In the hours after the deadly terror attack in Paris, France, Facebook and Twitter were filled with signs of support for France. People posted old photos of themselves in front of the Eiffel Tower. Others said they were praying for Paris. Profile picture after profile picture was overlaid with the red, white and blue of the French flag.
Then suddenly a story about another terror attack popped up. This time the attack was in Kenya.
"Man, what's happening with the world right now?" one Facebook user wrote.
"147 dead in terrorist attack on Kenya college," actress Bex Taylor-Klaus tweeted. "Hate consumes and destroys."
Older Tragedy Plays Out As New Attack
One British Broadcasting Corp. article on the attack was linked to over and over again. The date on the story? April 3, 2015.
It is impossible to tell how this article started making the rounds of the Internet seven months after it was published. The story within is as horrifying as the ghastly events in Paris: 148 people were killed by al-Shabab militants who stormed the dormitories of Garissa University College in a siege that lasted 15 hours. For those who skimmed past the date, it seemed like another unfolding story of horror and death.
It was posted so many times that "Kenya" began to trend on popularity-tracking websites like Alexa.com.
Why Didn't We Tweet About Kenya?
The eventual awareness that the story was published in April triggered a more somber realization: There had been no grand social media response to the earlier terror attack.
In fact, this old article was clearly the first time many people were hearing about it.
Comparing levels of outrage in response to tragic news is nothing new. It is happening right now in reference to the bloody attack in Beirut, Lebanon, that happened the day before the attack in Paris. The same extremist group, Islamic State, or ISIS, was responsible for both attacks, though few people noticed the Beirut attack. Islamic State is trying to set up its own country governed by Islamic law and has already captured parts of Syria and Iraq.
The Black Lives Matter movement has brought attention to the media's uneven and unequal coverage, which gives much more attention to some deaths than it does to others. The same has been said for years in reference to missing persons cases. Cases involving missing young white women always seem to receive the most attention, media critics say.
How Do We Explain What Goes Viral?
What gets covered and why is an issue complicated enough to take up entire college courses, but here is what seems clear: People are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close. They are also more likely to show their concern if everyone else is doing the same.
Just think about what happens when a Facebook friend passes away, said Boston College's Kelly Rossetto, who studies the way grief is expressed on social media. Mourners write on the person's wall and change their profile pictures to old photos of them together. They fill their statuses with "RIP" and "praying for you." The more posts we see, the more pressure there is to post our own.
"Watching the waves of everyone else grieving can make you feel guilty," Rossetto said. "If you're not changing your profile picture, if you're not posting a message — you start to question your own grief response."
Americans And Their Affection For Paris
Many Americans have personal connections to Paris. They may have vacationed there or know people who live there. Thus, they are more affected when Paris is hit by tragedy, just as they would be when a friend dies. Even those who have never set foot in France have traveled there through books, TV shows and movies.
After the attacks on Paris, a chain of events unfolded on social media that resembled what happens when a friend dies: Profile pictures changed to those Eiffel Tower selfies, statuses were posted and a "peace for Paris" symbol went viral. Others saw those pictures and statuses, then were asked by Facebook to "Change your profile picture to support France and the people of Paris." Soon, a widespread and heartfelt response to a horrible event became visible for all to see.
Many fewer Americans have traveled to Kenya or Beirut than to Paris. However, just because we do not have vacation photos taken in those places we do not get to ignore the horrible killings they have endured.
Deep down, everyone knows that.
So what can a person do in an instant to show they care? Share a link, even if it is 7 months old.
I do agree that Paris got a lot more attention than Kenya. It is true that "many Americans have personal connections to Paris" because it is a very popular place to travel and we don't have a very strong connection to Kenya (Washington Post). I do believe that it was tragic and it should get attention but it did not travel over here as fast. Only people that have a connection with Kenya found out first and said something. Both are very sad and should not be ignored.
ReplyDeleteI also agree. Personally, I only knew about the Paris attacks until now. The Paris attack was all over social media and I have not even seen one post about Kenya. "After the attacks on Paris, a chain of events unfolded on social media that resembled what happens when a friend dies: Profile pictures changed to those Eiffel Tower selfies, statuses were posted and a "peace for Paris" symbol went viral. Others saw those pictures and statuses, then were asked by Facebook to "Change your profile picture to support France and the people of Paris." Soon, a widespread and heartfelt response to a horrible event became visible for all to see.". I think we should draw more attention equally to all attacks.
DeleteParis did get much more attention than Kenya. I think this is the case because France is our friend and that is why it got more attention. As stated in the fourth paragraph,"How Do We Explain What Goes Viral?". It is true that we can not control what goes viral. To be honest I think everyone can see why the Paris attacks went more viral. France is a huge country and has a bigger presence than Kenya. While I do think every terror act should be handled the same way, I don't see how some people don't understand that that's the reason.
ReplyDeleteParis did get a lot more attention than Kenya did. I did not even know about the tragedy in Kenya. This is most likely because Paris is like a national monumental city because of the Eiffel Tower. The article says, "many Americans have personal connections to Paris" (Washington Post) which is true and is also the reason many Americans did not know about Kenya because we don't have the same connections. I do believe that one is not more important than another but i understand why the tragedy in Paris was known before the one in Kenya.

