Ahoofe, I have tended to agree with your view point on issues that you raise. But on this matter your suggestion that Asew Kwansima is uneducated in the present modes of communication misses the point. I believe that even in your part of the world such wanton disregard of the sensitivities of family and close relations in the reporting of death is frowned upon. The US Army for example has a strict code of conduct in the reporting of the loss of its men to their families. The fact that such bad behavior has become rampant does not make it right. I believe it was for good that God sought to divide us at Babel with language barriers. The swiftness and pervasive nature of communication in the present world order bodes good as well as bad. In the hands of the evil minded great physical and psychological harm can be unleashed upon humankind. Caution and extreme caution is needed. For example the current migrant crisis is to a large extent fueled by communication. Man, like sheep, is succeptible to the band-wagon effect. Information can be used both to create panic or unwind panic. We walk a thin line in this information age.

I agree with you for the most part, Mr. Kwansah, except for the fact that you woefully fail to appreciate the fact that the global media is not as institutionally cohesive and clearly defined as the United States' Armed Forces. There is no central command post or authority in global media culture and the structure of the ubiquitous social-network technology.
