Eye on the world: A sense of neighborhood, not victimhood
In an editorial titled “Social media’s big lift after Nepal earthquake,” The Christian Science Monitor notes, “Instead of victimhood, millions found digital neighborhoods.” Such connectedness “helped create instant communities of support … [and] enabled many people in Nepal to avoid the common trap of seeing themselves as helpless victims.” The Monitor also points out that this is not the first time a sense of neighborhood, which “helps breaks down a sense of separation [and] amplifies each individual’s potential contribution,” has been seen after such a disaster.