Paris got a lot more attention did Kenya did, considering i haven't even heard about Kenya before reading this. I personally feel Paris got the bigger portion of attention because it is a popular place, and its somewhere people have more connections with them more than Kenya. Both events were tragic and regardless of whether Paris or Kenya is more popular, both should have equal amount of attention.
ReplyDeleteParagraph 15 states "Many Americans have personal connections to Paris", Its sad the Kenya attack did not receive as much attention as the Paris attack. Paris is a more popular tourist site for Americans so there are more relationships with Paris. Right away when the Paris attacks hit it was hard to not find out because it went viral on the media. Honestly I am just now finding out about the Kenya attack. Although we don't necessarily have a close of a relationship with Kenya, what happened is horrible and should of received more attention.

ReplyDeleteI agree that Paris got more attention that Kenya. I had never heard about the Kenya attacks until now. I think that people didn't know as much about Kenya because "many Americans have personal connections to Paris" and "Many fewer Americans have traveled to Kenya or Beirut than to Paris" (Washington Post). I think this is true because many people have gone to Paris or have friends there. Its not good that many people did not know about Kenya as they both should have received the same amount of attention.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Paris got a lot more attention than Kenya did. It could have been from the fact that it is the home of tourists. It could have also been from the fact that "many Americans have personal connections to Paris" and not Kenya (Washington Post). Whichever thing it was, it is wrong that Paris got more support just because they are a more popular city.

After reading this article titled "Opinion: Kenya attack was off our radar — until beloved Paris was hit," I am shocked to hear about the terrorist attacks in Kenya. I was not aware of any violence occuring in Kenya. It does not surprise me that "There had been no grand social media response to the earlier terror attack," (Washington Post para. 8). I think that I was not aware of the terrorist attacks in Kenya because there was no social media blasts about it because everyone was too focused with the terrorists attacks on Paris. I do agree with the opinion that the Kenya attack was off the radar because the Paris attacks were on the radar.

Paris did get far more attention than Kenya. I believe this is because,"Many Americans have personal connections to Paris. They may have vacationed there or know people who live there" (Washington Post). Paris is a far more visited place than Kenya. I believe that is the reason that the attacks on Paris stood out more than the attacks in Kenya. Both of these attacks should receive the same amount of attention.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that there was a terrorist attack in Kenya. Their reasons for why Paris got more attention than Kenya seemed true. I agree that more people have traveled to France, rather than Kenya; however, I think the media should have exposed the attack more as well. “People are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close” (Washington Post). I saw little to no exposure of the Kenyan attacks than I did from the attacks in Paris. The closing remark of this article was powerful, and I think we owe it to Kenya to expose to the rest of the world what happened.

This article is very relevant because the news about the Paris attack was soon all over social media. On the the hand, I had not seen anything about the attacks in Kenya. I think it is true that the Paris attacks got more attention on social media than the Kenya attacks because "many Americans have personal connections to Paris" (Washington Post). Paris is a very loved city because it is a common dream to travel there and "Even those who have never set foot in France have traveled there through books, TV shows and movies” (Washington Post). This does not make Kenya’s attacks any less devastating than the ones in Paris. Paris is a more popular travel location, and I think that is the reason it got more attention on social media.
ReplyDeleteOlivia Lasecke, Period 2
I have to say that I did not even hear of the Kenya attack until I read this post but it is unbelievable how no one posted anything about it like hundreds did for Pairs. I think maybe people did not post anything because more people would rather got to Paris and not Kenya. Like it said, "Many Americans have personal connections to Paris"(Washington Post). Or maybe now people are just getting used to others bombing each other. Even though more things are to Paris more, Kenya should not be treated like nothing happened because they lost family, friends too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not fair that Kenya didn't get any attention about the attack. Most people probably don't even know Kenya got attacked , because it didn't go viral on any social media. Many countries get attack that will never go viral , because it's not a tourist country or there's no personal connections to it. It's wrong that we live in a world where countries get attacked and some don't get the attention they deserve.Both countries suffered a tragedy. Kenya's tragedy was just as important as the tragedy in Paris.

