Although we still don’t have everybody on board for equality, social scientists are seeing more and more evidence that th

 it is very logical.
Then there are the computational data collection systems that will track all of the above, ensuring that we have evidence and data to display what works and what needs improvement.
Although we still don’t have everybody on board for equality, social scientists are seeing more and more evidence that the germ of the idea is very real, and very persuasive. According to WeForum, as more and more nations include girls and women, in STEM, more hearts and minds are won and more progress is made for a solutions based world.
Finding your Brand
Even as brands make every effort to outdo themselves with positive imaging, and a greater nod toward a more inclusive society, we have to guard against just signaling virtue. We must practice what we preach.
According to H. G. and S. A. Jules-Plag from Harvard,
“Society is embedded in the Earth’s life-support system, and being woke entails an understanding of our relationship with this planetary life-support system.”

In 2020, the world witnessed extreme polarization on topics such as mask wearing, individual freedom, the right to work, or protest, or go to church, or family gatherings, for example; all fell into patterns which appeared to demand people choose sides.
Although the numbers are not all in yet, the racial justice movement appears to indicate many people believed that their right to protest during a pandemic was more important than the life risk of exposure to COVID-19. As outdoor events, distancing, sanitization efforts, and the age of most people fell into the least vulnerable category (i.e., young, fit, people) so far no numbers of super-spreader BLM protests events have emerged. Contrasting that with several “less woke” events on the far right, and it became evident that refusing to take preventative measures did result in some contagion.
This does not mean, however, that the science is on the side of the “woke”, but that people’s opinions, feelings, values, and perspective must be viewed in long term, and in-depth, scrutiny.
To see the whole picture requires extreme vigilance, critical thinking skills, and an open mind. All of which require we drop our bias, or at the very least, acknowledge it.
Being on the “side of science”, can’t just be a useful, albeit somewhat divisive, phrase, it must use real computational integrity, or it becomes entirely counter-productive.
There is also a danger to “woke fatigue.” People are generally turned off by constantly being directed to be inclusive, progressive, or politically correct.
This brings us full circle back to the idea of how we see ourselves influencing every decision we make. To see ourselves more honestly, more specifically, and more realistically, we have to make every conscious effort to not use stereotypes, outdated tropes, heavily polarized politics, or any of our assumption-based attitudes from the past.
Many of us will self identify as a progressive, or conservative, or as a white man, Black woman, BIPOC, LBGTQ, evangelical, or many other descriptions.
These are fine so long as we don’t use these identities to exclude people as “others,” who don’t also want a better world based on equity, and truth.
Most of us wear the hats of many, many categories of people, and we should. What needs to change is the idea that those “others” are fundamentally apart from our kind of people. Combined with the use of realistic research and evidence, we can find the collaborations, partnerships, leadership, and creativity that we need to utilize the greatest number of perspectives.
