For change, first we must hope

There’s something unreal about 2020. Just when you think things are settling down, somehow, as if there’s a giant scriptwriter in the sky, another plot twist comes.

According to human rights strategist and global communications expert Thomas Coombes in the June 8 episode of the communication for social change podcast,, “Hope is not about being happy or positive and ignoring the bad things that are happening. It’s the belief that tomorrow can be better, and it requires action.”

“Anger is the spark that starts the engine, but hope is the fuel that keeps it moving,” Coombes said in the same podcast. He said that lasting, tangible change is brought about by moving the narrative away from being about fear and anger and instead into one that is based on hope. However, with proper communication, another psychological response can be triggered during times of stress and heightened anxiety, a threat response called “tend-and-befriend," which is about seeking out and protecting social groups. Basically, it’s the instinct to help one another. Yes, communicating hope in the goal of creating change is easier said than done. It may require a whole paradigm shift.
