Okay, so no hate towards the Kardashians, but for those of you that have not heard, recently Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson has been a trending topic for the media in the past week or so. Apparently, Tristian Thompson cheated on Khloe who is the mother of his child with Kylie (younger sister's) best friend, aka Jordyn Woods. I know that was a lot to follow along with. But, my question for it all is why?
I know… you may be reading this article and ask well why do you care? You don't have to read it, and you are right I don't. My problem with this being shared numerous times over the internet is that there are more important things the media could be sharing trending topics.
I read an article on CNN the other day and it was titled "Teen saves two years to buy classmate electric wheelchair." This article was about a young boy who was only working part-time at a mechanic shop after school, who then saved up enough money to buy his classmate an electric wheelchair. Why is this not a trending topic?
You have the Kardashians being a trending topic for having money and having their rich husbands cheat on them, and creating more drama for the world and media to discuss, but what about the teen who used his last savings to save up enough money to help his classmate?
Why are we so quick to be drawn to the drama of social lights that do not care about our well beings? As soon as it was publicized about the affair going on between Thompson and Woods, it became a nonstop topic, that is still surfacing today. But, as a society, we need to do a better job of looking at other forms of heroism and not be so focused into the celebrity drama that is created just for show.
