One value that is shared between the disciplines of social media and digital humanities is that of diversity. “The Everyday Project” puts a focus on not just sharing the photos and stories of everyday people in Ukraine but it also presents it to an English speaking, American audience. The audience sheds light on the importance of a movement that people in America may not know about and allows them learn more about what people were fighting for during Euromaidan and the struggles that had to be persevered through to achieve it. The project also puts a focus on posts from over three different languages to help illustrate the full picture of who was involved in the protests. This aligns with the value of diversity within the digital humanities discipline as outlined by Lisa Spiro in her paper ““This Is Why We Fight”: Defining the Values of the Digital Humanities”. Within this work Spiro talks about how it is one of digital humanities duties to help bring to light voices and stories from across various different communities. The work of digital humanities can help people from any background to learn more, and share more, about culture. In this way the values of both social media and digital humanities can be very similar.
