 Magaret Mead (December 16, 1901-November 15,1978)
was an American Cultural anthropologist, who was
frequently a featured writer and speaker in the mass
media throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
 She was both a popularizer of the insights of
anthropology into modern American and Western culture,
and also a respected , if controversial , acaemic
anthropologist. Her reports about the attitudes towards
sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional
cultures amply informed the 1906s sexual revolution.
Mead was a champion of broadened sexual morals within a
context of traditional western religious life.
 An Anglican Christian, she played a considerable part
in the drafting of the 1979 American Episcopal Book of
common prayer.

 Whenever an age is characterized by a phrase, it is
presumably in contrast to other ages. If we are the age of
anxiety, what were other ages? And here the critics and carpers
do a very amusing thing. First, they give us lists of the opposites
of anxiety: security, trust, self-confidence, self direction. Then,
without musch further discussion, they let us assume that other
ages, other periods of history, were somehow the ages of trust
or confident direction.
 For anxiety, as we have come to use it to describe our
characteristic state of mind, can be contrasted with the active
fear of hunger, loss, violence and death. Anxiety is the
appropriate emotion when the immediate personal terror—of a
voicano, an arrow, the sorcerer’s spell , a stab in the back and
other calamities, all directed against one’s self---disapears.

 The kind of world that produces anxiety is actualy a world
of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he
himself is facing suden death. Possibly sudden death may
strike a certain number of unidentifed other people----
but not him.
 The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which
one has a feeling that something, unspecified and
underminable may go wrong.
 If the world seems to be going well , this produces
anxiety---for good times amy end. If the world is going
badly---it may get worse.
 Anxiety tends to be without locus: the anxious person
doesn’t know whether to blame himself or tother peop0le .
He is not sure whether it is 1956 or the Administration or
a change in climate or the stom bomb that is to blame for
this underfined sense of unease.

 People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up,
have the brakes checked , don’t take a second drink when they
have to drive, are careful they go and with whom thy drive on
holidays. People who are too anxious either fefuse to go into
cars at all --- and so complicate the ordinary course of life--- or
drive so tensely and overcautiously that they help cause
accidents. People who arn’t anxious enough take chance after
chance, which increases the terrible death toll of the roads.
 But if , then, our anxieties are actually signs of hope, why is
there such a voice of discontent abroad in the land? I think this
comes perhaps because our anxiety exists without and
accompanying recognition of the tragedy which will always be
inherent in human life, however well we build our world. We may
banish hunger, and fear of sorcery , violence or secret police: we
may bring up, children who have learned to trust life and who
have the spontaneity and curiosity necessary to devise ways of
making trips to the moon: we cannot---as we have tried to do--
-banish death itself.

In a 1968 essay entitled “One Vote for this Age of
Anxiety,” Margaret Mead recognized how her own
anxious age arose from advances in technology
and equity. “Anxiety is the appropriate emotion”
she said, “when the immediate personal terror—of
a volcano, an arrow, a stab in the back, and other
calamities all directed against one’s self—
disappears.” As her title suggests, Mead saw
anxiety as progress, for “We have created a nation
in which anxiety” for all but the hungry and
homeless, “has replaced terror and despair.”

 Her comments sound naïve now, not because they’re illogi
cal, but because modern anxiety can’t be diminished so ea
sily.
 As silly as it might be, anxiety is sufficient motivation for
all sorts of bad behavior from jealousy to sabotage, from s
elfishness to theft, from resentment to murder.
 Mead was right to reject the notion of a paradisiacal sava
ge sitting in a lean-to waiting for the sweet potatoes to rip
en or for today’s dinner to wander into traps. That savage
might not survive the day.
 But our standards for good fortune have changed. Our co
llective memory fades, and we forget how difficult things o
nce were or might be. We begin to see life as difficult eno
ugh.

 Mead’s answer to the anxiety of her age was t
o get in touch with the ultimate fear, of death
.
 Doing so, she believedcan give dignity to life
, and acceptance of our inescapable role in th
e modern world, might transmute our anxiety
about making the right choices, taking the rig
ht precautions, and the right risks into the ste
rner stuff of responsibility, which ennobles th
e whole face rather than furrowing the forehe
ad with the little anxious wrinkles of worry.

 What is the solution?

routine life and also attached with family and
other relation.

 When I was teaching, I felt I was consistently in a state of fi
ght or flight. Everything was so unpredictable.
 A fight/riot could break out at any moment, or our admini
stration could throw off the entire day of review before fin
al exams by choosing to do fire drills.
 Sometimes I think my anxiety was due to the fact that I KN
EW so many things COULD be controlled, the fact they wer
en’t made me anxious.
 In our advanced society we can cure things, fix things and
make things happen we never could before.
 Maybe our anxiety is due to the fact that we’re waiting to
see when we’ll encounter that which can’t be fixed or contr
olled or perhaps the anxiety lies at the juxtaposition of wh
at could be controlled and isn’t.

 I like her idea to some extent—maybe my worries would die dow
n if I began each day with a prayer of gratitude for waking up—b
ut I’m probably not alone in not quite believing her.
 Modern life insulates us from death, and our dependence on m
edia renders it something that happens to other people.
 The loss of a parent, child, friend, or acquaintance makes death
visible, and I would never diminish anyone’s grief or its power to
change priorities. However, most Americans aren’t there.
 They’re mired in triviality, a swamp of petty politics, celebrity g
ossip, novelty gadgets, splashy entertainments, and superficial t
weets and texts.
 Until something devastating happens, we remain out-of-touch

 But not blissfully. Something in me knows I s
hould be worried, and so I travel in a mist of
apprehension, wondering if everything can be
so good or can be so good for so long. A vag
ue nay-sayer accompanies me everywhere, po
inting out my vulnerability, the dangers gathe
ring around me, my family, and everyone I car
e about.
