According to Syfret, Wendy Activsm consists of efforts to promote, impede, direct, or intervene in social, political , economical or  environmental reform with the desire to make changes in society toward a perceived greater good. She also spoke about how activist bring about change and how activism is apart of the world and made reference to that of the French Revolution. 

The French Revolution was when the great Ghandi fought to allow citizens more agency in governmental decisions . 

     She also made mention the history of feminism and how it lives on today . Feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. Whilst strides have been made towards equality throughout these periods, women remain far from equal both in the Western world and globally . Feminism still remains as important an issue today for contemporary woman .

Syfret in addition spoke about the Salt march where Ghandi also led another stand against oppressive rule . They protest against the British salt act of 1882 .

In a time when people often dismiss younger generations as more engaged with their smartphones than with the world around them, young advocates are using every tool available to raise awareness and push back against injustice. And they’re not just posting their opinions on social media. They’re setting real change in motion a clear sign of activism
