In the reading ” How To Think Like An Activist” by Wendy Syfret, I learned that activism is an act in which people express their true opinions, their anger about certain situations and are seeking change. Activism doesn’t have to be always associated with pretesting or the fact that activists people are aggressive. In reality, activists are just people who have visions, different energy and are willing to come up with new solutions to help the world. Wendy Syfret mentioned how activism become a huge thing because of social media. Social media and the internet, in general, played such an important role to speed up the information and spreading the truth. Most of our generation now will only believe what they see and not what they heard. The spirit of activism is a powerful thing someone can have. It requires strength, power, and commitment. It allows you to understand others’ differences and to work on your listening skills. The reading is about different strategies to help you become an activist such as finding a mentor, having questions, using social media, accepting critique, and developing speaking and listening skills. Having a complaint or a goal you want to achieve is not enough to be a good activist. This is exactly why I loved reading this because it opened up about different detailed things in activism.
