If you’ve read my previous post than you understand what I mean when I say bubble. But for the sake of those who have not read my previous post here’s a quick summary:

We’re all busy in our daily lives, work, school, kids, somewhat of a social life that sometimes we don’t even know what going on in our own lives! But for some strange and peculiar reason, it seems like “everyone” is up to date with “non important” information like what happened in the show “The Walking Dead” last Sunday or what’s happening with the Kardashian family … Are they really getting a divorce? It’s hard to admit it, but this is what America cares about. Not about politics, or global issues, or headlining news, not even about local issues in your own community! I call this the American Bubble.

We have become so oblivious to what’s actually going on around us. We have lost the importance of keeping in touch with what really matters. And what’s worse is that media outlets cater to this! Have we forgotten that we are STILL at war? …. Well I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t know! This is exactly what I’m calling to attention! America is so uninformed and frankly not as educated as we “appear” to be. When was the last time you sat down to watch the news? And I’m not taking about local news to get the weather report; I mean a real news station that reports about the country, about national issues, about global issues? Well let me ask you another question, when was the last time you turned the TV on to indulge yourself with some reality TV shows? Or how about an action packed television series?

            You see, I’m not saying watching reality shows is a bad thing. But I feel like the media is rotting our brains (or better yet, we are letting the media rot our brains) with so much garbage that we lose track of the bigger picture. Every day we become so unattached to what’s happening nationally, even globally, that we have unknowingly become part of a bubble. And it’s needless to say with us being so uneducated on national and global issues, that when we finally snap back into reality for a bit with some headlining news; we speak and choose sides about issues we know nothing about. Without facts, without much information, we make judgment. Yet we are quick to jump on Google to search the history behind something of so little importance.    Ask yourself…”Am I part of this bubble?”
