Against the backdrop of Ukraine's current struggles, this paper delves into the universal vs. culturally constructed nature of emotions. Comparing Ukrainian and English linguistic expressions, it evaluates two opposing theories—whether FEAR is a universal human experience or shaped by cultural contexts.
