Hashtag activism - worth clicking on?

Platforms like Facebook and Twitter are being used more and more to raise awareness of social issues and to campaign for good causes. There have been several examples of successful campaigns in recent years. For instance, the #IceBucketChallenge proved a viral success in raising awareness and funds for ALS, a disease that progressively paralyses the body. Not only did people all over the world post videos of themselves tipping a bucket of iced water over their heads, but they also nominated other people to do the challenge, as well as donating to the Association. It is not always clear how effective many of these social media campaigns actually are. Critics claim that 'hashtagging' a cause is more about copying the crowd than showing true commitment. They say that clicking on a hashtag trend is easy and doesn't initiate a real desire for change. Though there may be some truth in this, raising awareness is surely the first step to a successful campaign.

Nội dung bài nghe

1. People have started to create hashtags to draw attention to the issues that are important to them. With hashtag trends, people now have a forum to give their views on things and be heard by like-minded people. And that can only be a good thing. Personally, I love that I can
find out so much about what’s happening in the world by following trending topics on Twitter. However, I don’t always do anything about them … still, at least I am aware. The other good thing about this sort of activism is that it has no borders. I can just as easily join in with the
Wall Street protests in America as I can the food shortage campaigns in Africa, even though I am in neither of these places. We now have a global voice.

2. I am an assistant professor of sociology at the University of California and have done research into the effectiveness of social media activism. You know, 58% of Americans think that tweeting or posting information online is an effective form of protest. My colleagues and I looked
at the money raised by online activities for a cause as opposed to money raised by offline activities, such as direct mailing. For instance, we looked at the Save Darfur campaign over several years. What we discovered was that although the social media campaign was considered successful, less than 1% of the million people who signed up to the campaign actually donated any money. Still, this amounted to $100,000 over two and a half years. In
contrast, however, direct mail contributions brought in over a million dollars for the campaign in one year alone.

3. There is absolutely no substitute for direct action if you want to make a change. I get fed up with people who just talk about things all the time. They think they have done something when they have liked a Facebook page or retweeted a post! That’s not enough. Why not write
a letter to a politician or to a newspaper, or organise a protest vote or demonstration? If you really feel strongly about something, then you will do all you can to make something happen. I think that a lot of social media activism doesn’t actually have a clear goal. So the campaigns just fizzle out after a while because no one knows what to do next. And that’s a shame.
