Plus — How can we stop the surge of hate?

CULTURE
Stopping Hate
Hate crimes have spiked in recent years, and people seem more emboldened to express their hatred out loud, in the open — from the smallest Facebook user to celebrities with some of the largest social followings in the world. “Stereotyping often increases in surges when systems fail. When politics isn't working, or markets aren't working, people look for someone to blame,” explains Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. “Hate is this corrosive force that unravels things, that plays on our pessimism, that exploits our fear, that drives people apart,” he says. Eric Liu, CEO of Citizen University, moderates a conversation between Greenblatt, Manjusha Kulkarni, Executive Director of the AAPI Equity Alliance, and Dana Coaster, media professor at West Virginia University, as they untangle the rise of hate and discuss actionable steps forward.

MENTAL HEALTH
Kids Are Not Alright — But We Can Help
Today's kids are coming of age amidst political, social, technological, and economic upheaval. And while this is shaping a precocious and outspoken generation, kids are also struggling with a mental health crisis, the pressures of social media, and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on key developmental years. How can we come together as family members, educators, and communities to support youth? Julie Lythcott-Haims, bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, moderates a conversation between Lisa Damour, clinical psychologist and author, Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Rick Weissbourd, a child and family psychologist at Harvard. They discuss reasons behind the alarming rise in youth mental health issues and practical tips for having healthier, more productive conversations with the kids in our lives.
