Thanks to social media and an almost continuous news cycle (e.g. television, radio, newspapers, etc.), we are provided many glimpses into global events, both happy and tragic, on a daily basis.
Some suggest social media has made our society apathetic to the world around us. Others propose that we are merely sympathetic to tragedies in a superficial, short-term way because another tragedy is always being reported. Initiatives like Fight Apathy and Me to We attempt to mobilize youth to make a difference and move from apathy to sympathy to empathy.
A place for innovation in teaching and learning!
