...They Seem.)
E2LA here. I think this should be worth talking about. All too often, the news media (particularly in the US) tends to focus too much on the negative stuff (terrorism, natural disasters, crime, et al.). Which gives people 'tunnel vision' about all that stuff.
But, the reality of things is- not all is bad in the world. And, I present to you for your reading, four articles about how there is actually good in the wordl, despite what you may hear in the media:
1. https://www.washingtonpost.com/postever ... 4c33c15630
2. https://www.theguardian.com/world-visio ... -the-stats
3. https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26669
4. http://www.cracked.com/article_24507_5- ... -ever.html
In the articles, two of them state the number of people living in poverty in the world has actually decreased since the 1980s, the crime rate in the US is at one of its lowest levels in 50 years.
Additionally, the world has seen much worse than what we've seen in the past few years. When you look back at the past 200-odd years, there have been plenty of periods where much worse has occurred, compared to recently.
So, to summarize, there is GOOD in the world, in spite of you hear. It's just that too much is focused on the negative stuff, which I refuse to dwell on, mostly because it isn't good for your health, and that it just breeds cynicism, which I dislike.
I hope you all have something to say about this, but please be civilized and respectful in the comments.
