F2F Class Notes 28th October (Tanya)

Corrections

MIYA CORRECTED

I read on the news that something had happened to Kim Kardashian recently. She was robbed by some strangers in a hotel early this month.

After that, people started to discuss this online and some of them even made really mean comments about her, like “That’s your karma, because you always show off on social media. How couldn’t you be the target of stalkers? “. I even heard that someone said “It might be a conspiracy theory, she probably planned the whole crime in order to catch the public’s attention”, and they also found some evidence to prove their theory. From my perspective, if people have no idea about what happened, how can they say such hurtful words to someone else and judge them so easily?

I’m not a big fan of Kim Kardashian, but I still feel that it’s unfair to her. There have been so many people who ended their life because of insults these days. Be nice and consider seriously whether you should judge someone in that way.
