Humankind is at a distinct disadvantage, at least in terms of physical ability. Pretty much every animal of comparable mass has a distinct advantage in speed, strength, or natural weapons. Even among the great apes, humanity is weak. The chimp, which is much smaller than a human being, is around one and one half times stronger than a full grown man. But what humanity does have is its brain. It got this brain because evolution decided that humankind should have increased intelligence in exchange for muscular development. Of course, this intellect require stimulation, and reading Arab news online is a great way to get that stimulation.
The thing about the news is that it is something that a lot of people keep up with. This is because for some of them, it just plain entertainment, something to do to keep their mind stimulated and fill their time. Other people, on the other hand, are in professions in which they must understand what is going on in the world.
The internet has made modern life convenient. No longer does a person have to wait for the newspaper to be delivered or to wait for the time that their program comes on. They can just go online and peruse the stories they want at their leisure, without having to wait for schedules.
Information does not download directly into the mind. There has to be a medium of transfer. In most cases, this medium is the media. But the form that media takes can vary. Some people will read an article. Other people will watch a video. Most websites will cater to both kinds of people, and most individuals are actually a mix of both.
Fake news is a thing. Unfortunately, it is a thing that is extremely prevalent on the internet. This is because everyone can put anything online. It does not have to factually accurate, or even have any shade of truth. It just has to garner attention and then get readers. It needs to get eyes on websites, in essence. Being correct is a secondary concern.
In the old days, news would spread by people reading papers and watching a show on the television. Then they would tell their friends about the media they just consumed, and then those friends would go ahead and consume that very same media. It works the same way today, but it goes at a much faster rate thanks to social media. A person can now post a link on their social media. Then their friends or followers will click on it and read it for themselves.
The thing about the world is that there are some places about it that are total crap. They have been hit by generations of constant warfare, conflict that maybe takes a break for a decade or so, never enough time to recover from war or for a generation to understand what peace is. Those places are going to be seen as wilder, less civilized than other places. That means that if something really bad happens in such a place, then the majority of individuals outside of it are not going to have much difficulty believing it.
What is even more unfortunate is that sometimes that pessimism is justified. There are parts of the planet that are war torn, that have been torn apart by conflict. Every week, there are stories of an innocent being murdered or whole crowds being blown up.
The thing about living is that sometimes it is not easy. It can be rather difficult to just keep on staying alive. Being current on everything that is going on with the world can break the soul. But it is something that can be done.
