Coca Cola's "It's Beautiful" Promotes Conversation on Diversity

Despite all the controversy on Coca Cola's "It's beautiful" commercial, featuring the song "America the Beautiful", a conversation on diversity is brewing.



Many people took to criticizing the commercial for it's use of different languages other than English, or criticized the gay couple who comes out in one of the shots.  A few others were angry that the "anthem" wasn't sung completely in English, even though America the Beautiful is not the national anthem.  And of course there were those who loved the portrayal of the melting pot in our country.



This commercial has brought up a conversation on who really constitutes America.  It is evident that there is a lot of ignorance in our society, so having this conversation is important for everyone's understanding of who we are.  Whatever the criticisms were, the language, the portrayal of different ethnicities, and sexual orientation, they are all valid and ready to be challenged. 



I personally enjoyed the commercial and I'm glad it has stirred criticism.  There is much ignorance that needs to be taken to the light.  Good job Coca Cola!
