people pay attention to the Wrong things!!!!!!
Why is it that people focus on the wrong things in American society? People are more interested in who was best and worst dressed at the Academy awards than about the increase in poverty rates. Sometimes I wonder why athletes and entertainers get paid so much more money than teachers or professors. Why is it that those who actually are the sole purpose of education circulating in the world, get paid the least. What is the world coming to? You hear about the next celebrity trashing a party more on the news than about a teen that has recently been shot. The one thing that is truly amazing to me is how the news is focused more on Tiger Woods personal life (which is his own business) than something serious in the community. When is America going to get a reality check? Those who are in government who are able to change things in society are so corrupted. They are more worried about filling up their pockets with money than diminishing the issues in the world. And, the Academy awards has been in great debate with the media about why they didn’t put Farrah Fauset in their show when they were commemorating those who had died in the past year. But, think about all the people that die everyday. Does the media have a one hour special on the average citizen. In additon, look at Chris Brown and Rihanna. Why was their domestic violence situation in the media for an entire year when there are plenty of individuals getting abused everyday. People take necessary precautions for those who are considered “important.” Think about it, look at the immediate response to Rihanna when Chris Brown abused her. Have you ever thought about how long it take for an average citizen to receive aid from the police? I just really shake my head when I think about what people value and what people do not value.
