Activisms

Activisms is an action used to support a change. When there are things, we need happening that are needed to change people begin to protest or go on a strike to show how such a decision can affect them. It is also way to fight for your rights. Activism begins when a person decides to use their voice and energy to speak out on what they think should be different. All it takes is for one person brave enough to speak out and others will follow. When there are many there is a big chance for change. There also other ways like posting on social media instead of going outside to protest, like in this time when we must be careful of COVID-19. When the youth come together to speak people are curios to what these young adults are going on about. They bring I knew ways to catch people’s attention, they are creative on social media, and it catches people’s attention. When older adults see what they have been protesting about for years and the way the youths are going about it, it might make them know that we won’t just take anything and that we fight back. 

            The use of videos has really helped during activism and has made a lot of cases open, if people did not record it people won’t believe that such is happen. Even if it when it is not recorded does that mean that that incident should not get the same attention. People getting to see it spark the fire.

            In the film Girl Connected, some girls speak on how they feel left out when they are asked to marry ate young age, not allowed to study certain a course, and can’t go out as much. I noticed how these girls do what they want because it is right and don’t try to blend in. They start as one to speak on what is right and go on by having people in their community support them and bring in more people. They have support from their families which is the most important, like in the case where girls must marry young. Her parents know she does not want it and dis not force her. It’s hard being a girl in so many places because you have some who can’t be who they want to be because they are being disrupted in certain ways. If they do not get married, they can be attacked which is scary for them and very young. If the girl marries at that age, she won’t achieve what she wants. Women have rights and not everyone is given the opportunity most have. Its very good now that even from a very young age girls know the certain things they should follow or accept. Girls can learn karate if they want, they can take engineering courses if they want. Whatever they choose does not make them less girly, but it allows them to have a dream and achieve it.
