry phrases we know so well actually mean our death? 'Stay at home', 'Protect the NHS', 'Protect your hands, face and space' ” and “Don’t kill grandma.”
Any attempt to plan, control, attempt, or influence people towards an idea or action is propaganda.

A term (not a concept) derived from the Vatican, Advertisement At first it was used to mean “to spread the faith.” However, in the 20th and 21st centuries, its meaning has been interpreted as “misinformation'' or “disinformation,'' which is said to be mostly from unreliable sources, or viewed as questionable. It has changed to something that people are encouraged to do. But who defines what is an “unreliable source”? Instilling ideas, manipulating, coercing, or encouraging others to behave in a certain way is It could be called “persuasion” or even “nudge.” When is a “nudge” dangerous or malicious?
We all have the ability to “propagate.” Don't the majority of us who still have the ability to think critically do it every day with as many people as possible? When we, those of us who can see beyond a story, carefully and gently drop an idea into someone that we hope might make them want to know more, we might call it “sowing.”
This is not malicious propaganda If it is true, there is evidence and it was given in good faith.. But those who control this narrative, along with their appointed experts, deliberately go out of their way to disproportionately scare, frighten, and terrorize large swaths of the population. Locking down an entire country is a big deal, and terrorizing your own people for no reason is unprecedented.
The word “propagate” may bring to mind gardens and horticulture. That would be the right thing to do. Earliest Latin meaning of the verb spread is to do Grafting or planting cuttings or shootsto grow. Similarities between derivatives Advertisement (gerund) and propagation (noun) is no coincidence.
Advertisement itself Revamped, renamed and disguised. Now governments call it “public affairs” or “strategic communications” or perhaps even “behavioral science.” The inventor of the term “public relations”, Edward Bernays (son of Anna Freud, sister of Sigmund Freud), believed that the term “propaganda” was associated with German efforts in the First World, so it was widely used in the English-speaking world. I observed that it was no longer usable. War, therefore he came up with that new term.
If he changes his term “public relations advisor” to “propaganda advisor”, will he specify the time period? I doubt it. Deception and distortion of truth accompanied by lies are often associated with propaganda efforts. Take a look at the UK government's eye-popping coronavirus advertising budget. It's surprisingly easy to exploit fear and greed for money. Have you fallen in love with “public relations” broadcasting?

The first word of that phrase, a proper noun in this case, happens to be a variant of “Knights Templar,” referring to members of a religious military order founded in the early 12th century.
meaning
I arrived at the following definition.
mass transmission It is a deliberate and intentional act of deliberately disseminating ideas to manipulate and create global action in response to a global “emergency.” Perhaps we should add the word “malicious”?
Personally I'm in it Good feeling Regarding the concept of mass propagation, as long as the modifying adjective “truth” is added.
