In the world, there are many events that have transpired that has shaped our society into what we are today.  There are many groups and organizations that have tackled many of the situations such as the protests, murders, and inequality in the world.  Many actions and gestures made in all the conflicts or situations in the world have resulted in people making a huge statement for the cause they represent.  Most tactics that are used by organizations are to be creative within helping the people affected, and to even earn a profit for charities that are affected.  The gesture that I am picking is when the National Basketball Association used their platform to represent the African Americans that were killed by law enforcement.  These events set off many protests, social media post, and news sources making headlines for the events.  The National Basketball Association put phrases & names on the back of their jerseys to pay homage to the ones affected by the killings, this gesture was very unique and it gave the players a platform to voice their opinions without having to verbally show their emotions.  Social media pages and news outlets displayed the gesture made by the National Basketball Association to show the world how the league reacted to the events that led up to this gesture.  Social media communicated about the gesture by applauding the actions taken by the league, some people even used memes to bring a comical presence.  The players made this act be more respectable than anything for the media narrative because most of the players represented their culture, opinions, and stance in the world.  In my opinion, social media enhanced the gesture because of the many posts of appreciation that was made in the time being and social media really shows the true colors of the general population in these types of situations.  Even though there were many negative reactions to the gesture, the positive comments outweighed the negative by a large margin.
