Is no one going to talk about the important things that are going on right now? Like yes, when something big happens with the government we pay attention to it, but only for a couple of days and then something happens with celebrities and we move on to that. When is the last time you heard about Flint, Michigan? And there still isn't much being done to stop global warming. Do we really care about celebrities more than our lively hoods?
I will admit that I don't keep up with news like that as much as I would like to. However, at this point, a lot of the news sites are very biased and a lot of them just talk about the dumb things that celebrities do. Then when celebrities do try to speak up about things that need to be talked about they are told to shut up and that they don't know anything. Which is stupid because those celebrities are educated and are trying to use their status to do something but nobody listens to them. It just seems like we don't want to feel guilty for the things that we are causing.
We need to start spending more than 24 hours on subjects that don't involve celebrities. We need to have things relevant until they are fixed or its starting to be fixed. Especially since we are starting to become numb to things that happen so much because we keep hearing about it, but nothing is done. Like the Mosque shooting that just happened in New Zeland immediately had action taken after it where in America we have to have marches for things to happen and even then not much happens. People also are relying on this new generation to fix things. Like yes, we do need to do stuff, but also there are generations above us that could still be doing things about these subjects. People just think since we are a young generation and we have our whole lives to live that we should be dealing with this on our own and it's our problem now.
Now we do have a large voice and maybe even a majority voice, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything should be put on us. We shouldn't have to be the ones to fix everything wrong with the world. We all don't even have to agree on the same things as far as political views go. People can have different political views and still get Flint clean water or have different political views and still clean up trash and recycle so it doesn't end up in our oceans. People are so ignorant about these types of things because we never hear about it. We only hear about things that will get people fighting because we feed off of drama and that's not a good thing.
