Most people are only interested in the things that they want to see. This generation is called the “Me Generation” because of all the things that “me” want. It’s always about what I want and what I want to do. We are such a selfish and foolish generation; we don’t appreciate the people and things in life. Although not all people are like this, we are stereotyped as this. The media shows us what they think is important and distort the young developing minds; brainwashing us, we automatically conform to it. The media only care about famous people and nothing about innocent people dying everyday.
People that die for doing or saying something that they believe in are not recognized as people like Britney Spears or Jamie Lynn Spears. When Britney Spears lost custody of her children, and people crowding over to get her input on it, where were the people crowding over to try to help the starved kids of the slums all over the world? It is almost befuddling to how arrogant people can be. When Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant at such a young age, it was all over magazines, but only do we seldom see magazines about innocent children dying everyday due to hunger and disease. However we find not only natural occurrences do this, but humane actions as well.
Kids die from the crass things and tragedies all over the world due to gang violence. Just because of the color of their skin they are killed, even through their deaths they are not commemorated or remembered by the world. The world is more interested in what Zac Efron has to say about fashion or a cute girl, or what a new song the Jonas Brothers make. Violence is all around; it is a war on the streets, pointless killing to resolve nothing, and ending with more bloodshed. There are too many bigots in this world that think one race is superior over another. We have to learn how to abate and teach the next generation not to make the same mistakes the previous generation has. It is frustrating to see all the fallacy that is put into our minds. These people die, and yet they are not recognized.
A man died of AIDS and only had a section of grass to be remembered by, he didn’t even have a headstone that said his name, and you need a map to find his grave. His son/daughter can’t even put flowers on her father’s grave because he doesn’t have a place to put it; no one cares of another man that died of AIDS. “The media makes a big deal of a movie star breaking a leg or a toe, but if a man with as much wisdom as my father passes away, no one cares.” -Diary Entry 81 of the Freedom Writer Diary. This Freedom Writer writes about her father that he/she loved very much that died of a vicious disease that kills millions of innocent lives everyday, but how no one even recognized him. They are too caught up with all the things that happen in this world to famous people in the eyes of this propaganda filled world.
To be candid, “we” all are like this, though there are some that are impeccable. Those are the few that are the hope for this generation. I hate using “we” because it is ignorant, but ignorance is bliss. Only when we experience things as destitute, poverty, death to gang violence or sickness do we start to understand and empathize why and how someone might feel a certain way. Even “we” feel like this and at the very end, it’s too late. This Freedom Writer has to go through so much pain and even the world would not recognize her father for it; just another dead person to another heartless disease. It is to remember these people for the things they have done by what they believe in and what they lived for, and not from the eyes of the media, but the people they have impacted.
