1 00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:06,280 And in this last video, I'm going to ask some discussion questions based on the topics of this 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:12,619 week so that we can get into a critical discussion if you're interested. So you'll do the same thing 3 00:00:12,619 --> 00:00:17,719 that you did before. You can listen to the question, pause it, answer it, and then listen 4 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:26,100 to my answer as an example. My first question is, how do you think social media impacts social 5 00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:34,619 movements? I personally think that there are a couple of different ways that social media impacts 6 00:00:34,619 --> 00:00:40,780 social movements. So social media allows people to share information quickly and in an ideal 7 00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:48,140 situation efficiently. It also lets people talk about their experiences on a platform that can 8 00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:52,920 amplify their voice and reach more people. So instead of just being able to talk to maybe the 9 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,820 people that are in the same room as them or who go to the same church as them or who go to the 10 00:00:57,820 --> 00:01:04,099 same school as them. Maybe they're able to reach a bigger audience overall and maybe a more global 11 00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:11,659 audience or a national audience. A possible negative impact that social media could have 12 00:01:11,659 --> 00:01:16,739 on social movements is it could make it easier for people who disagree with social movements 13 00:01:16,739 --> 00:01:24,140 to find people who are protesting and to enact retribution in some way. So that could be another 14 00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:30,680 way that it impacts social movements in a negative way, potentially. Question number two. 15 00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:36,560 Can you give me an example of a modern social movement that is taking place or being discussed 16 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:44,540 in Spain? So I think that I answered this question. I do not know a ton about social 17 00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:48,439 movements that have been happening in spain but i would love to hear your perspective you can go 18 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,400 back and listen to my first video on a modern social movement that's happening in the united 19 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,519 states um with that of the black lives matter movement if you'd like an example um but some 20 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:02,420 movements that you could potentially talk about maybe you're talking about a movement against 21 00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:12,139 racism against sexism homophobia maybe gentrification um economic inequality transphobia 22 00:02:12,139 --> 00:02:17,819 you name it, I am here to hear about it. I would love to hear your perspective about things that 23 00:02:17,819 --> 00:02:24,120 are going on in Spain. The last question, question number three is, what are some ways that you can 24 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,879 help fight against systematic injustice, whether that is in your community, on a smaller community 25 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:38,740 level, or around the world? I know it's a hard question. Some answers that I have, because I 26 00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:43,520 don't think there's just one answer to this question are that you could stay informed and 27 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:50,819 aware. You could do this by reading books and articles, by watching videos, movies, TV shows, 28 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:58,659 and by keeping an open mind in general. You can also listen to and amplify the voices of oppressed 29 00:02:58,659 --> 00:03:04,680 people, again, whether that's in your communities or globally. And I think it's important to say 30 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,300 that you can listen to oppressed people, both when they're talking about oppression that they've 31 00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,960 experienced and also when they're talking about other things. A third thing you could do is donate 32 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,020 money to organizations that are fighting against injustices, organizations that you know are doing 33 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:26,500 good work and that you've researched. Something that you could do, especially if you have privilege 34 00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:31,539 in some ways, is you could have difficult conversations with people in your life 35 00:03:31,539 --> 00:03:38,159 to educate and increase awareness. So an example of this is I've had many conversations with my 36 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:45,840 family members about institutional racism in order to help them understand a bit more the 37 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,500 struggles that Black people and people of color face in the United States and around the world. 38 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,400 So you could have those conversations maybe with people who haven't had these conversations before. 39 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,620 you could also show up to protests and marches and listen to the people who have been affected 40 00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:07,719 by different forms of injustice and stand in solidarity with them and my final thing my final 41 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:13,419 actionable item is that you could stop supporting organizations that are promoting hate 42 00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:19,339 and that are contributing to the problem all right so those are my answers to those questions i would 43 00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:24,220 love to hear your perspectives and thoughts i hope that you're all doing well i hope that you 44 00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:30,060 and your loved ones are safe and healthy. And I look forward to hearing from you. Bye everybody.
