 I just said that in our broadcasted civilization, a guy that dies at the corner of the street easily makes the cover of any newspaper while hundred thousands of people are being exterminated in Africa for example.
The neighborhood is becoming the center of the world for the narrow minded television-viewer. These problems are inherent to our modern societies and shall be discussed in a more global way, not pointing at a poor guy telling to him you are bad and you shall die because of it.

Erencius, 
I understand what you mean. It is true that the media seems to be disaster-oriented. Breaking news or tragic news take up a large proportion of the pages of our newspapers. Why?  Because there are many readers who want to read the tragic (breaking) news. That's why the media prefer reporting the breaking bad news. Tragic news can win over the sympathy of the ordinary people. News reports are “Human-interests Oriented".

As to this statement:” The neighborhood is becoming the center of the world for the narrow minded television-viewer." I dissent with you. Right, the neighborhood is the center of the world, not only for the narrow minded, but the broad minded. What happened at the corner of a neighborhood is an epitome of the global scene. Big social scenery consists of small pieces of ordinary people's lives. Remember, “Small Drops Contribute to A Big Pool." Undoubtedly, many problems should be discussed in a global way. However, as a broad-minded person, should we overlook the seemingly trivial cases? The small cases contribute to the Big Globe.
