 Editor’s note: As technology and social media help our world get smaller, our circles of daily interactions also become smaller. Not only are we increasingly seeking out people with similar views and values, we are also only seeking out news stories that reaffirm our own beliefs.

Why Be Kind?
In the wake of the US election, filmmakers Jessie Auritt and Alexandra Berger wanted to do something to try and combat the negativity, xenophobia, racism and sexism that surfaced. So they turned their camera on a demographic that hadn’t been quite so jaded by the media and current events in the hopes that we might all learn from them and try to be kind and accepting toward other people, despite our differences. In the resulting short video, kids discuss kindness: what it is, why it’s important, the consequences of being unkind, and why kindness is vital for our future.
