Answer 1

The public responses to the influenza pandemic and the Red Scare after World War I were similar in that they both involved a **growing fear of others**. During the influenza pandemic, there was fear of contagion and the potential for illness spreading, leading to social distancing and a mistrust of interactions with others. In the case of the Red Scare, fear of communism and perceived threats from radicals led to suspicion and hostility towards various groups, particularly immigrants and labor movements. Both scenarios fostered an environment of anxiety and distrust among the population.
