Present-Day Society

OK. So I am still watching 'I'm A Celebrity: Get me out of here'.. I really need to stop though cause I feel my blood pressure rising with each passing celebrity.

As usual, Spencer and Heidi is still getting on my nerves. Spencer is like a 5 year old boy with WAY too much facial hair and Heidi is a dumb blond; literally. I really hope reality TV works out for her cause I honestly don't see any real career ahead of her. Well, nah, unless you count stripping, then.. BRING IN THE MONEY...lol

Enough about them.. I noticed something watching that show that is also evident in the present-day society; Citizens have no community values.

Ok.. Here is the story.. Spencer took Torrie's bag and played hide and go seek with it. [5 year old] The other cast members basically sat there and let him do it. Yeah you heard the 'I wouldn't do that, bro' but no one stood up and did anything. Since Torrie was no where around someone could have stood up for her. After all, I am sure that no one would want their bag hidden. When Torrie returned, she found out that John [don't know his last name, but the tall basketball dude] told the Fran of Frangela [from the Best Week Ever] that Spencer hid Torrie's bag. Why he didn't tell Torrie when she returned, I don't know.. Now I don't know if they helped Torrie look for her bag or not cause I paused it to write this blog, but I will soon find out..

Anyways.. Citizens, humans, people or whatever you want to call them have a habit of letting stuff be done. People would just stand around and watch a person do bad to an innocent victim instead of defending the non-present victim. I am not sure why but people are cowards. Why don't people place themselves in situations? I am sure that no one would want their bag hidden so why allow someone else bag to be hidden? Why sit back and let bad stuff be done to people? There was about 5 other people standing around that could have stopped Spencer, but no one moved. Instead they just all looked like 'Glad it wasn't me'.

That is the problem with society today. So many people just stand around and 'watch'. People sit back and watch children steal. People sit back and watch children kill. People sit back and watch children be tormented. People sit back and watch people get raped. And every one's number one response is 'It's none of my business'. I bet it would be your business if your stuff got stolen or if your close family member got killed or raped or if your child got tormented. People are quick to say it is not their business but then get mad when it is said about their situation.

If more people took a stand and defended victims and tried to persuade evil-doers to do good, this world might just be different. But the crime rates are steadily rising.

Maybe one day people will start looking out for other people but I guess for now as long as it is not you.. 'It is none of your business'...
