We Are All Human

Singers, Chris Brown and Rihanna, who were formally dating had an altercation. The altercation resulted in Rihanna being physically abused by Chris Brown. They were both shown on the news, discussed on the radio, and several articles were published in magazines and newspapers. Furthermore, this situation became the most discussed topic globally. Although situations like this appear to happen on a daily basis, it was a shock to many when this circumstance took place. Unlike many others, I am not sure why it was surprising to hear that this situation had occurred.





Chris Brown and Rihanna are both human beings. In other words, no one is perfect. I am not saying that Chris Brown is not wrong for putting his hands on a female. However, I am saying that everyone makes mistakes: singers, actors, you name any person-they have made a mistake. I am tired of people making it seem as though celebrities are higher and more superior than those who are inconspicuous. People are abused daily. However, abuse does not become an issue until it involves those who are widely known. Think about it. There was even a movie made about Tina Turner's abuse. Whereas, when those who are obscure are being physically abused, it is like we are saying, "so what?" On the other hand, when anything happens to those who are notable to many: it is shown on the t.v, the Internet,heard about on the radio, and written about in magazines and newspapers. This part, I don't understand.
