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?
@9HVDFMJ2yrs2Y
Social activism inspires me to act because it ignites a sense of purpose and empowers me to make a difference. Witnessing individuals and communities come together to fight for justice, equality, and positive change fills me with hope and motivates me to take action. Seeing the collective power of passionate individuals advocating for a better world reminds me that even small actions can have a significant impact. It stirs a fire within me to raise my voice, stand up for what I believe in, and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Social activism reminds me that change is possible, and that by joining forces, we can create a better future for all.
@9HVFWS32yrs2Y
I'm an optimist in a lot of situations, so this resonates with me a little more.
@9HVGBDJ2yrs2Y
I think it depends on the method of protest, reasoning, and public response.
@9HV7M3N2yrs2Y
I think the best course of action is hearing the protestors points, doing your own research, and once properly educated by reliable sources, form a full opinion and try to have reasonable discussion with anyone who challenges you on it. we should all be capable of calm, civil conversation.
@9HVBSBG2yrs2Y
I don’t necessarily feel compelled to act, but I do look into what is being protested and create my own opinions
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should students be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age, and why?
@9H9VHJR2yrs2Y
Students should be encouraged to participate in social activism for causes they believe in. We the People are the ones who should be building this country and its policies. The more people willing to stand up for their beliefs, the better, and the more our views will be reflected in our law and culture.
@9H8WJ9V2yrs2Y
I believe it is important to be involved in matters that you care about. It is important to have a voice and develop your opinions .Maybe from learning at a young age your opinions will become more well-rounded as an adult.
@9H9XRH52yrs2Y
Students should choose their political beliefs, if they do choose to participate it shouldn't be forced on them.
@9H7SND72yrs2Y
It depends on the movement and what they are trying to promote. Different topics can influence young people's mentality, whilst others can be beneficial to them.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can sharing your own story of overcoming a challenge inspire others to take action, and in what way?
@9K9W27B1yr1Y
No, a lot of people are rebellious and wouldn't stand for it.
@9K9LSC9Libertarian1yr1Y
It can, because it proves that all problems and difficulties can be overcome.
@9K9MH831yr1Y
yes because if one achieved it, it gives hope to others
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were to mentor someone on becoming more socially active, what would be your main piece of advice?
@9KMJSG71yr1Y
Learn how to recognize disinformation. Learn from a wide net of trusted news sources, including international perspectives
@9KMJSY41yr1Y
my main advice would be to be open to work with others, there's no need to be scared
@9KMJQSR1yr1Y
Read up on history of the historically oppressed and learn perspectives from all sides of conflict.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think fictional stories and characters help in understanding and fostering real-world activism?
It shows sometimes to real life action or what happens in nearly in the future
@9KM4NM2 1yr1Y
It inspires a younger audience to do what they can to help.
@9KLS5FK 1yr1Y
I support Social Activism because it is FOR ALL AGES. It makes children to understand the world we live in- unfortunately it is an ugly world riddled with issues and they must be prepared to take over.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What song or piece of music moves you to think about social change, and why does it have that effect?
@9KDJXB61yr1Y
A lot of rappers come out with music and it's supposed to bring many people together because a large demographic listens to rap
@9KJZX7P1yr1Y
I believe that art in its many forms, not just music, can be used to provide a platform for the artist to express their views and thanks to the first amendment when they can share their beliefs it invites others to and leads to a conversation about different topics.
@9KJXC4H1yr1Y
Most rappers don't make music to bring people together. Record companies hire writers to glorify a dangerous movie like lifestyle to listeners in order to make a steady profit.
honcho xho sex. we need to love each other and make tons of babys
@9KDJJV41yr1Y
No song or music has moved me in any way, because I don't listen to any of that music.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role do you believe celebrities and influencers should play in social activism?
Since influencers and celebrities are being watched by many people they should help guide social activism based on each individual’s beliefs
@9H5XHTSRepublican2yrs2Y
Celebrities should use their private wealth and influence to raise funds for causes they support, however their opinions mean absolutely nothing to me.
@9H5XHRDIndependent2yrs2Y
They should have positive influence on social activism
celebrities for speak out on what they agree with to help spread awareness
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Reflect on a moment when you witnessed someone challenge unfair treatment; what impact did that have on you?
It would be unfair for everyone for unfair treatment
@9HYF2SWRepublican2yrs2Y
People trying to get into the now especially with the new idea of same gender marriage. I think they focus something that makes others uncomfortable and should do it quietly like religion.
@9HYCT972yrs2Y
It shows how the person who could challenge unfair treatment and it would cause to be more chaos because it would be unfair to that person
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might joining or starting a school club focused on a social issue benefit your personal growth?
