For starters if you did not know the problems in the world around you, you would not be dragged into problems that are not your own and feel the need to solve them, have extra weight on your shoulders. Especially when media focuses so much on terror and war, which causes fear/terror. A terrorist is one who causes terror; lots of news channels are indirect terrorists, and without this outside influence you would not be struck down by this
If you did not know you would have much less problems and could be stress free, given that as it is television news is (generally) bad news, on the contrary when something did go wrong you may feel like your whole world is coming to an end.
Or, you could relate to the world around you and not be stressed knowing other people are going through similar, bigger things.
Letting things known globally by the general public in my opinion does not really help, because the average person only listens to news and does not respond. Letting us know only let’s the people in power know they should do something to meet status quo so we do not question their authenticity as good people (my personal view is that world leaders are not.) We worry about problems outside of our hands, by problems the government creates, and then acts as the Avenger Angel and look like the hero by solving a small amount of the huge problems they allow to occur.
Your thoughts?

I think in some cases it's bliss but not in others. Like if you're ignorant about what people think of you then it's a good thing because you're free to be yourself and be happy about who you are. I like being ingnorant in some areas too. I don't watch the news but the bad part of this is I'm always informed anyway. :(

I personally would be like ‘block all advertisements’ *clicks mute button on all people attempting to tell me problems I cannot solve* I’ve heard enough! I know already what your about to say, something bad happened.. ”and we can try to understand, New York Times effect on man, dadadadadadadada staying alive, staying alive”

I myself would rather know everything than to be ignorant so it wouldn't be bliss for me.
