Cheyenne Lin | The Activism and the Apathy of the Rich and Famous: Do they have an obligation to 'speak out'? @CheyenneLin | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 56 minutes ago
In a time of social unrest and crimes against humanity, you'd expect celebrities - those with large followings, influence, wealth, resources, and fame to speak out against it, especially when their own government is backing the regime, but instead many key players have decided to stay silent or apathetic. Selena Gomez even recently said 'a post won't change the world.'
While other celebrities like Melissa Barrera and Bella Hadid have supported Palestine and the people of Gaza, unafraid of what it will do to do their careers.
In this video I delve into reasons why celebrities choose to stay silent in the name of injustice and pick and choose when they do have 'influence', and how by being ambivalent to their actions, we're actually just helping them to feel comfortable in their complicity.
