Racisms and health hazard

E-mail Print

DEAR EDITOR – In addition to my previous notes on alerting the nation on the importance of how we as a nation got to relate ourselves with other countries on our daily news. 

Here are some jargons to take note of.

Whether it is through print media, radio stations, or even television, please take note that we are all liable to any critics laid against us. 

Why I’m so curious about this is because, if we are not careful on this, it will result in the war of racism, believe me or not but this is how it will work. 

Take for instance, how if they say, Melanesian girls found in prostitution. How do the Melanesian countries feel?

Please, I do encourage you to hunt for information but please be mindful on how you relate your stories.  

As journalists, you must be fair and balance on the reports you made.

On the other hand, thank you media for your fine job in awaking our nation on this issue.

In fact, if our government is not careful on these kinds of practices, then it will result in the biggest health hazard to our country in the near future.

Please take your guess which country would take the lead in the world’s latest report on confirm HIV positive cases. 

It is China, according to the World Health Organisation.

Therefore, responsible authorities must take a step to monitor the situation before it’s out of control.
