How and to what degree can young people be agents for social change? Discuss in regards to social or political movements.
The statement, 'today's youngsters
are the leaders of tomorrow' I is really true. Today, youngsters
stand synonym to energy, innovation, courage, responsible and
change agents. Countries that has more youngsters will decide the
labour market in the future. In terms of social change, it was
youngsters who initiated, led and brought change both political and
social in most of the countries. They were doing this even when
there's no proper communication channels available and now with the
help of the social networking media, uniting like minded people
becomes very easy. Governments are afraid that they apply lots of
restrictions on the communication in the social media.
Youth led organisations take part in issues such as climate change,
social equality, employment opportunities etc. They criticize the
political and societal flaws in the social media has become a
fashion and there are lots of online forum that discuss issues of
social and political importance online thus gathering support from
people who live in different places and making the issues known to
many in the world. Youngsters are selfless because they are not
tied upto family and relatives. They make their rational choices
and stay together in fighting social and political problems that
affect common people. Most of the leaders in the history are
youngsters. So, I strongly agree with the statement that youngsters
are the real change agents.