Until now I was never aware of the attacks on Kenya. Paris is a very well known destination so social media went crazy when its beloved Paris got attacked. Kenya on the other hand is not very well known and for most isn't a desired place to visit; this caused the attacks to not be as well known as the Paris attacks. "Many Americans have personal connections to Paris" which is what I believed made the Paris attacks so popular. Needless to say, the attacks on Kenya should have received the same empathy as Paris did because they both went through the same hardships.
ReplyDeleteI was not aware of the Kenya attacks until reading this. For that reason, I would say that Paris received a lot more attention than Kenya. One factor in that is social media. As said in the article, people have more connections with Paris since it is a common place to vacation. Since so many people have that connection and share it over social media, that is probably the reason why the spotlight was put on Paris. I think that both attacks, and all attacks for that matter, should be acknowledged because all problems are relative.
ReplyDeleteHannah Miller, p2
I agree with this article as I knew about other attacks and shootings. However, I did not know about specific events and when I checked my phone after marching band, everyone posted the same picture of Paris and changed their profile pictures. "People are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close" (Washington Post). This is very true to the attacks that happened. I wish the other countries got as much sympathy and support as Paris did. Reading this now I feel even worse for the other countries that were not recognized as much.

Since Kenya didn't receive as much attention as Paris not many people didn't hear about this attack. It is not fair that Kenya did not receive as much attention as Paris because they are the same exact things. But at the same time Many Americans travel to Paris rather than to Kenya and when they saw the Paris headline it caught their attention rather than Kenya "because it is a very popular place to travel and we don't have a very strong connection to Kenya" (Washington Post) P.2
ReplyDeletei did not here about the kenya attacks until i was reading this article. The paris attack was well known all around the world. not many people where aware of the attacks on kenya as much as i heard of the paris attack. I believe that many people cared more about paris because it is a well known place. but i believe that every place deserves are respect and support
ReplyDeleteWhen the recent Paris attacks took place, news about the event was shown all over social media. People were showing concern through retweets and posts. I, personally, knew about the horrific terrorist attack within a couple hours of the occurrence. Which makes it even worse that this article is the first time I have heard about the Kenya attack. So yes, Paris gained much more support and attention, and I believe this is because it is an extremely popular place, and is known widely throughout the US. Wh the Kenya terrorist attck took place, "there had been no grand social media response" (Washington Post).
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article and what everybody else is saying that the attacks should not be happening. "People are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close" (Washington Post). I agree with this quote because people only care what is happening close to them and because Paris is such a popular vacation place. I also disagree because many people innocent people still died and they don't get the same recognition only because they aren't a popular vacation spot. So all in all Countries that have been attacked should have the same recognition no matter what.
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that Paris would receive more attention due to the personal connection many Americans have to France. With that plus bandwagons and guilt trips jumpig on board, Paris will be more prominent in the media. It's sad that some of these attacks are basically being ignored but it is even worse that they are happening in the first place. Social media is a big influence and how many people get their news so word of other attacks should receive "grand social media response."
ReplyDeleteOften times in the world we only see the big picture rather than the same smaller scale issues and problems. Paris is a very popular place so when the terrorist attacks happened everyone was well informed. Paris is loved by many, not implying that Kenya isn't but rather that it isn't as connected to our country due to personal ties. "People are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close"-(Washington Post). Regardless of how big or small a region is or how well liked it is we as citizens should always get informed because this is a time where countries should be standing with each other against terrorism. We should work to have all the terrorist attacks everywhere displayed on media, in hopes that we can unite together to get rid of this escalating problem that is becoming more and more prevalent. - Sabrina Shaw Per. 4
ReplyDeleteBefore reading this article I was not aware of the Kenya attacks. As we all know, Paris is a huge tourist attraction while Kenya is not heard or talked about much. Social media is an important factor in the way information and news is spread. That is how I found out about the shooting in Paris and it's unfortunate that Kenya was so downgraded while Paris was known all over the world.
ReplyDeleteI think that Kenya's attack was as big Paris's terror attacks but, people didn't know they were being attacked because of Paris. I think this is important to worry about brcause another country got attached and it seemed like it wasn't a big deal. Kenya isn't a big country that has too many conflicts with other regions so that could be a reason why. The thought of not many people worrying about this is concerning. Brandon Marshall period 4
ReplyDeleteI do agree that Paris is obviously getting much more attention and recognition than Kenya or Beirut. Just because Paris is visited more, does not mean that Kenya and Beirut are any less important. They deserve the same amount of support. I do agree with the quote, "Many Americans have personal connections to Paris." (Washington Post) People, I think, do become connected to a place once they have visited it. We, as a nation, country, and world, need to pray for Kenya and pray for Beirut.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Paris should have gotten the recognition that it did, its a shame that their seemed to be close to none recognition regarding the Kenyan attack though. Paris is a very popular and well-known place but the news stations and media should not have made this a popularity contest. When people finally found out that there were "147 dead in attack at Kenyan college" (Bex Taylor-Klaus), it was too late and happened way before anyone had much notice about it. This shouldn't be like this and our newscasting and media teams need to inform us about everything, not just the more popular place.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading article, I feel sorry for what happened in France and Kenya. The quote "Why Didn't We Tweet About Kenya?" (Washington Post) I understand why some people would show support for France then Kenya, in the article it says "Many Americans have personal connections to Paris. They may have vacationed there or know people who live there. Thus, they are more affected when Paris is hit by tragedy, just as they would be when a friend dies. Even those who have never set foot in France have traveled there through books, TV shows and movies." ( Washington Post) this quote is pretty much self-explanatory and the previous quote, another reason in my opinion, is I think some people aren't aware of it until the next day or so, but one thing is we have smartphones, computers, and laptops. We have the technology to easily look up what's on the news, but some people aren't that interested unless it's something like the bombing in Parris. Overall some people should really be aware of what is happening around the world.
ReplyDeleteI think that Paris got the correct recognition they deserved, but I also think that Kenya deserved just as much recognition as Paris. Before reading this article, I wasn't aware of what had happened in Kenya. I agree with the quote "Why Didn't We Tweet About Kenya?" (Washington Post) because it is a good point. The tragedy that happened there in Kenya should have been all over social media just as much as Paris was.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Paris got more attention than Kenya. Paris is loved by a lot of Americans because of vacations there and there are a lot of movies that take place in Paris. Paris also has a lot of history and has a lot of well known monuments and the city is beautiful in certain parts.

