Unit 1: Look at me Now! (2nd_gr2)

Deadly Selfies

A recording from NPR, an American radio.

People die taking pictures of themselves by trying to take the most impressive picture of themselves but they do not realize how close they are to the edge and they fall off to their deaths.

These selfies can be lucrative because on social media platforms, these selfies  can attract followers and sponsors. Moreover, they can generate likes and lots of views, and add more users to these social network platforms. Eventually, these selfies can be used as advertising for the different social media platforms to attract more users.

There were more than 200 selfie-reported deaths. 5 of them in the US.

Some reactions are vicious and lack of empathy because some people are convinced that it was the victims’ fault, and they should not have been so careless. They are judged as being stupid and narcissistic.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
