One prerequisite for change here is public support. Public support requires people to know and be reminded about the issue, and it requires people to know that other people care deeply about the issue and that it's okay for them to care about it too.
So I don't buy the common complaint that raising awareness is valueless. It isn't something you'll be able to measure tomorrow morning but that does not actually imply it is not valuable, just that we don't know for sure if it is.
- Sparkky 13y agoAwareness isn't valueless, look at what pink and a ribbon did for cancer. This is just another cynical internet blogger trying to make himself feel enlightened ;) nothing more.
- jimhart3000 13y agoTo add to the cynicism, I'd say "look at what pink and a ribbon" did for the Susan G. Komen foundation, rather than what it did for cancer...
- bunfun 13y ago> Awareness isn't valueless, look at what pink and a ribbon did for cancer. Was that sarcastic?
- freehunter 13y agoWhat did it do for cancer? What does awareness actually bring in that situation?