ReplyDeleteI can honestly say before reading this article, I had no idea what had happened in Kenya. Paris has had a lot more attention than Kenya has had and I don't think it's right. Many people died in both attacks, but why only show one and talk about one. We know Kenya is not a very visited place my tourists like Paris is but it still would be a fair thing to show what happened there too.
ReplyDeleteParis definitely got more notice than Kenya did, and I never even knew this took place. I couldn't agree more than Kenya should have got more notice and attention. The article states, "Why Didn't We Tweet About Kenya" (Washington Post)? To me, this just shows how Paris won the battle of favoritism and that Kenya is not as known. We must, as a country, pray for both Paris and Kenya and acknowledge the struggle as they did for us during 9/11.
ReplyDeleteBoth events that happened in Paris and Kenya were and are horrible. I think it's true in the article when it says " many Americans have personal connections to Paris" because probably a lot more Americans have been there or know people that have been there. Even though Paris is probably more popular in the U.S., the attack in Kenya needs to be treated the same and people should give the country the respects it needs at this time.

As stated quite clearly in the Article above, the attack in Paris was given much more attention in the media than the attack that occurred in Kenya and this seems, to me, quite unfair. Personally, I was surprised as I read through my fellow peers comments and discovered that more people were completely unaware of the Kenya attacks at all than those who knew it had occurred, and this doesn't make sense to me. The explanation given in the article was that, "Paris was closer to home" but that really should not matter in a case like this. An attack as terrible as those that occurred in Kenya and Paris should be given equal amount of attention and condolences by American people.

