Maybe I'm A Little Harsh..

During the Thanksgiving weekend American actor, Paul Walker, lost his life in a tragic car accident in California. It's a terrible loss, considering that Walker contributed positively to society and leaves behind a family.On almost every media outlet, the news of Walker's passing is posted; visit Facebook or Instagram or even Twitter and you're bound to see at least one post about Walker. I enjoyed Walker as an actor and believed him to be a nice guy, so don't misunderstand me when I say that I think the media and our society are over-doing his death. Paul Walker was one of those actors that would be spoken about for a few weeks after a movie of his premiered and then he wouldn't be heard about until the next movie. In the car accident, Walker was accompanied by Roger Rodus, a person who most don't even know died as well. Is Walker receiving all this publicity just because he was famous? Just because he was voted #4 by Glamour Magazine in their 50 Sexiest Men of 2010 issue? I simply can't understand why society is focusing so much on one death when people fighting in wars are dying constantly; people all over the world are dying. Roger Rodus died just as Walker, but yet his death receives very little focus. Was he not as great of a human being as Walker? Like I said early, don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that society shouldn't mourn deaths or that society shouldn't mourn Walker's death in particular. I'm simply stating that the same attention should be placed on other deaths as well, such as Roger Rodus' death. I just believe that every death deserves the same amount of respect and attention.
