The best stuff I have read about it though has looked at the wider problem that we always face as Westerners trying to help those in the developing world and how we can best do this in a way that is honourable, respectful and empowering to those that we are trying to help.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385697003638249149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065455469159113831.post-20856185438668446422012-03-08T22:38:41.081-07:002012-03-08T22:38:41.081-07:00Simply sharing something may be the easy way to tr...Simply sharing something may be the easy way to try to help out, but that does not mean that it is not important. The whole purpose of the video was to show that even a little bit of effort can go a very long way.<br />Spreading awareness is an exceedingly powerful tool, and today's social media format has brought this into a completely different level than it ever has been.<br />This video going viral has been covering many news forums all over the US, which most definitely will help catch the attention of our powerful lawmakers and celebrities.<br />Was that not the goal that IC had in mind when they posted the video?<br /><br />I'm not saying that you are wrong in voicing this opinion. Problems like this can most definitely be solved faster if people put more effort into the fight. But even the small ripples that individual people have created by reposting the video has created a very large wave that cannot be ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
