dc.description.abstract In the course of the last few years the United States has embarked on a new and bold kind of war in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Among the results of this war is a new kind of a trust in the government and its leaders the likes of which have not been seen in this country since WWII. As a result of 9/11 and WWII, people turned to their government and in a single voice declared a new trust in it and with these new trusts came new powers. It is the purpose of this thesis has been to examine these "new" powers in order to determine what caused the people to grant them, and also how long they are going to last. It has established a Terror Theorem that is a predictor model to show what makes people surrender their rights in these times. To do this a survey instrument will be given to a sample of the student body of Youngstown State that was designed to determine what role fear and politics play in this new world. en_US
