For good

Sometimes it's easy to ignore certain things because it's become a normal part of our lives. It's easy to just click "like" on Facebook and not really read or pay any mind to the article that was mentioned in the first place. Media has become such a blessing to so many people to raise awareness about certain issues that are arising in today's world, but is media and the forms in which we use it blinding us to what really matters. Blinding us to the point where we just endlessly scroll and never see the the issues are at hand.

I was almost guilty of just that before I clicked on a link to a video that was recently made by Sam Smith and John Legend to support Red Nose Day which is a Comic Relief group that raise funds in order to support projects that are created to change the lives of those at home, the UK, and across Africa. This is a great cause and I love seeing celebrities come together and are able to raise awareness on causes such as these.

We may not have the funds ourselves to be able to donate to certain organizations, but the least we can do is give some attention to the issues taking place and raise awareness of them, because believe it or not, some people don't realize the problems that other countries may be facing. I've seen how much of a role media plays in our lives and how much we can use it to spread the word and create a stance where people are sharing for good.
