Bassam Salem’s Post

I've long been a critic of the media as a sociopolitical tool. With media influence, it's hard to avoid rhetoric and biased narratives. But when faced with divisive topics, whether in business or in life, I try to step back and ask myself: Which choice—or message—is: kind, and which is cruel? inclusive, and which excludes? compassionate, and which vilifies? uplifting, and which diminishes? In the moment, it’s often hard to know whether we’re doing the right thing. But in the rearview mirror, unbiased history tends to side with kindness, inclusion, courage, empathy, and dignity.
