Over the last few weeks, it's safe to say that the world has been rocked by tragedy. From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, to devastation impacting the lives of millions across the globe, support and attention toward these grief-stricken countries and communities are more important than ever

However, after one famous family name has continuously made headlines over the last couple of weeks, growing resentment toward the media has taken presence. When news broke that not only Kim Kardashian-West was expecting a third child in early 2017 via surrogate, but sisters Kylie AND Khloe were also rumored to be expecting in the preceding and succeeding weeks of Kim's due date, news outlets everywhere directed their attention from the tragedy (and successes) that people all over the world are facing toward the famous reality stars seemingly-continuous drama. But, that's the problem.

The media's hyper-focused attention on the Kardashian-Jenner clan's ongoing shenanigans has shadowed what's most important right now: current events that are changing the world. Here are 14 current events that are more important than the Kardashian pregnancy trifecta:

1. Earthquake victims in Mexico are still buried alive.

2. Increased seismic activity at Mount Agung in Bali has forced over 50k people from their homes.


3. The Dengue Fever outbreak in Peshawar.

4. Pope Francis' campaign to counteract anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States and Europe.

5. Climate change.

6. Flint, Michigan has been without clean water for two years.

7. Saudi Arabia is finally allowing women to drive.

8. The aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

9. Trump vs. the NFL.

10. Trump vs. the NBA.

11. The growing tension between the United States and North Korea.

12. The terrorist attack in Har Adar in Jerusalem.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.
