▶ Your Answer :
There is a controversy whether
young people are not the essential population that affects decision making for
the future. I disagree with the statement that young people are not important
when it comes to the decision making for the future of the society. The reasons
are young people are the generation that can be affected by the decisions the
most. Thus, they have the significant role in decision making. The other reason
is that young people can make the better decision by using technology. To begin with, the decision making
for the future of society can influence the young population to the greatest
extent. Since the young population has longer life expectancy and economically
active group, young generation is an important factor to be considered when it
comes to planning for the future. Without taking young generation into account,
the society as a whole would fall. For example, the politicians tend to make
the policies aiming specific for the young generation because they have the
strong influence on the decision making and voting power. Not all young people
are directly engaged in the politics and social problems, however, they are
greatly interested in how the process is done and implemented in their daily
lives. Second, young people are an
influential group since they can utilize the technology to influence others.
Young generation is prone to use different social networking sources, and internet
which can influence the society in an efficient way. To be more specific, young
people can freely express their feelings and opinions by using smartphone or
internet based equipment. The words can spread throughout the society quickly
and can be formed as public opinions. For example, when I was in college, there
was the strong movement on the internet initiated by the young people, and the
movement was about increasing the minimum wage. Because of the strong public
support by the young working class, the law was passed to bring up the minimum
wage.
Finally, I strongly think that young people have
strong influence on the decision making for the future society since they are
the most economically active groups as well as they can get affected by the
changes in the society extensively. In addition to that, young people can
affect the other people through technology, thus, they can create the public
movement.
