People had many reasons why they should be scared back then (in Hungry). Some of the examples why would be because of chaos, going without food for days, poverty, and also desperation. In America, people are scared today because we now have nuclear bombs, and Russia does also. The biggest reason why people are afraid of these bombs is because you can be about 500 miles away and this bomb will still have the power to shatter a window and hurt you. Also, they are and have been afraid of Sputnik because it is the first satellite that was ever made. No one knows what it does or anything, and that's what makes it so difficult for people to think about.
