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 reasons that people follow the news are many and varied. For some, cracking open the newspaper, going on to a website, or a going to a television program is entertainment, something to do to pass the time. But some individuals need to keep up with the all the going ons of 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.
Reading or watching. That is how people consume their media. Most websites on the internet will have content that can be either read or viewed by their visitors.
The internet is open. That means that everyone is welcome on it. This means that anyone can put whatever they want on it. Truth does not matter. What matters is getting the message out. It matters not if the message has any kind of objective fact behind it. Facts do not matter as much as getting readers or viewers.
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.
Unfortunate as it is, there are places in the world where the public is more readily incline to believe the worst news stories. That is the way of the world. Some places, and the individuals who live in them, are going to be seen as a little bit more savage than others.
What is really unfortunate is that sometimes, the pessimism that many experience when thinking about a certain region is justified. A few places are basically hell on earth. There are stories coming out of those places every day of an innocent person being decapitated for not following the right sect of their religion.
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.
