When you feel indifference towards someone or something, you don't like or dislike it. You simply do not care  to take interest or any next steps within the issue. To accuse someone of indifference towards a specific subject means they have complete lack of interest. ]]> 2023-07-07 04:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640217327 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640224068 "Indifference."

Living in a household with men, it is easy to say that I am looked down upon due to my gender. From little remarks such as my dad asking my brother for help carrying something because he's "stronger" to my brother telling me to "go make him a sandwich". No matter how big or small the joke may be, these comments simply prove my point further. This is an example of indifference because these comments are made with no thought behind them. It is just the way some men think about women. This shows that men look down on women without thinking twice about it. Clearly, this is not fair to women and especially dosent make people feel good about themselves. ]]> 2023-07-08 20:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920659 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920797 To help bring awareness and solve this indifference, keeping comments to yourself can play a big role. Nobody can change your mind on how you think but simply keeping it to yourself can aid. This allows the victim to not feel hurt by your words. Although no one can change your mind, if you decide to look at gender equality with an open mind you may start to realize women aren't much different than men despite what you may have thought before. ]]> 2023-07-08 20:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920797 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920933 Another indifference that affects my city thoroughly and many other cities across the world is the homeless. More specifically, overlooking and ignoring the homeless. When people ignore or fail to address the needs of homeless people, they are adding to a cycle of neglect and isolation. This can make it harder for these individuals to get back on their feet. Another reason for this indifference is lack of understanding. Most people are quick to assume that people end up homeless due to personal choices or failures as supposed to other causes such as poverty, lack of affordable housing, covid cutting jobs, etc. This can lead to blame and stereotypes of these individuals, rather than efforts to address these issues. Homelessness and the high numbers of people without a home can feel overwhelming and it can be hard to come up with a meaningful way to make a difference. ]]> 2023-07-08 20:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920933 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920948 So what can we do to bring awareness to this ongoing issue? Small actions such as volunteering at homeless shelters or donating to organizations that help homeless individuals can make a huge impact. Some people argue that some people fake homelessness for attention and money. Although no one can or necessarily wants to prove they're homeless, giving people the benefit of the doubt and sitting and having a real conversation can help. If you aren't keen on giving strangers money, simply taking them to a store and buying them food or water can help as well. ]]> 2023-07-08 20:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640920948 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2640999943 The indifference towards black people.

"No company can survive without earning a profit. Yet profit-first leaders who look at employees as strictly an expense to be cut in the pursuit of making more money could be putting their businesses at risk."

