The Royal Wedding

Right now many people around the world are excited about the royal wedding. Honestly I don’t' really see the attraction its pretty much the same as every celebrity wedding. What has our culture come to when we ignore the upcoming election and the war in Libya to focus on a wedding for two people we don’t even know? For all we know William will never be king or worse he could be horrible. Yet we ignore everything going on and focus on this prince and princess fantasy. Sometimes I talk about things like genocide and famine and people say they just don't want to think about it right now. If not now when! When will we deal with the problems in our world, I’ll admit that allot of the times I ignore the truth but it’s not right. We owe it to the world to watch the world vision commercial get up and do something about it. We should look at a Greenpeace campaign and not only be inspired for a minute but for a lifetime. Every generation says this will be the generation to make change but the truth is everyone generation has to. We can’t pretend our issues are just another TV program that’s not real, it is real and it is time we as people stand up and make a difference.

  1. People all around the world watch the royal wedding to forget about the issues around us. We can all think endlessly about the world issues like genocide, famine like you mentioned. But CAN WE REALLY do anything. We can all do our part like donate money and raise awareness, but if we think about all the bad things, where is the happiness in the world? OH and by the way World Vision is a corrupt foundation. None of the money donated goes to the people who need it.
