Boston Marathon Response

The world was hit hard, yet again when two bombs went off during The Boston Marathon on April 15 where 3 people lost their lives and over 150 people got injured. In my psychology class the day after the bombing, my professor asked how we felt about it. No one said anything about it. In fact no had any response at all. She was pretty disappointed that no one said it hadn't affected us, and that it killed her to see innocent people doing something they love either get hurt or have lost their life. I finally told her, it's not that we're not affected by it, it's more the thought that so much stuff has happened to us already it's like were used to tragedies, like were just expecting the next thing to happen to us and we shouldn't be. It is a sad thought that we can't go but only a few months without a school getting shot up or bombs going off. It makes you think when is the next thing going to happen. She said, "You are right and that it is sad that we live in a world that we can't even feel safe at a marathon event." I agree with her. It is unfortunate that some people don't feel safe going to school, or even the movies anymore. What has our world come to that has us so afraid now? But what makes this even worse is when people say the government is behind all this and is making it up. Just like the Sandy Hook shooting they're saying it's all a conspiracy theory.