When companies prioritize their profits over their employees mental health and well being, they create a work environment that can lead to burnout, stress, and many more negative effects. Many employers overlook the importance of employee well being. They think that productivity and profit are the only factors of success and fail to acknowledge that an uplifted and healthy workplace is crucial for success in the long run. This leads to long hours, high stress levels and lack of a steady work-life ratio. This can have a major toll on employees mental health and physical performance. Employees may also start to feel like they aren't being heard as their employers don't take responsibility for their unrealistic standards. ]]> 2023-07-09 05:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641001405 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641003151 Addressing this indifference means a shift in mindset towards hard working employees. By recognizing how much employees do for their companies and how much time and effort they put into their job can benefit everyone. When higher standing employers take a minute to reflect on the importance of employee well being and taking critical steps to changing their views such as hiring more staff so employees dont have to work as much, adding in breaks, etc. can all be a start to creating a culture of care and respect that benefits everyone. This may also look like adding flexible work plans, mental health support, and fair salary and benefits. ]]> 2023-07-09 05:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641003151 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641234122 It is important to recognize that this indifference is a part of a larger problem. By educations ourselves and taking steps and action towards fighting racism, we can help shape the world into a place where everyone is treated with pride and respect. This can look like speaking out against racism when we see it instead of turning a cold shoulder to advocating for equality. While it might take some time and effort, if we stop avoiding and ignoring this issue it is possible to create a world where black people are no longer made vulnerable to indifference and discrimination. ]]> 2023-07-09 23:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641234122 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641269744 Police indifference towards gay hate crimes
“The ensuing violence and crime against gay and transgender people, particularly in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, was shocking, abhorrent and all too common." (Cited below)]]> 2023-07-10 00:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641269744 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641274820 Another global indifference that affects many people all around the world is police indifference to gay hate crimes. This is a major problem that has been documented in numerous countries. Homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of prejudice have frequently prompted these hate crimes. These crimes can take numerous forms, including verbal abuse, physical assault, and even murder. Many victims of this crime are denied the justice they deserve because of police incompetence. There are numerous reasons why police may be not concerned about members of the LGBTQ+ communities. Officers may be personally biased in some circumstances, while others may simply lack the necessary training and resources to deal with these offences. Some law enforcement departments may prioritise other types of crime above hate crimes, resulting in a lack of resources and attention for these cases. Whatever the reasons for police indifference to gay hate crimes, the effects can be severe.  Victims may feel alone and hopeless if they do not believe they are being treated seriously. When law enforcement fails to treat these crimes seriously, it may create a culture of hatred and discrimination that is ignored by everyone except the communities affected.]]> 2023-07-10 00:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641274820 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641275018 The indifference towards black people is a very complicated issue that has a very long history of systematic racism and discrimination. This racism has taken many different forms over the years such as slavery and isolation to more subtle forms such as housing and employment discrimination. As a result, black people have been left out from many different opportunities and benefits that other people take for granted. This exclusion has resulted in the struggles of black people being overlooked and ignored. One major factor in this indifference is the media. Social media holds a ton of power and is able to easily shape public opinion. Unfortunately, many people have created negative stereotypes about black people. This has helped to create a culture in which black people are seen as criminals and/or people who should be feared or looked down upon. This kind of thinking is not only not true but it also feeds into a cycle of discrimination that affects black people in many different aspects of their lives. Another factor that contributes to this indifference towards black people is the lack of education about racism. Many people aren't aware of the ways racism affects black people on a daily basis. This lack of education can lead to lack of empathy which can lead to indifference towards the struggles of black people. ]]> 2023-07-10 00:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641275018 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641288194 To fight this indifference, law enforcement must take critical actions to confront hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community. This could involve teaching officers about the LGBTQ+ community, expanding diversity on the force, and holding officers accountable for any and all prejudice they may have done in the past.  It is also critical for society to acknowledge the harm caused by hate crimes and work towards creating a more inclusive and accepting atmosphere rather than disregarding these issues because it does not affect them. Supporting LGBTQ+ rights organisations, speaking out against discrimination and hate speech, and educating your peers about the difficulties this community has experienced as a whole are all examples of how you can help. We can help create a fairer, safer world by working together. ]]> 2023-07-10 00:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641288194 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296624 The indifference towards climate change.
"Often, when society is facing a problem that’s terrible but slow-growing, we ignore it. We’re indifferent to the problem. Climate change isn’t the only example, but it’s perhaps the toughest to crack." (Cited below)]]> 2023-07-10 00:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296624 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296947 Climate change indifference is a major problem with consequences not only for today's generation but also for our planet and future generations. Despite substantial and strong evidence that climate change is a serious problem caused by human activity, many people continue to dismiss it or downplay its significance. Indifference can be associated to a variety of issues, including a lack of awareness of the science behind it, political and economic interest, and an unwillingness to make the required changes to tackle the problem. Rising temperatures, more severe and frequent natural disasters, and the loss of biological diversity are already being felt around the world as a result of climate change. These consequences will only worsen if we do not take steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions and move to a more environmentally friendly way of life. However, without public support and will power, implementing these critical changes is going to be difficult. Addressing climate change needs a global effort from individuals, governments, and companies. ]]> 2023-07-10 00:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296947 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296993 To address this problem, it is critical to educate people on the science and seriousness of climate change. This can look like incorporating this topic into curriculums at schools, public awareness campaigns, and increased media attention. Additionally, both governments and businesses must take the lead in implementing new laws and practises that minimise greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. Investing in renewable energy, utilising carbon pricing, and supporting sustainable land use are all examples of how they can help. We can help prevent the worst effects of climate change and create a more sustainable future for ourselves, our children, grandchildren, and other future generations by working together. ]]> 2023-07-10 00:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641296993 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641590811 Indifference towards Indigenous people.

Most people don't think twice when hearing about this issue due to the fact that it "isn't their problem". This indifference shows itself in a many of ways including abuse and interference of Indigenous lands and resources, negative stereotypes and prejudices, and a lack of acknowledgment and support for Indigenous cultures and traditions. As people continue to ignore this issue, it continues to worsen. Indigenous peoples have faced years of invasion, oppression, and discrimination, leading to the loss of land, language, and culture. Despite these injustices and lack of help, many Indigenous communities have remained resilient, fighting for their rights and recognition. Addressing this issue demands a global effort from individuals, governments, and establishments.  ]]> 2023-07-10 05:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641590864 madi4032 https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641590931 When addressing this issue, it is critical to recognise and appreciate Indigenous peoples' unique histories, traditions, and views, as well as work towards creating a more inclusive and fair society. Supporting Indigenous-led organisations, promoting Indigenous language, and attempting to address the systemic injustices that continue to affect Indigenous communities may be examples of ways we can all help to recognize this indifference. By working together to address this issue, we could make a difference and work towards a more inviting and accepting community and world for everybody. ]]> 2023-07-10 05:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/madi4032/5f7ki6l64askx3d8/wish/2641590931
