The article “How To Think Like An Activist” by Wendy Syfret really made me think about ways in which I could enact change, possibly not on a global scale but even simply in the I communities I belong to. The author writes how young people have a certain power where they are creative and ingenious and we could break through agendas. It made me think of how young people do not really get involved in the politics that affect us on a daily basis and how some people do not even vote because they do not educate themselves to or simply are not interested. Syfret believes that young people could really facilitate a change, especially through social media outlets which they already use to influence others at a large scale. Instead of simply acting about change and what is needed in our societies, the author urges for ACTION to be taken so that this change could actually be possible. I see that a lot where people complain about issues they are unhappy with but do not take a step forward towards changing that issue so that they could be content and could help themselves and/or others. This is why I think it is important that these things that we learn in school, the very imperative things that affect us on a daily basis, are not forgotten once we leave the classroom because we are vessels that could bring that knowledge upon someone else and make a difference with that knowledge.
