***As I previously stated, you can't go based on what people literally say because everyone's an awesome beacon of hope if you let them tell it.
I apply things to myself to avoid the age old trap of "speaking for others". But at the risk of speaking for others, I just can't believe the majority of people truly believe that Natalee, for instance, is genuinely more important than Suzy Q., who is an 18 year old missing girl that didn't make all As and has brown frizzy hair. Natalee's story might be more interesting and easier to relate to, but does that automatically mean people value her life more than their neighbor's?
