Risk of watching the news.
Watching the news has been so normal for us. We find new information, capture interesting stories and learn more about what's going around the world. Most of the information they give us now is how a certain event affected the family. Do we really care about the family? Or are we just nosy people? Irrelevant information is given out more than the actual important information. We tend to use our emotions when we watch the news then our knowledge. Scientist are starting to say that not watching the news will start making us happier.
The misperception of a car falling of a fallen apart bridge makes us be more preoccupied of the car and the family then the actual bridge. Yes we should all be worried about the family. But the car isn't really important. Like of it was a Honda people would just start being like "I'm not buying that car, their brakes don't work." When that was a human mistake. What about the bridge? That was a human mistake too. We get scared to buy the type of car when we should've been worried about the real problem which is our society.
Sometimes it isn't the fact that care, just that showing that we care shows off a good impression to other people. While we watch the news, we apply emotions, "how tragic is that", "I feel sorry", come one people we need to apply KNOWLEDGE!! Yes, some cases are heart touching, but omg(oh my god) use that brain. You see a family lost there house, due to a fire. You seem more sad about the family losses, then instead trying to make a difference, in order to prevent it from happening or to help them out get back on there feet, after all it might happen to you.
Your sitting there watching the news, now a days all you see is bad, negative things happening around the world. Which makes you think and worry about the problems around the world, which at the end of the day makes you overthink. Overthinking is bad to the health, it makes you worry about non-sense, well not exactly non-sense. Yet scientist are saying not watching the news makes you way lot happier with your life's.
At the end of the day, watching cartoons is better. They bring fun, joy, sadness, but they don't make you have a misperception about the world and it's problems. We can't control the people to watch the news or not to watch. Sometimes your going to just be able to accept the ways the news makes you feel.
