I think I agree - the influences of the culture and experiences a group of individuals are opened to would invariably create a base set of fears and ideals for that group. I suppose if you asked a group of people from different backgrounds and generations about what they thought or believed, they would probably all come up with different answers, at least part of each of these answers being generic and applicable to a wider group with similar experiences behind them.
And you're right - if you try to rationally think about your own fears, it becomes very difficult to actually pinpoint why these things worry you. Try as I might, however, I haven't a clue why. Perhaps it's just the messages sent out by the media, or just the way in which certain events affect certain people. I really, honestly don't know.
So, in short, I'm pretty sure you're not an idiot.
