Deep dives

Intersection of Activism and Traffic

Blocking traffic in the name of causes may not effectively sway opinions, as seen by recent protests disrupting daily life. While the passion for social justice is vital, the way it is expressed can hinder rather than bolster the cause. When activism turns into narcissism, more about personal recognition than the cause, the message may lose its impact. Prioritizing genuine understanding and action over performative protests on serious issues like apartheid and gender equality can lead to more effective movements with tangible results.
