Gracias por compartir esta reflexión tan relevante, Maysoun Douas Maadi. Es realmente impactante ver cómo la percepción de actividad puede variar tanto entre generaciones. La preocupación por el incremento de los problemas de salud mental, como mencionas (+300% crecimiento en enfermedades mentales en menores de 20 a?os), es alarmante. Es interesante destacar lo que menciona el informe sobre la correlación entre el acceso a internet y la salud mental, especialmente en ni?os y adolescentes. Nunca había asociado las lesiones físicas de los ni?os (inversamente) con la adicción a dispositivos (las "maquinitas", como dice la abuela). Menos actividad física implica menos lesiones ;-) Definitivamente, este informe es una llamada de atención para todos nosotros, padres, educadores y responsables de la crianza y el desarrollo de ni?os y jóvenes. Es crucial entender cómo nuestro uso de internet puede afectar nuestra salud mental y tomar medidas para un uso responsable que respete nuestros momentos vitales y los de aquellos a quienes cuidamos. Gracias a CyberGuardians por compartir este informe tan importante. Sin duda, es una lectura que todos deberíamos considerar y discutir en nuestro entorno familiar y educativo.

Una de muchas campa?as que buscan responder solo a los objetivos de generar alcance y conciencia. ?Lo logra? Por supuesto, pero ?genera algo más? ?Ayuda o aporta en algo? El problema principal, el concepto de la campa?a: “Asuma que puedo y tal vez lo logre” ??♂? ?Esto es lo que una persona con discapacidad diría? No. De hecho es ofensivo creer que sí. Puede que genere conciencia, pero no ayuda en nada a uno de los principales problemas que tenemos las personas con discapacidad. El creer necesitar aceptación, el querer ser "normales", el enfocarnos en lo que nos hace diferentes de los demás. Muchas personas se quedan en esta fase y generan traumas tan profundos que no les permite avanzar, ni desarrollar su potencial. Todas las personas, parezcan normales o tengan algún tipo de diferencia, todos tenemos diferencias y de algún modo hemos tenido complejos o cosas que quisiéramos que fueran diferentes. Estas campa?as generan comparación y buscan pretender de cierto modo ser como los demás. La comunicación de las marcas puede y debe ser más que generar controversia. Se puede investigar a fondo para entender realmente una situación, un proyecto, una marca y poder aportar valor significativo. Para las personas con discapacidad y de hecho, para las personas en general, el mensaje debería ser que cualquiera puede alcanzar sus objetivos, independientemente de sus circunstancias, y que las opiniones de los demás no deben frenarlo. Hay que aprender a aceptarse, para poder estar enfocados en lo que importa realmente: en lo que queremos ser y hacer. Las opiniones de los demás, hay que dejarlas a los demás. Y ya que estoy escribiendo esto, comparto mis 2 insights personales. 1. El mensaje debería ser que quien quiere puede. Quien quiere, encuentra el modo. No depende de nadie. 2. Y por otro lado, quien sienta que tiene desventajas, tal vez le sirve el modo en que yo lo veo, es una metáfora básica pero ayuda a explicar muy bien como veo las cosas: En la mayoría de video juegos hay un factor común, se puede elegir el modo en que se quiere jugar: modo fácil o modo avanzado. En modo avanzado, el juego es más interesante, con menos ventajas, incluso suelen haber más opciones de juego o escenarios adicionales. Por ejemplo, el tiempo para terminar un reto es reducido, o las herramientas que uno puede usar son más básicas. En general, en opción avanzado, el superar el juego requiere más habilidades de uno. La vida es más interesante cuando uno elige vivirla en modo avanzado ??

???Hablemos de prejuicios sin decir que los tenemos??? Esta campa?a deberíamos verla todos no por un ejercicio publicitario o de marketing, sino por un ejercicio social. Asumir que alguien es algo, que puede o no hacer algo, por desgracia limita nuestras interacciones y por ende, sus posibilidades. Reconocer en el otro sus capacidades totales es tarea de todos, si hay limitaciones que sea cada uno quien las indique, no porque se las impongan. Acá vemos el caso de la comunidad con Síndrome de Down, pero otras tantas también lo padecen: mujeres, ni?os, indígenas, latinos… Los estereotipos generan prejuicios y estos llevan al bloqueo del crecimiento como sociedad. Pensemos, ahora sí, desde la publicidad y el marketing, qué estereotipos y prejuicios estamos fomentando con nuestras campa?as y, posiblemente, al reconocerlos y tumbarlos lograremos cambiar el mundo. #marketing #branding #strategy #lovebrand #nodramajustbranding
