Environment of fear

The "Environment of Fear" refers to a situation or setting where individuals constantly feel threatened, anxious, or unsafe due to ongoing threats, intimidation, or stressors. This environment can suppress open communication, hinder well-being, and negatively impact decision-making, often created by oppressive leadership, violence, or persistent uncertainties. In such settings, people may act cautiously or defensively out of concern for their safety and stability, which can undermine trust and overall effectiveness within the community or organization.
