As a Japanese self-claimed global businessman, the recent confrontation in Central Park in NY between Amy and Christian is eye-opening incident.
While it looks like "too much", it may be the current social trend in U.S.
==============
In the worldwide political and economical chaos brought by Covid-19 pandemic, very "mundane" confrontation in Central Park, NY, attracted the huge attention in America.
The incident was just daily quarrel regarding the leash of "Dog" between a dog owner and a bird watcher.
Of course, her behavior,calling to police on such trivial issue, was extreme but it looks like still daily confrontation.
Anyway, this confrontation is videotaped and spread to the public through TWEETER and , in result, Amy was seriously criticized by public and finally fired by her employer after this incident.
This is from CNN.
