Maintaining Situational Awareness Doesn’t Mean Living Your Life in Fear; It Means Living Your Life Prepared.
I don’t want people to think I’m paranoid.”
In many cases, that is how my conversation with some of my students starts when I bring up the subject of situational awareness. This comes after I have given several examples and asked how many of my students exhibit certain behaviors.
From using their phones while walking to texting at stop signs or lights (or worse—while driving) to sitting in any booth or table at their favorite restaurant, they all show signs of the lowest level of awareness of their surroundings.
