How news is perceived:A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York . Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog ..He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers:
"Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl"
The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!"
"Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
'Brave American saves life of little girl'" the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" - says the man.
"Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: - "I am a Pakistani!"
