Method used towards the target group: Friends  

  • I have used the hashtag challenge and posters in creating the awareness of racism through social media which is commonly being used by the youngsters, Instagram. 

  • Infographic poster is one of the effective and convenient method to spread the awareness of anti-racism among the youngsters. ​

  • They can easily swipe through the posters on social media and share it to their friends and others as images reveal large amounts of data. ​

  • So, use an infographic poster instead of a long text. The audience will appreciate it.​

Through posting these posts on this Instagram account which I have created, known as racism_free, there are feedbacks received from the youngsters as they do followed the account and provide their comments and likes to show their support and agreement towards the posts. There are also people who shared to their own Instagram account and spread the awareness towards their friends. It is a good sign when youngsters actually get involved in order to stop racism when they saw all the posts and read through the captions written on each posts. Even they are people who do not share their thoughts or feelings by commenting below the posts, they do spent their time reading and understand the importance of anti-racism. It is great when people are aware of the current issue but not just ignoring the messages on social media. 

Below attached are the feedbacks received from the youngsters on Instagram:

Moral Values 

Acceptance

The quality and ability of welcoming others and unconditionally value all parts of who others are and accepting the differences, cultures and practices differ from our own.​

Justice

A sense of justice is crucial to be implemented since the young age as they will be encouraged to speak up when they perceive a wrongdoing.​
