People make videos instead of helping those in need

By Eric Carranza

  WorldStarHipHop is a website for the entertainment side of news.

For the most part it’s about what celebrities are up to now good or bad.

  The site also has a bad reputation.

The bad rep stems from the site allowing distribution of fights to be posted on its site by users. But let’s not act like it’s just WorldStar that does this.

Let’s not forget the pioneer of this. That’s the everyday site called YouTube.

Before WorldStar and all other viral video sites, it’s where most people would go to find a video everyone is talking about.

For most YouTube is still the site to go to find video’s that are even WorldStar created.

So where is the line drawn when you stumble across a video that seems flat-out not acceptable?

For starters people can think twice about what they are about to post and how that can affect someone’s life.

It’s just like when people say think twice before you send that tweet. Because just like a tweet: once it’s up it’s more likely going to stay up, even if you delete it there are those who get a copy and that will forever exist.

This is a different time.

It’s the technology era.

So why is it that there are those that get the joy out of recording people fighting or doing a crime instead of doing something that will be impactful and helpful.

Everyone has to draw their own line somewhere, for me it’s bullying.

As I did my research on this topic I stumbled across a video called the Bully Experiment where this guy wants to see what people would do if he was to pretend to be a bully.

Sadly in the video there’s a particular scene where there’s a student right in front of the bullying and instead of doing anything helpful he pulls out his phone and starts to recording.

These types of videos are all over the web.

So ask yourself the next time you record anything that is not helpful to someone and only harmful or disturbing: Is the 15 minutes of fame worth it?
