Caring, it makes the world go round.....

 
 
You know what I think? I think people need to care more or at least in a different way. People care about their immediate selves, which is a good thing. After all, the present is all we have, the past is just memories and the future unknown. And if we don't care about ourselves, who else is going to? 
I just think that we need to care beyond this, we need to take a moment and care about someone/something else, the environment, poverty, war....anything! Then we would be fighting for something, perhaps not for OUR future, but THE future. The future for people and things who are affected (directly or indirectly) by our actions. 
Now I am not saying that we all don't care about things other than ourselves, because we do everyday of our lives, I just think we need to care more (myself included). Or maybe we just need to take a breath from our own lives occassionally to realize the world that is right in front of us. 
A world worth caring for.  Everyone cares about something, what do you care about?

    I completely agree Country. Its not enough to just care about something, but its another thing to actually do something about it. I care about our world and want to try to preserve it as much as possible. We should try our best to take care of it because it is just so precious that I think sometimes people take it for granted, including myself. I feel like sometimes we get distracted by other things like war when we could be focusing our efforts on more important things like conserving energy, dealing with poverty and hunger, among other things.

History and the media - things we need to take into consideration

It is important to learn about how the media has dealt with issues in the past, because it allows us to make informed decisions about the future, and it can help to not make the same mistakes twice, also if we look at a problem in the past, we can work on how we would change things now, so that the problem no longer exists. Also by looking at how the media has dealt with things in the past, it might help change our perspective on that particular event, etc. as we realize that the media portrayal might not have been accurate. Some examples of how things can sometimes be negatively viewed from the media would include the portrayal of people who join gangs and do illegal activities, e.g. looting in the UK. They are often portrayed as either white individuals with a low socioeconomic status or people of color, although this demographic maybe true, the people in gangs are often shown as lazy and not having any purpose to their lives,

Footballers and their wages

My first discussion point, why do footballers get paid so much? It is absolutely pointless, they do hardly anything, just kick around a ball all day and they get paid millions. It is so not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many individuals doing more worth while jobs, yet they get paid a fraction of what footballers get! It is not even eqaul across all sports Rugby players for example, get paid a lot less. I am not against football, I enjoy it, I just think that it is crazy the amount of money that footballers get.
