English term or phrase: paranoia
I would like to write this sentence in my essay:
"Instead of the sword that represents courage and dignity in the man's hand, there is a pistol that represents modern violence and paranoia."
Anita
Spanish translation:see below
Explanation:
En vez de la espada en la mano del hombre, que representa el coraje y la dignidad, hay una pistola que representa la violencia y la paranoia de los tiempos actuales.

You can use also "valor" instead of "coraje" and "modernos" instead of "actuales".

Hope this helps
