Back in November 2008, Barak Obama won the presidential election running on a platform of change and hope. Many of his supporters came from young voters, who rose up and made their voices heard as a political force that has not been seen before, or since.
In Egypt, a popular uprising is in progress, a movement organized by young Egyptians, whose passion for freedom and civil liberties has sparked a national movement calling for massive change of the Egyptian government. Though the protesters come from all walks of like the initial demonstrations where organized by young people, using Facebook.
It is time to recognize the power that young people hold over world and the future of our society. Consider you beliefs; think about what is important to you. What are you willing to give up? Where do you draw the line? What would you be willing to do to protect what is important to you? At what point would you be willing to put your life in danger, and fight for what you believe is right?
