Nowadays, there is a trend that reports of media focus on problems and emergencies rather than positive development. Some people think it is harmful to individuals and to society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, news about serious issues in all nations across the globe has gained increasing popularity. While it is believed that the dominance of tragic news can result in the deterioration of our society, I advocate that advantages

this

kind of news brings to us are

also

of great importance. There are some sound reasons why the lack of positive news has some adverse effects on our lives. The

first

reason is that it causes great distress to citizens.

For example

, if people, particularly senior citizens, have to expose to a lot of information on crimes, including snatch theft or homicide, they will be prone to mental illnesses

such

as depression and lose belief on everyone, which leads to the loss of the sense of community. Other than that, news about those who have overcome setbacks for the sake of their success motivates people to pursue their passion.

This

is because individuals, especially children and teenagers, can adopt their positive attitudes to make efforts and achieve their goals.

On the other hand

, people can reap great benefit from negative news for compelling explanations.

First

of all, it helps people become well-prepared in cases of emergency. The reason is that people have easier access to reliable statistics and follow the proper precautions with a view to preventing not only themselves, but

also

the society from pandemics

such

as nCoV-19 or Ebola and catastrophes.

Moreover

,

this

kind of publications is

also

a rational method to heighten citizens’ awareness of global issues consisting of the destruction of the environment or the increasing crime rate.

For instance

, photos of shrinking habitats or fatalities which are the consequences of violating traffic laws can act as a deterrent to actions deteriorating the environment and would-be law breakers. All in all, not only tragic but

also

welcomed news plays essential roles in our society;

therefore

, people are entitled to be informed both of them.
