How Social Media Can Impact Social Responsibility
Staying home has never been easier.
With the world being asked to stay at home in an effort to flatten the curve, this weekend, people have taken to social media in their droves to celebrate social distancing. Instagram introduced a ‘Stay Home’ sticker and Story to encourage social responsibility and the results have been fabulous.
No stranger to a cause-related sticker, Instagram’s latest enables users to showcase their different activities whilst at home, with your friends’ contributions being highlighted in your story section of your Instagram Home Screen.
This is an incredibly important message and it seems some people aren’t taking as seriously as they should, however, social media never fails to disappoint, and people have taken to the internet to showcase their creativity. As we said, Instagram is no stranger to helping out a cause, back in October, when it launched its 'Restrict' mode, Instagram also added a 'Create Don't Hate' sticker to discourage cyberbullying, while it also launched a sticker to thank healthcare workers amid the COVID-19 outbreak just last week.
You might say that a sticker is a relatively minor action in the grand scheme of things, but if seeing other’s, often hilarious exploits as they practice social responsibility encourages others to stay home and flatten the curve, we are all for it!