@9HZKG5N1yr1Y
By allowing you to be more knowleadgable on the topics that are most relevant to you
@9HZKHQ81yr1Y
Starting a club focused on a social issue would benefit my personal growth as I can speak up about a certain issue that affects me in everyday life.
@9HZKFTL1yr1Y
It would benefit me because my voice would be heard in my community.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could harness the internet's power to raise awareness about one issue, what would it be and why?
@9HVB5P72yrs2Y
Abortions being rules illegal and why this is wrong
@9HV9HN5Republican2yrs2Y
Ileegals entering our country are causing problems to our economy.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can social activism go too far, and where would you personally draw the line?
@9H4T3PW2yrs2Y
Yes, it can go too far and it has in the past. I don't know where to draw the line but many to the point when they start hurting people or peoples personal places.
@9H4RRCK2yrs2Y
I think that social activism is a very powerful tool to be used to speak out against injustices, but i think it should be kept to peaceful protest and raising awarness on topics that people see as unjust.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What emotions do you feel when you see people from different backgrounds uniting for a common cause?
When I see people from different backgrounds uniting for a common cause, it makes me happy, because it makes me think that they aren't being judged for who they are, and what they are doing.
@9KBP6SG1yr1Y
I feel good because I love to see our country come together as one instead of breaking into different groups.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is a small, everyday action you believe can contribute to a larger social change?
@9HZVWHX1yr1Y
community involvement. Know and help your neighbors.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do personal experiences with discrimination or privilege shape one's approach to activism?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What local or global event has made you deeply consider your role in social issues?
@9KBNH921yr1Y
The genocide of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government.
@9KBN6KCIndependent1yr1Y
War with Ukraine showed me that war only happens because of greedy rich people.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can learning about the struggles and triumphs of past social movements inspire current and future activism?
@9HZGSBWNatural Law1yr1Y
Looking at strategies and practices that is to ones liking but things are constantly changing. Each person has their own agenda but it takes people of common interest to come together and fight for a cause they deem reason with.
@9HZG62D1yr1Y
The triumphs of previous social movements exclusively defined current social movements.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why do you think some social movements gain more momentum than others, and how can less visible issues be amplified?
@9KFQ3YC1yr1Y
Some may gain more momentum because they are shared more with the public and in the mix with companies that spread the word about them. Less can be amplified if they combine with sponsorship and different company's.
@9KFPZ8WIndependent1yr1Y
Some people have different opinions and feel that they should support more movements than others in certain times, less visible issues can be amplified by bringing more awareness to those quiet issues.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Is it possible to bring about change through small consistent actions, and what might those actions look like?
Work step by step to achieve what the people want.
@9KBNZQD1yr1Y
it is very possible and is displayed in modern society frequently through protests, strikes, boycotts etc.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has witnessing the success or failure of a social campaign shaped your approach to activism and community involvement?
@9JGV3R6Independent1yr1Y
Social activists these days are selfish idiots with political motives not the general goodwill of the people in mind
@9JGTWGBIndependent1yr1Y
Iz was a failure and it made social reforms a bad reputacion
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do stories of historical figures who have driven change influence your belief in the power of individuals?
@9KBPV7R1yr1Y
It shows that anyone can stand up for a group of people and make a difference
@9KBPHG6Republican1yr1Y
I feel like those people have had a lot of power in there time. Now we habea a bunch of people disiding stuff for us.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you noticed any social issues increasingly impacting your community, and what would you want to change?
@9HLKY6SLibertarian2yrs2Y
A lot of social activism, at least in the recent years, I find very trivial or exaggerated. I would like social activism to be toward actual real discrepancies that need to be corrected.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Could a society exist without any social activism, and if so, what do you imagine it would look like?
@9H64G9V2yrs2Y
Probably not with the state of things this will be how changes will happen.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think every individual has a responsibility to fight for social justice, even if it doesn't directly affect them?
@9H3J8DF2yrs2Y
One must speak for what they believe, but does not need to make it a determinant factor of their career and personal life
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you or someone you know ever faced a challenge in trying to make a difference; how did you/they overcome it?
@9K9Q3ZK1yr1Y
No one close to me has made a big push for any "social activism"
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When have you felt most connected to a broader community through shared values or activism?
@9KM4QTX1yr1Y
None really I have never been in a boarder community.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What emotion overwhelms you when witnessing a rally or demonstration and why does it elicit that feeling?
@9JQVPQB1yr1Y
i don’t really have an opinion or strong emotion on it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What impact does seeing youth leaders at the forefront of movements have on adults' views of young activists?
@9KC5W2B1yr1Y
It shows that things that happen in the world effect young people too. And shows that we ae willing to fight for a change,
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why might someone feel hesitant to join an activist movement, and what encouragement would you offer?
@9KDGWHY1yr1Y
Because too many factors are undetermined, but you should stand up for what you believe in.
