The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 716 - 735 Call the Police Immediately (7)

The police couldn’t handle it.

Thinking this, Mia Ginger started to worry a bit.

Just as she was lost in thought, Mina Lee suddenly said, "They said a boy riding a bicycle in front of her hit the old lady and fled. She saw there was no way and called an ambulance to send the old lady to the hospital."

Windsor Myres and Mia Ginger both glanced at her in unison, the three of them exchanging looks.

"So stupid it’s unbelievable," Windsor Myres sneered, then simply lay down on the table for a nap.

Mia Ginger sighed, "I hope it’s nothing."

After all, during Monday’s class, the journalism teacher mentioned a societal news story from some time ago.

An old person fell on the street, and no one helped. Everyone was busy taking pictures and uploading videos.

This scene, once propagated by a media reporter, sparked quite a bit of discussion online.

Some people said: It’s not that we don’t want to help, we’re just afraid. Many elderly people are confused and once they grab hold of the person who helps them, they won’t let go.

Others said: Nowadays there are so many scams, who knows if they really fell or faked it, maybe they’re making a living from it.

More people said: Society has gone bad, everyone just takes care of themselves and ignores others.

In general—

Most netizens felt that it’s better not to help, just join the crowd for a spectacle, take photos and spread it online, all considered a good deed.

Why bother and exhaust yourself.

You might do a good deed and end up getting blamed, becoming the main culprit.

The risks outweigh the benefits.

At that time, Tong Tong passionately condemned those who took photos and watched the spectacle, eliciting laughter from the entire class.

The teacher also laughed because she had strayed from the topic.

Their journalism teacher mentioned this case because the journalist writing the news report showed too much personal bias, like Tong Tong, standing on a moral high ground, excessively condemning the onlookers with very sharp wording.

The teacher explained that journalists are not judges; a qualified journalist should first focus on disseminating, not judging.

When writing a news report, it’s best not to use emotionally charged adjectives for better accountability to the news.

What needs to be spread in news is objective fact, not subjective emotion.

A girl like Tong Tong should probably become a police officer; being a journalist isn’t quite suitable for her. While it’s right to sympathize with the weak, one must also realize that all social phenomena have their causes.

Younger people don’t dare to help, and it also has something to do with the elderly themselves.

It’s like giving up a seat on the bus, a young person works the night shift and goes home, then gives up the seat for the elderly person—this is kindness.

But—

If the elderly person, because they didn’t get a seat, hits someone over the head with scallions bought at the market, that’s the elderly person’s fault.

Helping others is a traditional virtue, the extent to which someone achieves it relates to personal cultivation.

You can do it, but you can’t force others to do it.

In journalism, you must be clearer on these matters than others, and just because you have the power of speech doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Having the power of speech means you must cherish and respect this right more, spread facts, and avoid incitement.

Tong Tong, laughed at by the entire class, asked the teacher, "Do you mean we shouldn’t help others?"

The teacher responded, "I’ve been talking about the journalist’s report for so long, and you’re still caught up in the question of whether to help; apparently, everything I said before was completely ignored."

The class burst into laughter again.

Mia Ginger laughed too, thinking that Tong Tong was rather cute.
