This week’s reading reminded me of how important activism it’s to create positive changes in our society. Last week, we were talking about how patriarchy is a giant system, that influences almost every area of our life, and since it’s this huge, throwing the patriarchy down seems pretty unrealistic. However, it’s important to acknowledge that every individual participates in this system, and only if everyone is decided to create a change, it will be done, it’s not impossible, but sure it will take a lot of effort. The change that everyone is looking for only can be done by activism. Some decades ago, black people in America were considered slaves, back in the 19th century, I think that black people weren’t even considered to be humans. There were black people that possibly thought that they’ll be slaves forever and that nothing could ever change. Thanks to slaves that didn’t conform, decided not to stay passive and fight for their human rights, now we live in a society where black people have rights. Same with women, LGBTQ+, and other minorities had their human rights taken away, but activists fought for them, and we can see a change. However, we have a long way to go since a lot of minorities around the world still are disenfranchised. Though sometimes it seems like it’s impossible to see a change, with the initiative of one person, a revolution could be created. Activism is the way to be heard and create awareness in those in power who actually can change the game.
