Denial in intercultural sensitivity  involve people those in a stage that deny the existence of cultural differences, these individual does not recognize cultural differences  because they believe that their culture is the only real culture and lead to failure in intercultural sensitivity with other culture.

Denial in intercultural communication was created based on the belief that a person's culture is the only real culture. People in this stage often fail to see cultural differences and tend to isolate themselves from other groups (Cushner, McClelland, & Safford, 2012)

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
