Celebrities. They’re the most talked about in everyday life. There are some people that can give you all the information you need to know about a celebrity.
Unfortunately, if you were to ask a random person who Ahmed Mohamed is, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to give you an answer.
Mohamed is a 14-year-old boy who got arrested in Irving, Texas for bringing a homemade clock that appeared to look like a bomb, to his high school.
His alarm went off in his english class. The english teacher asked him to show it to her, and when he did it made her feel uneasy.
His teacher called the police and he was detained shortly after.
So why is Mohamed relevant? He’s relevant because his story is news worth talking about.
His story is news worth focusing on, instead of focusing on if Kylie Jenner and Blac Chyna are still fighting over Tyga.
In America, people focus too much attention on the lives of famous people. They fail to focus enough time and attention on things that matter.
They fail to care about serious issues because they aren’t directly connected to them. If there is no connection, then there is no real reason for action.
It’s easier to concern yourself with the things in life that don’t matter, instead of thinking about the things that do matter and seeing if there is a way to do anything in regard to help.
People don’t want to disrupt their lives with the negative things that are not only happening in our country, but in other countries around the world.
This is the exact reason why the Jewish people suffered for as long as they did, and endured all that they had to because America didn’t want to get involved in the issue.
America didn’t want to harbor any refugee Jews because they didn’t want to go to war against Germany. But in the end they fought against Germany to free the Jews, so what was the point of turning their heads for so long?
If we don’t learn to change our mistakes from the past, we’re doomed to repeat it in the future.
Much hasn’t changed. America goes to war to help their allies in need, but ignores the problems within its own country.
People wrap themselves in celebrity’s lives that they may never meet, but turn a blind eye to what’s happening around them.
