This Norwegian ad placed a little boy without a coat at an Oslo bus stop to see what folks would do. When asked, he tells them that his coat was stolen on a school trip. At the end of the video, the purpose is made clear when viewers are told that children in Syria are cold; you can send them a coat. Redditor trondskij provided an English transcript.
We at CitySocialising.com wholeheartedly agree with this along with the Archbishop’s comments yesterday in The Sunday Telegraph that Facebook and MySpace are leading young people to seek “transient” friendships, with quantity becoming more important than quality.
CitySocialising is refreshingly all about “real friends in the real world” and was created to enable people out from behind their computer screens and into the face to face social fire. We know that real world friendships are far more valuable than online friendships and that interacting face-to-face with others is essential for a person’s emotional wellbeing.
Whilst the internet is a great tool to find like minded others and initiate new friend connections, it’s the offline meeting and socialising with these people and a shared history of experiences through which genuine friendships are forged. http://www.citysocialising.com
