The problem with only liking things we find relatable
The social media culture of “likes” is contributing to our conformity, says novelist and creative writing teacher Charmaine Craig.

Craig offers her humble opinion on why we should move beyond what’s “relatable” or “likeable” and begin to open up to the unfamiliar.
