NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 31, 2019
Deepening divides fragment our societies and our economies. How can modern technologies help us to find the common ground and bring us closer together ? Interactive Diversity Solutions (IDS) has created a web based program called “Don’t Guess My Race” to support teaching diversity issues. The CEO of IDS, Michael Baran, says the inspiration for the program came from research studies with children in Brazil. In Baran’s studies, he asked children to describe pictures he had taken of people’s faces. What he discovered was that this exercise sparked “extremely rich conversations about sensitive topics.” What if photographs could be used to create an interactive race awareness? In an increasingly interconnected world, race, identity and sexuality are often left undiscussed because for many, these are challenging topics and it’s difficult to find the right “space” to do it in an effective way. Yet it is a critical challenge for which all the world seeks solutions. "We want children to see how the world doesn't come in bounded natural groups, but that there are spectrums of differences and multiplicities of intersecting identities that overlay this difference," says Baran.

"What If I'm Nothing Without the Ritalin?"
"When the Ritalin overpowered the ADHD that I had been unable to conquer myself, it freed me of my symptoms — and decimated my self-confidence. On medication, I could function. But I was held hostage by the feeling that my success wasn't caused by my own hard work but by the drug." | Read more →
