You believe in promoting social justice and equality by actively advocating for the rights and well-being of marginalized communities.
Social Activism is a political ideology that emphasizes the power of individuals and groups to effect change in society, often through various forms of protest or advocacy. This ideology is rooted in the belief that political and social change can be achieved through the collective action of individuals who work together to promote or resist social, political, economic, or environmental reform.
The history of social activism is as diverse and complex as the issues it seeks to address. It can be traced back to ancient times when citizens would gather to protest against unjust rulers…

When you hear about protests in the news, do you feel inspired to act, and how does that look for you?

Peaceful protests make me feel content to live in an open democracy. Inspiration depends on the cause, but protest coverage encourages me to understand different perspectives and form an opinion.
Won’t definitely feel inspired, but will try to understand from their perspective to conclude from my view
@9HZVFWG12mos12MO
Yes I do, for example with Palestine I feel inspired to protest myself, if I can't I try to donate to charities and spread awareness through social media so more people can advocate
@9J4V4W211mos11MO
I feel that when people stand up for what they believe that others also feel that power and know that as a collective we are stronger than the powers that rule over us.

Should students be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age, and why?
@9H7SSZM1yr1Y
Yes I believe it is important to exercise our right to protest.
@9H7NBVG1yr1Y
Students should be in a position where they can form their own opinions without influence from others in their lives, and only then should be encouraged to participate in social activism
@9HBR4VF1yr1Y
I agree with this, I definitely think it's more damaging for younger generations to remain ignorant to social issues occurring within the UK and teaching them young in an unbiased well will help them in their futures.
@9H9YPZ21yr1Y
Gives them reason to inquire on political issues and develop a broad and critical view of society.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you determine which social issues are most important and deserving of your attention and support?
@9H3QZZ51yr1Y
If they effect me or my country and it's traditional values, it is a problem I will care about.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Why might someone choose silent support over vocal activism, and in which circumstances would you do the same?
@9JSVBCP11mos11MO
The person could have chosen to hide his identities for personnal reasons
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
When you agree with the goals of a social movement but not its methods, how do you choose to respond or engage?
@9HWZQ7312mos12MO
There are broader principles, such as non-violence and the rule of law, which should be upheld above and beyond whatever goals the social movement is pursuing. That said, if I agree with a cause and think it sufficiently important, I think individuals can be justified in breaking the law, while the law itself may still be justified and rightly enforced.
