In her commencement speech at Harvard, Yurong 'Luanna' Jiang emphasized the importance of recognizing shared humanity amidst societal divisions. She highlighted how people often demonize those with differing beliefs, urging for a more compassionate perspective. While Jiang did not directly reference the Trump administration, she acknowledged the broader political turmoil affecting students' emotional state and their sensitivity to divisive rhetoric. Her call for moral imagination reflects a desire to unite rather than divide, especially in challenging times marked by heightened emotional tensions and uncertainty regarding the future.

When you are emotionally charged and activated, it's very easy to demonize another person.
