MAHDOLLISUUKSIEN MATKALAUKUT

  A Dream That Everyone Feels Valued   If someone differs from the majority in any way – whether in skin colour , religion, or sexual orientation – the hurtful words and actions of others may create the impression that they are less valuable than others. "I dream that every child, every adult, and every young person feels valued – not despite their differences, but because of them." These were the words of Mustafe Muuse, who was chosen as the Role Model of the Year, in his emotional speech at the Sports Gala.   His speech was widely praised on social media, and its themes of equality, hope, and dreams were seen as simple yet deeply significant. Perhaps his words unearthed long-buried dreams in the hearts of the listeners, inspiring them to pursue what they had once set aside. In my opinion, the truth is that our differences allow us to shape our own identities, and this individuality is what brings value to human life.   It is dreams that give life meaning. Howe...

Unelm a siitä , e ttä jokainen tuntisi itsensä arvokkaaksi     J os poikkeaa jollain tavalla valtaväestöstä – olipa kyseessä ihonväri, uskonto tai vaikka seksuaalinen suuntautuminen – muiden ihmisten ikävät sanat ja teot saattavat luoda mielikuvan, että o n vähemmän arvokas kuin muut. ”Minä unelmoin siitä, että jokainen lapsi, aikuinen ja nuori tuntee olevansa arvokas – ei huolimatta eri lai suudestaan , vaan juuri sen ansiosta ”.

Kenties puhe toi pintaan kuulijoiden syvälle hautautuneita unelmia , joihin saatiin kaivattua inspiraatiota ni iden to teuttamiseen . Mielestäni to siasia on, että erilaisuuden ansiosta pystymme luomaan oman identiteetin ja juuri tämä yksilöllisyys tuo ihmiselämään arvoa. ...

 What would your reaction be if you saw a large advertisement featuring two people of colour with the text “Ihan lipun laitonta” (“Completely illegal ticket”), accompanied by an image of a forged ticket in the background? Many people have condemned the ad as racist, leading to a public uproar. Those criticizing the ad likely interpreted it as implying that the people of color featured in the ad are the ones who travel with forged tickets. Doesn't this suggest that people of color are being singled out as offenders? Or does this reaction reveal more about our own biases? This advertisement, published in August of last year, was part of HSL’s campaign aimed at reminding passengers that traveling with a forged ticket is illegal. The interpretation of the ad is always influenced by the viewer’s mindset and attitude. In my opinion, the controversy says more about people’s negative prejudices than it does about HSL’s failure to design the ad appropriately. I see it as a case where many p...
