About this Quote

He recommends that these stress and anxieties are rooted in a variety of problems, such as the danger of nuclear bombs, the inequality of opportunity and resources, and a pervasive attitude of racism and oppression. Baskin's words suggest that these anxieties are deeply embedded in our society, which they are not easily attended to. He indicates that these anxieties are a result of the current state of our world, and that they are not easily dealt with.
