The world could use a little more empathy this week.
Cyberlite's Slack channels have been lighting up this week with lots of discussion around World Autism Day, Will Smith, and our personal responsibilities of doing good in the community. Read on for our weekly roundup.
World Autism Day is this Saturday (April 2)!
World Autism Day is an international day to spread awareness about people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Pick up our book, Me, You, and Them to start a conversation with your child about autism, neurodiversity, and empathy. The book also covers other diversity, equity, and inclusion topics such as gender stereotypes and physical disabilities.
We're offering 10% off all our books this weekend, from April 1-3, 2022! Use the promo code "TAKE10" at check out!
What do David Beckham and the plumber uncle in your building have in common?
Well, they both make big social impacts in their communities ... and so can you! Nina and Michelle discuss some unique examples of how people are doing good in the world, and inspire their audiences to do the same. Find out how being a mentor or DIY-ing your ripped jeans can make the world a better place!
What can this slap teach us about implicit bias?
By now, most of you have probably debated this very public slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the dinner table with your nine friends (side note: hurray, Singapore opens up dining to 10 people!).
Do you think Will Smith had a right to defend his family like that, or did the assault make you angry? Everyone judged this situation through their implicit biases, influenced by personal beliefs and experiences. Which side of the argument are you on?
