Solidarity is one of the fundamental human needs that is crucial for the survival of people globally. The modern moral philosophers have found means of describing solidarity in the current environment which translates to a well-established routine (Gaztambide-Fernández, 2020). Similarly, solidarity has been used frequently in political scenarios to promote unity among the people. On the contrary, some authors have used theories to describe solidarity. According to Dean, (1996) solidarity can be defined based on several theories. One key framework is the critical social theory which maintains that solidarity is about reciprocal practice. In other words, reciprocity is considered the base of solidarity when one is capable of giving life to another person. Currently, one key project that has focused on solidarity is the pep talk which is an online platform that is used to pass various encouraging messages to young people. Peptoc art project was established by two teachers namely Jessica Martin and artist Asherah Weiss. The project started in West Side Elementary school in Healdsburg, California. The first impression of Peptoc was the creation of posters and flyers drawings that are charming. The project also adopted an online platform that has gone viral offering word of encouragement among the users. Therefore, the current essay's main focus is an analysis of the Peptoc project.
