Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to display the ways in which the construction of the perception of the world as an unsafe place in which strange people with whom we share the same time and space context want to harm us actually suggests a relationship of distrust towards the world and offer the fear of strangers and the fear of trust as the only solution to the danger. The 2008 movie Taken is an excellent example for an analysis like this, and the paper considers the communicated message of the "right" perception of fear which is the basis for tackling the issue of the shared responsibility for the tragedy between strangers and victims.
