    I think it is modern social media and internet that help put this in world stage. Before you have to believe news paper or whoever own the radio. Now you can’t hide the truth.

      Certainly newspapers, social media and the internet have all helped to “shrink” the world so that anything horrible that happens, we know about it instantly. This can make it seem like the world is becoming a more horrible place to live every day.

      But there are good stories out there too, we just don’t hear about them - after all, they don’t make money for the newscasters or the internet icons…if you can have a huge following just by showing cruelty to others, that’s what people will do.
