What makes you different makes you special
Bulling and making laugh at how others look are social problems we can find around the world for many reasons.
To make it more clear let’s have a look at the Coca-Cola advertisement for Ramadan 2018.
We can find in it a girl wearing hijab lives in a European city in Ramadan, the ad. focused on how people treat her because she only wearing something different to them.
The ad. started with a girl who missed her bus on a hot sunny day & decided to walk to her destination.
During walking she had strange looks from girls around, a man hit her by his shoulder never turned back to say sorry so it was intended, other strange looks from people around, a girl decided to make laugh at what she was wearing, Till we find a girl wearing sportswear was running and stopped for buying Coca bottle, She noticed the other girl but unlike the others, she decided to buy a bottle for her too.
The girl went to her & give her the bottle, She accepted politely with a smile but didn’t drink.
Remember guys we were in Ramadan and it is not allowed to drink or eat before sunset.
The girl wondered why she didn’t but instead of bulling or annoying her like others, she decided to wait like her. Just respect her difference without any single word only smile :)
Finally, the sunset. So it's time they started to drink & shared talks and laughs.
Drinking any kind of soda on an empty stomach not a good idea but let’s see what’s behind that.
The fact is we are different in a way or another, what happened with the girl on the ad. is happening with many others for the same reason or another.
But what to do? what to do simply is accept, Accept the fact that we are human and we all have the same rights regardless of how do we look, what we wear, what our skin color is, or what we think. The fact of we are different and realize that each one's differences make him/her special somehow. We have to show some humanity and respect others with no judgments.
It was very nice of Coca-Cola to show that in a very nice easy & simple way, I will end my story with the same sentence as the ad.
“ What unites us is bigger than what divides us. ”
