Diversity

Social Media

Diversity and inclusion initiatives support the realization that everyone is different. As we start to communicate with each other by using different platforms, social media reinforces this fact by demonstrating that we are more connected and have more in common with each other than we initially assumed. It is an opportunity for individuals to connect with people of all different backgrounds to find commonalities, to share experiences, and to solve problems in new ways. How can you achieve this? On social media, it is done through sharing one’s experience of an action that is taking place, an image that evokes different responses, or a hashtag that provokes an array of thoughts.

Society is unity in diversity.

These shared experiences give us a peek into what life is really like for those people who are not like us. In our day-to-day lives, we can see life through someone else’s eyes with live feeds of war, protests, government hearings, weddings, graduations, and family gatherings. Through this we develop a different level of empathy, understanding and communication as long as we allow ourselves to take a step back and ask questions. The result of this is that we develop a level of inclusion that we didn’t have before by being present, even when we physically cannot be there.

Social media has given us various platforms that enable us to be more vocal on important topics in addition to being able to reach a much greater audience. When used wisely, this can lead to healthy discussions and positive solutions. Having diversity of thought allows for more inclusion when differences are seen and appreciated.
