One of the problems with media, and perhaps
society today, is the tunnel vision that they have when it comes to
important issues. One debate seems to detract from all others. It forces
us to be come singular thinking, as in order for us to feel that our
most important viewpoint is heard, we think we have to repeat and rehash
it again and again, much like our media does. The marketplace of
debatable issues is seemingly very competitive.
As the complex beings that most of us are, we have the ability to
consider multiple issues in the context of the big picture of modern
society. As news is presented by the media, we tend to become distracted
from the issues they are not talking about. Remaining ignorant to these
problems can cause them to become worse.
When we look at the
full scope of problems facing our world today, we may find that our many
problems have similar solutions. While more considerate conversation is
required, I think these solutions can be broadly summed up with just
one phrase: Love your neighbor.
