The reason why I decided to choose this article it’s that otherwise than numeric information it also talks about some moral issues that as a society I think we must avoid.

What I’m talking about it’s the “overreaction” of some people and the mass media of an event that happened in a developed country when, day by day, numerous of those incidents are happening all around the world and are not showed the same way.

The life of every and each person matters, and the fact it’s that some of this problems are not even being informed as what it really is. 

This is what happened with the enormous amount of people in different Asian countries that had suffered during this summer because of the floods, including the 1,000 dead people because of this natural incident.

We also have to take into account that even though we are talking about countries with less impact in our globalized world, we have to bring them support as well. And not because a country it’s more powerful than these others we don’t have to pay attention to those last ones.
