Go and find it yourself.
Dora Alicia Sorto Recinos - Anti mining campaigner in El Salvador murdered on the 26th of December for protesting against Canadian company Pacific Rim's attempts to open a mine in her area, she was 8 months pregnant and holding her 2 year old son when she was shot dead while walking home from doing her laundry. The third person murdered in December.
Why was this no where to be seen in the news? And how can things such as this be allowed to continue, without any protest, or intervention?
Too many people sit around completely oblivious to what is going on in the world around them, on both a local and global level.
A large factor of this is that they just don't see it in whilst going about there everyday lives. It's not on the news, its not in the papers, and none of their friends have mentioned it in there latest face book status'.
If you want to know whats going on beyond your four walls beyond something about some footballer or golfer cheating on his wife, or the obvious fact that the weather outside is bad, then go and look beyond the the usual forms of mass media.
If you don't want to know... then why the hell not??
It obviously seems nicer to live in your bubble, but one day no matter what you do you'll experience real pain, and your bubble will pop! This is inevitable, and you will not know what to do.
Understand this now, learn about how to deal with it, and it will help you in the long term.
You will be able to understand what you can then contribute. There is no point in living life for yourself.
