Abstract

The multiple challenges to social wellbeing experienced in many of the world’s contexts undoubtedly draw different responses from us depending on whether we are amid a war zone or cursorily viewing those war zones on our devices. The risks for the former group are death, destruction, injury, pain, loss, sadness, hunger and more. The significant risk for the latter group is complacency.
