Sometimes, when you hear about a world disaster and think, "Psh. It's so far away-doesn't concern me,"
Yes-yes it does concern you.

It's cultural and social suicide, to be blunt. People don't, or pretend not to care about these events because they're so disconnected from the world that they don't even seem to realize that these were people. Living, breathing people, that if they had saw or talked to even once they would care or at least notice and pause for thought if something happened to them.
It's the sort of thing that contributes to things like the bystander effect. If it's not affecting them, it's not their place to interfere/someone else will interfere. But instead everyone just stands around, wondering what's going on.

The other day, I was telling my friend about the Ft. McMurray fire. She had no idea what it was, or what was going on. She then proclaimed the agree that-even if I fire burnt down all of the world-she wouldn't care or give a **** until it touched her neighborhood.
I was shocked, mortified, and afraid of what our world and generation has become.
