Ice Bucket Challenge - Interesting Poll result

by | 13-09-2014 16:46



For last couple of weeks, the whole world was talking about a new phenomenon called "Ice Bucket Challenge" which was basically designed for charity towards the lesser known disease called Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease.


I am sure many of you have already taken the challenge and also donated towards the cause also. In UAE also it was a great hype among people, but I was never been so convinced to this hype...I felt that most of the people were taking the challenge as it needs to be updated in Facebook without going into the main purpose of the event....charity and spread awareness...


Anyhow, when we talk about spreading awareness, one surprising poll result has come to my notice and it is surprisingly positive in nature...In UAE, GULF NEWS is the most circulated daily newspaper and as per their readers poll, 61% people became aware on "Water wastage" rather than "ALS awareness" (only 30% have voted for that)...


So, it tells me two thing:


1) Many people are still not very much aware of the importance of water - how not to waste and conserve
2) Any good cause will bring some positive impact in the society in one or the other form...

So, at the end, I will advocate for any good cause which helps the society...
