Everyday
on the television news the news journalists use the word tragedy and they are
killing the word. In fact they use it so
much I don’t really know what they mean by it.
A tragedy refers to a preventable event caused by hubris and or by fate
as I learned though literature classes.
A news journalist does not know enough personal information about
person’s life to know this.
Even
dictionary.com doesn't get to what is probably the newscaster’s definition of
the word until the 5th and 6th entry. Dictionary.com is written by word people
though, so they understand these things.
I could never be a news journalist probably for this reason. I’d prefer to say horrible ordeal.
