Hello there! Media has widely desensitized many people to the reality and sadness of death and disaster because it has been made a normal occurrence. Media often starts controversy, and with controversy comes negativity. Part of the negativity that occurs arrives in the form of one’s death or suffering being made a source of entertainment and laughter. Because things along these lines are shared and created, people gradually are desensitized to the reality of misfortune. In some cases, it even becomes its own joke. The reality of sadness is affected by what people do and what people say on social media, especially if what the person is saying is something derogatory or intentionally hurtful to the recipient of the shared source. Hope this helps!
