Nearing the anniv. of his death, we acknowledge Nelson Mandela's dedication to the fight for justice through adaptivity & quiet dignity. Sadly the fight for racial equity is an ongoing adaptive challenge --these Calgarians have an adaptive response #PLLC1A

Oklahoman- born Parson H. Sneed, took a massive risk when he decided to migrate to Alberta in 1910 in search of freedom from Jim Crowism & the segregation of the south. He developed a new community, Amber Valley, so his people could know peace & freedom from hatred. #PLLC1A
Despite Alberta having the highest number of active covid cases, we have proportionally had the least restrictive measures. It is time for the provincial government to step up and address this adaptive challenge with adaptive solutions. #PLLC1A

As covid cases spike, it is critical that citizens 'get off the dance floor and up to the balcony', looking at the bigger picture. Just because there is not a government-mandated quarantine does not mean people can return to 'normal' socializing #PLLC1A

Systemic racism is an adaptive challenge faced by our society today as there is no clear cut solution. People must not utilize technical solutions & instead take risks & challenging formal authority figures in order to bring about change. #PLLC1A

Oct 22nd presidential debate was significantly stronger than the one on Sept 29th as both parties were able to clearly communicate their answers and arguments as well as maintain civility allowing voters to grasp a clear understanding of their platforms.

We must stand in solidarity with the oppressed and empower unheard voices. The Kingston community exemplified this yesterday as they marched for the Mi'kmaw nation bringing awareness to the discrimination they currently face. #PLLC1A@INTD301Students

Perhaps a result of the lack of action taken by the POTUS in regards to COVID-19 and the widespread civil unrest, followership is evident as Americans continue to cast their votes in what may be the highest voter turnout ever.

Another hate crime in Toronto has fueled human rights groups to openly call upon Trudeau for action. The fact that basic human rights are still being put into question for more than 20% of Canada's population is asinine and change must occur. #PLLC1A

We have a lot to do as a society in the fight against discrimination & racism in Alberta today. The idea that white supremacy is a thing of the past is inaccurate and as Bashir Mohamed demonstrated, it is deeply engrained in Alberta's history. #PLLC1A
There is a growing conversation to ensure that Black members of the LQBTQ+ community are included in the BLM narrative, as it gains momentum since the unjust killing of George Floyd.

Great visual to support how selective comprehension and retention develop an individual's confirmation bias! Confirmation bias' are currently prominent in regards to beliefs about COVID-19 (as seen through anti-maskers) and those opposing the BLM movement. @INTD301Students
