The slogan including race, age and so
The initial campaign video wasreleased on the Upworthy’s Facebook channel with the message of ‘we are allhuman.’. In addition to uploading the video on the social media, the websitealso gave people the opportunity to get information in detail and share theirstories on people’s own social media. Firstly, they presented a test created byHarvard University to evaluate their own biases and point out a subtle exampleof discrimination. A visitor could get educated themselves more about biasthrough the quiz.
Secondly, they created the social gallery called ‘Faces ofLove’ page. This is a social tool on the website to create a image with the campaignmessage by uploading visitor’s own picture and put one of the labels in the endof the slogan including race, age and so on. (Awards, 2017) To maintain theawareness and attention to the message, there was an extension of the campaign,called “#WeAreAmerica” in 2016 to continue to discuss what it means to beAmerican and to be patriotic.

(Andreasen, 2002)As we discussed above, the main problem was unconscious biases ordiscrimination about people. The driver of habituated behaviour can be describedinto two parts, knowledge deficit and unhealthy attitude. The campaign wasmainly concerned with raising public awareness about unconscious biases whichpeople do not even notice and prevent bullying or discrimination about people. Inthis campaign, the mix of attitudinal and educational campaign types are usedto change behaviour of the target audience and the type of change could bedifferent for each audience. In addition to it, the five behaviours areprovided including acceptance, support, respect, love and unity as theobjective of the campaign, according to the interview with Lisa Sherman,President and CEO of the Ad Council. This change of behaviour, eliminating thatbias, is able to influence the huge impact on society, including job security,loan qualifications, housing options, or even due process under the law.
