Culture and the Perception of Risk | The Kojo Nnamdi Show

Guns cause crime. Guns prevent crime. Two opposing views in a long-simmering debate, each with statistics supporting their arguments. Researchers say our perception of danger and our reading of "facts" is heavily influenced by our surroundings. Join Kojo to explore how culture frames our views of risk on divisive policy issues, like global warming, the death penalty and vaccines for sexually transmitted infections.
