Is the World Really Becoming more Dangerous? Perceptions vs Reality of Global Security ASIS Europe 2025 Conference Recording
1 CPE
Is the world truly becoming more dangerous—or do we just perceive it that way? This session explores the data, media influence, and global factors shaping our understanding of security today, uncovering whether rising fears reflect reality or the complexities of an interconnected world.
1 CPE
In an increasingly interconnected world, the question of whether global security is deteriorating or improving has become a topic of significant debate. During this session we will delve into the factors shaping perceptions of global security and analyse the evidence behind these perceptions, such as:
- Is the perception that the world is becoming more dangerous based on actual data, or is it driven by media coverage and public fear?
- Are we simply more aware of threats due to globalisation and information flow?
- Are we safer now than in previous decades, or are the risks simply more complex and harder to predict?
