Constructive refocus

Present day media likes to talk about problems with corruption by others. It's also fond of summarizing the numbers of people killed and injured. Both of these items relate to the structure of bonds in a community i.e. of layered niches of responsibility, but they make no attempt to capture the whole picture.

The multiplicity of niche types that look in and out from the skin, family and culture of each individual does attempt to capture the whole picture. When a disaster occurs or a wall is built between cities, what does that do the connections between people involved? How are these connections impacted by changes in governmental policy?

Although there are simpler ways to score social injury, progress bringing niche-network layer multiplicity in a community up near six can be a robust measure of accomplishment as well. Hence a news focus on this broader picture of social impact is probably worth working on, even if we have to work through a few pitfalls of biased representation along the way. Suggestions invited...
