Humankind is at a distinct disadvantage, at least in terms of physical ability. Pretty much every animal of comparable mass has a distinct advantage in speed, strength, or natural weapons. Even among the great apes, humanity is weak. The chimp, which is much smaller than a human being, is around one and one half times stronger than a full grown man. But what humanity does have is its brain. It got this brain because evolution decided that humankind should have increased intelligence in exchange for muscular development. Of course, this intellect require stimulation, and reading Arab news online is a great way to get that stimulation.
The thing about the news is that it is something that a lot of people keep up with. This is because for some of them, it just plain entertainment, something to do to keep their mind stimulated and fill their time. Other people, on the other hand, are in professions in which they must understand what is going on in the world.
The reasons that people go online to get their fill of the news for the day is easy. People are tribal, so they are going to want to get information from sources who already agree with them. It also more convenient to just go online instead of waiting for a broadcast or a newspaper.
Reading or watching. That is how people consume their media. Most websites on the internet will have content that can be either read or viewed by their visitors.
The thing about the internet is that basically anyone can put stuff on it. This leads to the problem of fake news. This is when stories that are not verified as being factually accurate, or outright untrue, are consumed by the very people who seek to expand their minds. There really is no way to combat this, as the sheer number of people online means that the charlatans are always going to have a fanbase.
News used to spread by people telling their social circle about a certain story and then hoping that the members of their social circle will check the story out for themselves. This is how it works in the modern day. However, modernity has made things go much faster. Which means that even the stuff that is not at all true can spread about.
Unfortunate as it is, there are places in the world where the public is more readily incline to believe the worst news stories. That is the way of the world. Some places, and the individuals who live in them, are going to be seen as a little bit more savage than others.
But some places really are that bad. Crowds out shopping can get taken out by a single bomber with an explosive vest. A young girl can get shot because their parents deigned to educate them enough as not to be illiterate.
The planet can be rather cruel. It can be harsh. Keeping up with that harshness can be exhausting. But it can be done.
