What's on your mind?

"With all the bad things and horrible news and drama that you constantly hear everywhere" American Media is usually about bad shit happening, rare are the times when news is for good things.
This is usually because of both human's likings for tragedy and the paranoia found in American Culture.

Okay, I stand by what I said in the previous post.
A) New worlsdwide tend to focus more on the bad then the good things. For various reasons. Diffrent things may be seen on diffrent levels of 'bad' but the ratio of good/bad is pretty much the same. - That said, diffrent types of news appreach things diffrent too.
B) I am rarly in contact with american media per se, both news and media in form of movies/games/shows/comics/whatever. Enough to see where you are coming from, though. And the liking for drama, as you said, is a thing of the human culture overall, as well as the paranoia.
C) I wasn't talking about any form of public media in the first place; it was on a more personal level.
I was thinking about people that I know and don't know, who have lost loved ones. Who suffer from illness, who have problems with no easy solution. And about other, more curel people who intentionally try to make htings worse. - That's what was on my mind for the 'bad things'. Fopr the positive ones, I was thinking about all the people who try to help. Be it through being a friend, by fighting against those problems and looking for a way to solve them. By thanking others. By making people smile. By going out of their way to do something that is simple, yet time consuming and probably boring for them but means the world to an other person. By caring.
And I thought about how something that started small with no intention to become anything can turn into something huge that affects a lot of people in diffrent ways and that in a way represents all the good things that have come from this.
