In reading “How to think like an activist” by Wendy Syfert I was able to understand more clearly what activism is because before I only thought that being an activist was to make protests but no, thanks to the reading I understood that it is to make social, environmental and cultural changes for the system , to fight to defend something , to be part of and improve the system of a country .  I am not much of an activist but I like to defend and say things as they are when I understand that there is an injustice. I am in favor of activism because it helps to create a better country, for people to learn, get to know each other and volunteer to help with the changes .  Syfert mentions some examples like the march of the salt were marches of people who fought against a problem.  A video that shows us some ways of being an activist is “Girl Connected” I liked it a lot personally because it is about 5 teenagers who try to do their best to have a better system, fight not to be limited and to have fewer problems both with discrimination as violence.  In addition, it teaches a very nice message that although we can all have problems, we can all work as a group and improve them.
