The Media
Words: 452 - Pages: 2.... another country to
find some story on miserable people. If I was in some tribe in Africa or
something I would not want anyone bothering me by putting a camera in my face.

my story for filler, I wouldn't be too happy.
It should be the tribe's leader that should have to get the tribe out of
trouble in any way that he could. It is not our business to send them our money

media isn't telling people the whole story. .....

What Are Morals?
Words: 749 - Pages: 3.... a struggling person in
the hall, that is based on your morals. When you decide to turn down a
brewsky because you believe that drinking is wrong, that is morals. When
