megastar, learn, logical, diverse

The incident involving Hollywood megastar Will Smith hitting Chris Rock is still fresh in our minds. This incident stemmed from Chris's ill-advised joke about Will's wife, Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia areata, resulting in hair loss. Chris should have been mindful that people come from diverse backgrounds, especially in terms of physical conditions. On the other hand, Will should have learned to employ logical thinking to consider the consequences of violence, instead of being deprived of future movie opportunities.
