Letter to
Zuckerberg
Last night at 9 o’clock I was watching the Militarization
of Science and Space, a nicely intellectual speech by Noam Chomsky at Auditorium
of Massachusette Institute of Technology. I met a close non-Afghan friend of
mine last night discussing with two more Afghan friends, a little bit, on
social media and its impacts on mobilizing youths through social media tools
and what Afghan friends of mine have been campaigning and doing through
Facebook in particular to reach their voices to international community. Chomsky
lectured about how economy and tycoons are using military sphere to dominate
science and space.
Meanwhile, this idea came to my mind that “how Zuckerberg,
as the founder of Facebook, can help Afghans bring a remarkably big social
change in Afghanistan; of course I mean peace which is from my point of view
Afghans’ current greatest wish?” I came to the conclusion that Zuckerberg can
send a daily message expressing his interest in peace-building in the world,
particularly in Afghanistan, to all Facebook users. He can build a fan page
making everyone on the Facebook a member and mobilizing them to campaign for
peace activism. I assume that if he sends all Facebookers a message in daily
basis to take a step for peace, then we will be reminded of the importance of
peace in the world, and Afghanistan specifically.
If you have any other idea(s), please share it with me to
establish a globally effective and useful idea. Or you can share this post on
your Facebook account and other social media tools to reach our voices to
Zuckerberg. On that time, his attention might be drawn to peace and
peace-building, although I am pretty sure that Zuckerberg, as a young man in
the US, has already had this idea, but he was looking forward to hearing from
the people around the world how they feel if he starts sending only one message
per day to all Facebook users.
Maybe it is out of his personal/financial interests, but his
name will be shining in the history of humanity and non-violence just like Mahatma
Gandhi . Please jot down your ideas, concerns and solutions to get this goal.
We need to reach our voices to Zuckerberg that “Mr. Zuckerberg, please us and
it is your human responsibility to assist the people of the world to live a
more peaceful globe.
