Perhaps being rational is relating a reason for a certain action . It is
the act of trying to put meaning on an occurrence by which the details ,
the actions and the responses are being noted to make a sound
conclusion . On the other hand , the term pathological implies that
something is unreasonable or uncontrollable . When both terms are
combined , it would simply mean extreme reasoning or uncontrollable act
of putting reasons for a certain act .
A situation wherein pathological reasoning is observed is when
celebrities like Paris Hilton , Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are
being followed by the media men only to cite their day to day activities
that had caused them to be sued , imprisoned or accused of certain crimes
that I think are not significant to the society of America or even the
showbiz world . Like when Britney Spears shoved off her hair and when
Paris Hilton was imprisoned because of disobeying traffic rules , I was
thinking , what was with it that is worth the time and effort of the
media men and its audience ? Is it just for the laughter or do these
media people recognize that there is more need in making the youth aware
of their responsibilities to the state . All throughout the world , the
media had been reiterating the situations of the three only to let the
others know how tragic these young stars had evolved . For all we know ,
these three have been in the industry for so long , that their teenage
and child lives had been opened to the public , and now , the media
portrays that these ``innocent-before ' faces can go astray . The media
only gives the youth the idea of becoming wild , law breakers and for
some overly liberated women .
If I am to be ask on what to so with these , it can be a good solution
that the media features people that are with good background in order to
enlighten the youth 's mind that they will be able to know the right
things to do growing up and being given greater responsibilities as
their age are being increased . Instead of featuring blunt and bad
personalities , I think it will be better if there will be more issues on
personalities that do charity works and other noble works .
