RE: #AIR-CLINIC PUBLIC FORUM 11: Why Do On-Lookers Rather Take Selfies While Someone Is Dying In An Emergency Situation?
It is rather appalling that humanity has degraded to this level, where people no longer feel the pains of others and would rather take pictures than help victims. One of the reason for this is as a result of the way we have been engrossed in social media where those who share news first make more money or earn thumbs up.
Secondly is because, there are risks of being arrested by some charlatan security agents. You may e end be accused for murder if the victim doesn't survive. So people would rather steer clear.
I however think that these problems can be solved by proper orientation and reorientation of the populace and security agents. It should be a crime for people other than assigned journalist to take pictures in accident scenes, and the security operatives should learn to investigate properly to reduce the probability of arresting innocent good Sa
