Ebola and the Fear-Mongering Media

B ULLYING

Continued  from  Page  1 In  high  school,  I  was  bullied  about  my  hair  and  how  it  was  so  big  and  so  curly  and  not  like  every-­ body  elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hair,â&#x20AC;?  Rodriguez  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  I  grew  up  hating  my  hair  and  straightening  it,  trying  to  be  like  everyone  else.â&#x20AC;?  If  students  on  campus  experience  bullying,  they  are  advised  to  seek  help  from  Counseling  and  Psychological  Services  (CAPS)  or  contact  Jeff  Klaus,  the  Dean  of  Students,  directly.  Carol  Roberts-­Corb,  the  housing  director  on  campus,  said  there  has  been  no  documented  com-­ plaint  of  bullying  in  the  dorms  so  far  this  semes-­ ter.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;From  my  general  experience  working  with  various  colleges,  Cal  State  Long  Beach  students  are  good  at  being  respectful  of  people  that  may  be  different  from  them,â&#x20AC;?  Roberts-­Corb  said.

5REHUWV &RUE DOVR VDLG WKH KRXVLQJ RIÂżFH HQ-­ forces  campus  regulations  on  bullying  and  ha-­ rassment.  As  of  August  2014,  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;student  anti-­bullyingâ&#x20AC;?  policy  has  been  in  place  at  CSULB.  Previous  poli-­ cies  had  already  been  able  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;deal  withâ&#x20AC;?  bullying  issues,  Klaus  said.

Regulation  19,  the  student  anti-­bullying  policy  states  that  CSULB  â&#x20AC;&#x153;believes  that  all  students  have  a  r ight  to  a  safe  and  healthy  learning  environment.  The  university  has  an  obligation  to  promote  civil-­ ity,  mutual  respect,  tolerance  and  acceptance.â&#x20AC;? Âł7KLV LV RXU ZD\ DV D VFKRRO WR WDNH D ÂżUP stand  against  bullying  and  that  we  will  not  toler-­ ate  it,â&#x20AC;?  Klaus  said.  Klaus  said  that  in  general,  CSULB  does  not  have  an  issue  of  bullying  â&#x20AC;&#x153;in  large  volume,â&#x20AC;?  but  that  even  one  bullied  student  is  one  too  many.

Buhler-­Scott  said  that  the  lack  of  participants  at  Unite  Against  Bullying  could  be  due  to  the  PLQLPDO IRRW WUDIÂżF RQ WKH VRXWKZHVW WHUUDFH EXW that  ultimately  she  was  happy  with  the  turnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even  if  just  one  student  learned  something  to-­ day,  the  event  was  a  success,â&#x20AC;?  Bugler-­Scott  said.

bola sells.

Not the disease, but the fears behind it. The media is making Ebola out to be the next big bad thing that will eliminate the population and turn reality into an episode of The Walking Dead.

Ebola is not a population-wiping virus that turns everyone into walking zombies.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a virus that can be contracted by people who have weak immune systems; it only affects certain individuals, not all.

During a recent Fox News segment, reporter Neil Cavuto interviewed Dr. Gil Mobley of Missouri regarding the Ebola outbreak. The segment ended with Dr. Mobley exclaiming that â&#x20AC;&#x153;people need to be scared.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, Fox News is notoriously conservative and is often criticized for how it deals with certain news stories. Though, if you were to tune into any news outlets right now, an Ebola scaremongering story would undoubtedly pop up.

Ebola is a horrible virus that is increasing its casualties each and everyday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a horrible disease that does kill people in a highly painful matter. Ebola is a real outbreak that is gravely affecting individuals in third-world

advertisement revenue. Money is the backbone of media outletsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Ebola brings in money.

Scaremongering tactics are realâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it is happening right now.

Americans shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic about Ebola: Firstly, Ebola is not as contagious as the media is portraying it to be; Ebola is not the common coldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it cannot easily fly through the air, and it is only transmitted through contact with bodily fluids.

Additionally, Ebola can be diverted using commonsense hygiene. Practices used to divert the common cold can be used in avoiding the Ebola virusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as washing your hands and covering your mouth when coughing.

Finally, doctors do know how the virus works. Indeed, there is no cure or vaccine, but doctors do know how to control the disease.

Ebola is not a mythical disease that the medical community has never heard of, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around for decades. There are dedicated centers in the United States that specialize in containing the virus and comfortably treating infected patients.

The  media  is  using  the  appeal  of  Ebola  to  gain  viewership,  readers  and  fans  by  harnessing  žÄ&#x17E;Ć&#x152;Ĺ?Ä?Ä&#x201A;Í&#x203A;Ć?

But there is no need to panic. Precautions have already been established even prior to coverage by the mass media.

The media focusing on Ebola does nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; it only creates unnecessary fear. There are far more other important news stories out there that the media should be focusing on. These include ISIS, unemployment, developments on gay marriage at the Supreme Court, and the stalling of Obamacare, which affects everyone in this country.

