Surrounding and social media are two essential causes of racism. Surrounding includes family, friends, and experiences that can influence views of other races in a negative way. Social media contributes to racism through stereotypes in television, radio, internet, and music. Stereotypes are a form of polite racism that is still harmful. While racism has occurred for centuries, there is potential to end it in order to promote unity between races and reduce violence.

This article proposes the concept ‘platformed racism’ as a way to interrogate the digital mediation of racism within and across social media platforms. Platformed racism has dual meanings: first, it evokes platforms as amplifiers and manufacturers of racist discourse; and second, it describes the modes of platform governance that reproduce (but that can also address) social inequalities. Both the dynamics of race and of platforms are highly situated. Race relations are unique to each national context and each social media platform has its own specificities. Accordingly, this study explores and elaborates the concept of platformed racism through one particular national race-related controversy—the booing of the Indigenous Australian Football League (AFL) star Adam Goodes; through the lens of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube respectively.
American election watching in Myanmar: Consideringsocial media and Buddhist-M...MYO AUNG Myanmar
American election watching in Myanmar:
Considering social media and Buddhist-Muslim conflict.As Myanmar continues to face violence between Buddhist and Muslim communities a number of
voices, from within the country and from outside, have raised concerns about the influence of
social media. After riots in Mandalay during July 2014, for example, international and local
media and government sources identified rumours circulating on Facebook as the cause.2
President Thein Sein has also raised concerns about ‘hate speech’ and other instigating messages
shared online and in her first report the new UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in
Myanmar, Ms Yanghee Lee, noted that such messages are fuelling and triggering violence.3 But
less than 5% of the population in Myanmar is estimated to have access to the Internet.4 How can
access to social media be contributing to Buddhist-Muslim conflicts?
To say that low Internet penetration rates proves the irrelevance of social media is too
simple, however, especially because access to the Internet is expanding rapidly. As an empirical
matter, it is likely too early to conclusively determine if and how social media access is
influencing Buddhist-Muslim conflicts in Myanmar. But this does not mean the potential
relationship is unworthy of consideration. Therefore, in order to generate insights that may be
useful in both understanding the contemporary moment as well as anticipating the future, this
chapter will draw from experiences with, and literature on, relationships between social media
and political conflicts in another country context: the United States.

The third world nations are mostly riddled with perennial problems like poverty, illiteracy, underdevelopment where alternative media has a very significant role to play. Alternative media provides a strong platform for development of common masses that are at times neglected by mainstream media which runs mainly for business motives and reaches only a section.
Alternative media covers a wide range of media like community radio, community television, community newspaper, leaflets etc. which offer people what is absent in mainstream media. Of these, community radio has become an important medium for many developing countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka etc. But except Nepal, in others the media has not been able to do up to mark due to the issues like sustainability, revenue generation, technology access and management, content generation, difficult government policies and political will. Here comes the possibility of Grassroots Comics which is cost effective and participatory in nature for the third world nations.
Grassroots Comics are like simple comics, but they are prepared by common, ordinary man who wants to deliver a message for the society. This media has the ability to create a platform for the common people for common issues. Here, the common man draws comics not simply for entertainment but for drawing the attention of society towards a particular or serious issue. Since comics are always attractive and are prepared by participation from common man, it engages the local community in general and initiates a thoughtful discussion. Organization like World Comics Network or World comics India is playing a significant role in popularizing this media and spreading awareness on socially relevant issues at the community level.
How Grassroots Comics are effective in disseminating information for third world countries? Are they really effective in creating a strong platform to solve problem at community level? These are issues to be addressed. The research initiative explores the richness of this medium and its effectiveness in communicating unheard voice of the disadvantaged community or weaker sections who generally never speak up their issues due to lack of platform.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. “The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind.” In one phrase, the writer,
Maria Cristina expressed the truth about the world. Racism happens when people feel that it is ok to treat others in
a different way because of their skin color or culture or religion or even nationality. Also, It has affected millions of
people worldwide, and it is one of the deepest social problem in history. However, there are still numerous people
that do not know what causes racism .Therefore, we need to know what causes racism in order to reduce its
effects. In this essay, we will be focusing on two causes of racism. Surrounding And social media are two
essential causes of racism .Second, Social media is a prevalent cause of racism. First ,It is expressed through
television, radio, internet, music and even books. To demonstrate, media contributes in the growing of racism and
crateing theories that are not fair. According to Mary beth, “media play an important role in attracting researchers
attention and viewer’s thinking and responding to disparate racials”. The other problem is that social media
promotes racism especially through stereotyping. To illustrate, the media uses stereotypes as a shorthand
method of defining characters in ways that are easy for people to identify.According to Debate “
Stereotypes are basically the "most polite" way of racism which is wrong!.
3. First, friend and family can have a significant impact on
racism.To illustrate,Every time the family and friends
say or react harshly towards someone of a different
race,they are giving them a message that racism is the
norm. Bebe Moor said that , “African americans know
about racism,I decided it is first of all a family and
friends problem.”Another surrounding problem is the
experience that they give you.To explain, It is the same
as when a colleague or friend or family member betrays
you are likely to have an opinion on that person’s race.
According to Talynn Kel,“I share my experiences that
my white racist husband gave me and amplify the
narratives of others without shame”
4. Second, Social media is a prevalent cause of racism.
First ,It is expressed through television, radio, internet,

5. Racism has occurred for centuries, but there is still a
chance to end it. I believe racism should end because
if it continues, it can split the unity of races. It may also
lead to more violence within the countries. All races
have equal opportunities as other races. “No one is
born hating another person because of the color of his
skin,or his region ,or his religion.“ (Nelson Mandela)