I think that the Paris attacks got a lot more attention than the Kenya ones. Until now I have never heard about those attacks. I don't think that the Kenya attacks were any less devestating than the Paris ones. They are both horrible things that should never happen to anyone. No one should have to go through what both country's went through.
ReplyDeleteSince Kenya didn't receive as much attention as Paris not many people heard about this attack. It is not fair that Kenya did not receive as much attention as Paris, they are the same amount of importance as any country. it doesn't matter which country has the most amount of people in it because people die all the same no matter the number. so i think it is really unfair how Kenya didn't get a whole lot of recognition for what happened to them.
ReplyDeleteThe events that took place in Paris and Kenya are devastating. I personally am sad and disappointed that we did not show equal support to both, Paris and Kenya. Both were struck with horrible tragedies, and it is upsetting to hear we somewhat "favored" Paris, over Kenya. Although the support and prayers for Paris were needed, we need to remember not to neglect other places in their time of need. Bad things happen every day, and we should do what we can to support everyone in any way possible.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying. I hate how the world is only mainly talking about Paris than Kenya why not discuss them both and give our support and prayers to them both. We need have people realize this can happen anywhere from Kenya to Paris and a life is a life and its sad how we are only talking about the ones taken in Paris and not about Kenya too both are sad but we need to help them both and make an example of them both from where in can happen anywhere.
DeleteThis is tragic what has happened to all those people, whether they were in Paris or somewhere else. It is interesting to think about how people react to these tragedies, and how peer pressure takes part in things like this. Social media is a good from of communication to use,and can be a wonderful place to reach out to those in need after something like this. The pain of these attacks will most likely never go away, but as was said, "Share a link, even if it is 7 months old," and that Is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteRecently so many mass shootings and attacks have been going on all around the world. Everyone needs to realize it can happen anywhere. To the places it already did, they need our support and to know that we care. Paris is a well know place which is why they got so much support and love after the attack. Just because people aren't as familiar with Kenya does not mean we should stop the support. People should care what is happening all around the world not just one area.
ReplyDeleteI find it sad how the world never knew about this horrific act. I personally did not. When I heard about the Paris I was heartbroken. I could not believe something like that could happen. Twitter erupted with support after the bombing "Profile picture after profile picture was overlaid with the red, white and blue of the French flag." ( Washington Post). I know that I was one of the people that did this. I feel like the world really needs to connect together during these acts of terrorism no matter what country it is.

These events that occurred in Paris and Kenya are horrible. I find it ridiculous that no one really knew about these Kenya attacks. I know I didn't know about it. When the Paris attacks happened I was shocked and heartbroken about this tragic event. All social media was trending with the Paris attacks and there were even filters about it. The Kenya attacks are also horrible and should not be minimized because of where it is. The world should stick together and work to fight and give support everywhere these terrorist attacks happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people are more familiar with the France incident. I actually just found out reading this about what happened to Kenya. I believe that the reason Americans making a bigger deal about France because they are more familiar with France rather then Kenya. We should support both "Many fewer Americans have traveled to Kenya or Beirut than to Paris" (Washington Post). This quote shows that Americans know more about France.

The massacre in Paris received a lot more media attention than the massacre in Kenya. Whether this is right or not, the fact is that Americans have closer connections to Paris for a number of reasons, including travel, familiarity, movies, and ancestors. However, even though the Americans have a close connection to Paris does not mean that other massacres throughout the world should not have similar focus, and “we do not get to ignore horrible killings they have endured(Washington Post).”
ReplyDeleteParis received MUCH more attention than Kenya. I think that because that part of France is better developed than anywhere in Kenya, the attacks in Paris seemed like a bigger deal. Paris is a city that, sadly, means a lot more to the world than a small university in Kenya. While I believe that the Kenya attacks were more devastating casualty wise, the Paris attacks meant much more on a global scale.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the statement that Paris was more well known about then Kenya. "People are are more likely to care about tragedies that hit people and places to which they feel close" (Washington Post). I heard so much about Paris and there attacks and I happened to hear about Kenya once for a brief two minutes. I barely knew what had happened until I looked into it and I well knew what had terribly happened in Paris. "Many fewer Americans have traveled to Kenya or Beirut than to Paris" (Washington Post). The reason this could have been also was because not very many people know where or what is Kenya and I'm sure various amounts of people have visited Paris or have planned to go. Although I do not think the Kenya attacks were any less devastating than the Paris attacks. They are both equal horrible things that happened that should never happen again. Period:4
ReplyDeleteIt is awful the things that happened in Paris. It is also kind of amazing that it helped to have a story found. It is an awful thing but it also kind of amazing. It showed the story of a much less traveled part of the world,"Many fewer Americans have traveled to Kenya or Beirut than to Paris" (Washington Post). It helps to inform people about other parts of the world. It was a tragedy but it also brought a good thing out of it.

ReplyDeleteI believe that the Kenya attack did not get enough news coverage. Yes, Paris was tragic. But, everyone is important. ISIS attacked the Kenyan people just like they did to the people of France. As Bex Tayolor-Klaus said, "hate consumes and destroys." The US must intervene with ISIS and unite France, Kenya, and the US as allies.
I agree with Cameron. Kenya should have been all over the news just like the Paris attack. I think that the general public thinks that Paris is a more important city than Kenya in the the first place and that is why not many people found out about the Kenya attack. They should unite and stand up to ISIS
DeleteI believe that these attacks are affecting both places equally. These attacks are just making people realize the hate that some will bring to the United States. Personally I have never heard of these attacks on Kenya but I do know about the Paris. But I believe that even though they are different places they still have the same result and revolt.
