Negativity In The Media

The media is so saturated with hate and negativity. When you turn on the news the first thing you see is a story about a crime being committed. What happened to the uplifting news stories? Are they not good enough to be commentated on? I know that there are so many great things going on in this world but if you watch the news you would not know it. You have to search high and low to seek out some type of positivity in this world. People have enough going on in their own lives that they have to deal with and then there is no real escape or things on TV to uplift, motivate, and inspire us.

I think it should be more for the children that are growing up in this hateful world. Children today need so much more from society than what they are giving. We have to realize that these kids will one day grow up and become the future of this world that we live in. Do we really want to oversaturate with all of this hate and negativity. By no means am I saying that the media and TV are responsible for raising our children but they do have a responsibility to help in the aid of them being raised right. We see all the time on TV how we tear each other down and not enough of us helping to build us up. There are many, many people and organizations that are fighting the good fight but are rarely showcased because they are being overshadowed by the negativity.

When it comes to celebrities the media feels like it has free rein to say whatever they feel like. Celebrities and public figures have feelings just like the people that are not in their position. I know that there are some celebrities who bring it upon themselves by sharing and revealing too much sometimes but they’re just living their lives the best way they know how. Can you imagine the amount of pressure celebrities are under by having every little thing they do being scrutinized? It is a hard job being under a microscope every day of your life. I know some people will not agree with me because they may feel that these celebrities knew what they signed up for. Maybe they didn’t though. Some people get in this business and have no idea how it is. It’s up to them, ultimately, to not let the pressures break them and to keep people around them that are for them. Remember, celebrities are humans too and they bleed and feel just the same as us.
