The aim of this final blog is tenfold in its approach and argues that global citizens who thrive in digital spaces bring valuable contributions and knowledge to multicultural societies, that they are self-made from their specific experiences and cultural characteristics, which are, in some cases, unique to their hybrid individual identity.
As I mentioned in my previous blog, contextualizing digital information matters. We live in a world where books get banned from public schools because individuals claim it is about “divisive and controversial subjects” and “taught Critical Race Theory.” The contribution I want to make with my second blog is to turn our attention to differences and similarities and how we communicate with each other in multicultural digital spaces, since I socially engage in various global citizen activities daily, including work.
In our rapidly evolving and hyper-connected world, information knows no bounds, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. While the digital age has granted us unprecedented access to knowledge, it has also eroded the importance of cultivating a healthy dose of skepticism. As I perused my social media feed, I couldn’t help but reflect upon the frequent encounters with information that required a more discerning eye. The phrase “I don’t care” reverberated in my thoughts, reminding me of the necessity for skepticism, especially when dealing with essential and problematic social issues.
