Article of the Week

       This week's article is entitled,"Death by Selfie." The article shares that more people have been killed taking a selfie than by shark attacks in the past year. Some deaths have been caused by photo-takers falling off cliffs, crashing cars, being hit by trains, and shooting themselves while posing with guns. These events have gotten so bad that countries have banned the use of selfie taking like Mumbai and Pamplona. This article is significant in today's society because people are killing themselves to get the "perfect" picture. They are willing to risk their lives and the lives of others to save that one epic moment. No selfie or photo is that important to put your life in danger. It is very baffling to see that individuals don't realize how foolish their decisions can be. It is okay to take a nice selfie, but when people are dying just to get the coolest pic, a selfie is not worth it.
