    I don’t think things have changed. You’re hearing these stories more and more because news is able to spread rapidly and globally like never before. While I hate to see all the terrible things happening, I believe it’s a good thing that they’re being reported more, mainly by internet news coverage. We can log in and see news from all over the world. Knowing what’s going on everyhwere should (I would hope) lead to a broader-minded view.

    So to summarize, IMO nothing new is happenening, it’s just that news coverage has expanded.

    What was it they said about murder coverage? Murders have fallen by 15% since the 80’s but news COVERAGE of murders has risen by 400%? Something like that. You are actually safer than you were, but now you know about it all so you actually FEEL worse. An example of how more information isnt always better for society.
    I have a feeling this kinda stuff has been going on for a long time, (look at all the priest abuse cases) but we are just now hearing about it.
