Activism is important because it raises awareness of problems in our world. Activism is important because it saves animals’ lives, solves world problems and raises awareness and makes people stand up for what’s right. Around 150 to 200 animals go extinct every day and they are dying rapidly because of poaching and hunting. But a few kids are making the biggest difference. In this chapter, you will learn what activism is and examples of activists and how activism is important.
The first reason why activism is important is that it makes people stand up for what’s right.
According to google dictionary, an activist is a person or group to bring about political or social change. Activism is the policy action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about a social change of their opinion. Activism is the policy action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about social change. Activism includes voting, protesting, rallies and marching to proclaim their opinion in a public setting.
There are many different types of activism. Some examples of these types of activism are online activism is the use of technology to spread awareness of issues to be changed. Hacktivism (is a person or group who hacks to get their opinion heard and or seen because they are not good at speaking publicly.) Artivism (is the use of art or graffiti (the act of writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place because they don’t want to talk in public.
) to spread their opinion with pictures and/or words.)
The most important reason why activism is important is that it saves animals’ lives. One example of that activism can save animals’ lives is: According to AWI in 2009, Carter and Olivia Rise at 8 and 7 founded (OMG) one more generation. They sent 10,000 letters from people all over the world to the South Africa president about black rhino poaching (the act of illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.) and saved many rhinos’ lives. OMG run by will Carter and Olivia Rise lets you adopt these baby cheetah cubs to protect them from hunters and poachers that want them for their fur even though it’s illegal (is contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law like robbing a car is illegal and can lead to prison and even death.) to kill a cheetah because it is an endangered (is if a species or animal is seriously at risk of extinction and the population is rapidly decreasing.) species. They help many animals because they want to have these animals for one more generation and more and because like the cheetah people kill cheetahs for their fur and to stuff them they eat a lot of animals so if they go extinct (is when a species, family, or other larger group has no living members like the dinosaurs.) it will cause a huge food chain reaction that will even affect our plates today.
The most social and political reason why activism is important is because it solves world problems and raises awareness about issues in the world. Like OMG getting 10,000 people to write a letter to the South Africa president to stop black rhino poaching for their tusks. Also like when the blue-footed booby Foundation got so many people to buy They’re blue socks. “ they sell blue socks to raise awareness of the dying blue-footed booby and to fund researchers to stop the issue.” Save the nautilus is Raising awareness of the dying chambered nautilus.
This shows me that activism is good because it raises awareness of problems in our world because it can save animals’ lives and solve world problems lastly it raises awareness and makes people stand up for what’s right. Now that you know why activism is so important, I encourage you to pick topic research about then share your opinion and get people to help you.
