Sudan

The war that is going on in Sudan makes me feel extremely lucky and fortunate to live in America, a place of freedom, health, and beauty. However, our America is controlled by the media. Our views of the rest of the world are greatly influenced by the fact that the only things the media covers are negative events. The media has portrayed all of Africa, not only Sudan, as a place of death and famine. It is good to know about bad things that are happening so that we can help solve the problems, but my point is that we never really find out what happens after we help. We just see the bad things.
