We talked about emma watsons role in the campaign in a gender class last quarter. My professor didn’t know who emma Watson was and no one could explain why or how she came to be an ambassador for the campaign. Yes, we know her as a “girl power” character as Hermoine, but I couldn’t think of anything off the top of my head that would appoint her as the face of this campaign. Maybe she has done work for gender equality in the past – but neither I nor my classmates knew about it. What we see is a famous, beautiful face speaking for a cause. We might associate her as a strong woman, and therefore the obvious choice for the face of the campaign. Maybe emma Watson is a feminist, but the campaign sea to capitalize on the cult of fame, youth, and beauty.

It’s crazy to think how online access has changed so much now that we can literally have it at the tip of our fingers on our phone. I am a pretty active social media user too, just like most other college students. I do understand the critiques of “slacktivism” and the like, but I agree with you that it’s at least creating awareness. The Internet is such a powerful, permeating force in people’s life today, and using it to advance causes to benefit the greater good is something that should be emphasized. People may not be physically doing something to better the cause when they retweet stories or participate in a certain hashtag, but at least they know what’s going on and they are sympathizing/spreading the cause by doing so. To me, that’s better than nothing!

Wed, 25 Feb 2015 20:29:00 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=939#comment-292I agree that the Internet opens up the opportunity for a particular cause to reach a huge audience. I think it’s unfortunate that people who share particular articles, videos, or other forms of awareness on social media receive criticism for their “slacktivism” for “not really doing anything.” I think raising awareness is a huge part of advancing a cause–there’s a whole industry called advertising that raises awareness for a particular good or service, and for those haters who didn’t know, it’s kind of a big deal. A social cause needs the same kind of exposure to people to make a wide impact on society. What would the “slacktivists” be doing if they weren’t sharing information about a cause they have learned about and now care about? They would probably be doing nothing to help the cause. They may not have even learned about it in the first place. Not everyone can be expected to go out and be the next huge philanthropist of our generation. Something is better than nothing, because awareness is the thing that can lead to action. Ignorance does nothing.
