The early 2010s saw a series of protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions in Tunisia, which spread quickly across North Africa and the Middle East. The success of the ice bucket challenge was aided by its low barrier to participation, entertainment value (self-made videos that were typically under a minute long), and celebrity participation. If the nominee chose not to, or did not complete the challenge within 24 hours, they were supposed to forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation. The challenge went viral on social media, in part due to its nomination system: Once a person had completed the challenge, they would nominate other individuals to complete it as well. The ice bucket challenge involved dumping a bucket of ice water either over one’s own head or somebody else’s to promote awareness of, and encourage donations to, ALS research.
The donation amount was transformative for the association, allowing it to invest in research and assistive technologies, as well as to increase access to healthcare and services for people with ALS. The ALS Association ran an ice bucket challenge in 2014 raised awareness of the disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) - as well as $115 million in donations. Here are some movements and trends that have caught hold in the national and global conversation in part due to their presence across social media. The power of social media can amplify voices, instantaneously spread information, and increase collaboration across diverse groups of people. Modern communication students study these virtual platforms, and can even pursue careers creating and distributing digital content. Features such as feeds, profiles, and groups on social platforms provide global access to organizations that can promote and increase visibility by sharing and networking. People have discovered new ways to communicate and collaborate through social media. How Social Media and Activism Work Together Mass distribution and the ability to effortlessly share information has influenced many facets of modern life, changing the way we think about, connect to, and engage with social justice and activism. As such, social media is revolutionizing communication and access to information on both a national and global scale. Technology is accelerating the rate at which ideas, relationships, and information are shared.
