The lack of concern of the youthful, the generation Z, is an enduring subject of the old. Consistently, over the media, guardians, and grandparents can be heard worrying about the children—weeping over their proceeding with drop-in political cooperation, agonizing over exorbitant screen time and online life interruptions, deploring their supposed self-assimilation.
The reality with regards to this cutting edge is significantly more confident than that. While they're justifiably dismayed by issues as convoluted as environmental change, fear-based oppression, and pay disparity, surveys, measurements, and recounted information by the boatload recommend that the present much-questioned generation will be as connected with the issues of the day as any age before them—and might be far and away superior at rolling out positive improvement.
The leading edge of Gen Z has already proved to the world that they’re much more than talk, worthless anger and social media memes. A recent study by cultural forecasting firm Sparks and Honey found that 26% of 16-19-year olds already volunteer on a regular basis.
You and I, the young people, the blooming activists are going to inherit this world. We’re going to inherit the culture, the diversity, and unfortunately, the hate. You and I are in an enviable position; we have the power to make a change, a change that lasts, a change for not only us but for the generations to come.
We, as students, have an advantage that nobody else does. We’re growing up in a world that we can shape. The many before us were revolutionary, but, alas, not accepting enough. We can shape our community, the world around us. We can not only better it, but we can also make it a more accepting, and kind environment.
In a world that tends to disregard our voice because we’re “just kids” we need to make sure we’re heard. We, as young people, need to ensure that we are not only seen but also heard. We need to make our voice heard. We can make a difference, we can be the people we want others to be, and we can grow up in a world where our caste, color, gender, sexual preference, and other factors don’t define us; only if we decide to take the leap and continue taking the leap every single day.
Every single time when we come across challenges as a team, every single time we feel like quitting is the only way out, every single time we don’t know if it is worth it, we need to look at the examples of the many with us. We need to constantly remind ourselves why this fight is worth it, because trust me, it is.