The media is using the appeal of Ebola to gain viewership, readers and fans by harnessing Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective fears about a massive epidemic. Why? Fear promotes viewership, which translates into higher

T

he  sounds  of  the  politi-­ cal  drums  in  favor  of  raising  the  minimum  wage  are  deafen-­ ing.  Although  the  idea  of  hiking  up  the  minimum  wage  enjoys  wide  support  among  the  populace  (a  2013  Gallup  showed  that  76  percent  of  Americas  support  raising  the  federal  minimum  wage),  it  will  substantially  hinder  the  very  goals  it  seeks  to  accomplish.  Namely,  it  will  burden  the  most  vul-­ nerable  segments  of  our  society,  such  as  low-­skill  workers,  the  youth  and  minorities.  Instead  of  helping  these Â

people,  raising  the  minimum  wage  will  unfairly  burden  them  by  hamper-­ ing  job  creation,  pushing  them  into  unemployment  and  preventing  teens  and  young  adults  from  entering  the  workforce.

Raising  the  minimum  wage  raises  serious  questions  regarding  the  XWLOLWDULDQ HWKLFV RI VDFULÂżFLQJ WKH LQ-­ WHUHVWV RI WKH IHZ WR EHQHÂżW WKH PDQ\ by  this,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  referring  to  those  who  will  be  pushed  into  unemployment  as  opposed  to  those  who  will  keep  their  jobs  and  make  more  money.  Although  a  recent  report  by  the  Congressional  %XGJHW 2IÂżFH IRXQG WKDW UDLVLQJ WKH

minimum  wage  to  $10.10  by  2016  would  move  approximately  900,000  above  the  poverty  line,  it  also  pre-­ dicted  that  this  increase  would  reduce  employment  by  500,000  workers  by  the  end  of  2016.  6KRXOG ZH VDFUL¿FH WKH LQWHUHVWV of  the  500,000  for  the  sake  of  the  900,000?  Although  the  enlight-­ enment-­era  philosopher  Jeremy  Bentham  would  argue  that  the  sum-­ PXP ERQXP RU WKH ³KLJKHVW JRRG´ can  be  accomplished  by  policies  that  produce  the  greatest  good  for  the  greatest  number  of  people,  I  would  argue  that  this  line  of  logic  danger-­ ously  places  the  few  at  the  peril  of  the  whims  of  many.

Additionally,  the  means  employed  here  (forcing  businesses  to  foot  the  bill)  to  reach  the  goal  of  establish-­ ing  a  higher  standard  of  living  for  the  poor  is  unethical  for  the  same  reason.

Although  the  aim  of  increasing  the  standard  of  living  is  desirable,  the  means  used  to  actualize  this  taints  the  end  goal  by  transforming  it  into  the  fruit  of  the  poisonous  tree.  If  we  are  the  ones  demanding  for  higher  wages,  then  we  also  need  to  be  the  ones  paying  for  it.

Luckily,  there  is  a  mechanism  that  employs  more  ethical  means  to  pro-­ vide  for  those  who  occupy  the  lowest  rung  of  Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  socio-­economic  ladder:  Earned  Income  Tax  Credit  (EITC).  It  operates  by  providing  a  tax  refund  for  low-­income  workers, Â

especially  those  with  children.  Ac-­ cording  to  a  report  by  the  IRS,  the  EITC  successfully  lifted  7  million  Americans  above  the  poverty  line  in  2009,  which  is  far  greater  than  the  900,000  estimated  for  President  Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  $10.10  plan.  EITC  is  also  substantially  more  effective  at  targeting  those  who  so  desperately  need  economic  relief.  0DQ\ RI WKRVH ZKR VWDQG WR EHQHÂżW from  minimum  wage  increases  are  not  exactly  in  dire  economic  straits;Íž  for  example,  Bill  Gatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  son  would  receive  the  monetary  stimulus  under  minimum  wage  laws.  In  contrast,  EITC  targets  only  the  bottom  wage  earners  who  make  less  than  about  $46,000  per  year  (this  is  the  maxi-­ mum  possible  if  you  have  three  or  more  children);Íž  furthermore,  the  pay-­ out  adjusts  based  on  marital  status  and  the  number  of  dependents.

Expanding  EITC,  especially  for  those  without  children,  would  be  a  much  more  effective  and  ethical  way  of  alleviating  poverty  than  minimum  wage  increases.

Minimum  wage  laws  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  while  advertised  under  the  banner  of  income  inequality,  social  justice  and  fairness  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  do  not  meet  the  mark;Íž  furthermore,  minimum  wage  laws  compromise  the  very  goals  they  seek  to  obtain.   Instead  of  raising  the  bar  for  the  minimum  standard  of  living,  minimum  wage  laws  push  individu-­ als  into  unemployment,  hamper  job  creation  and  hinder  the  ability  of  teens  to  enter  the  workforce.
