ROLE OF THE YOUTH MAKING DEMOCRACY

ROLE OF THE YOUTH MAKING DEMOCRACY

"Youth are not only a subject for policy development: youth can and must play a key role in the design, elaboration, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the policies that concern them."
The youth of any country are the soul of that society, the essence that makes the society progress, regress or digress. The relationship between youth and the community is as intrinsic as the spin of the particles that make up the atoms. Without one, the other is meaningless and without the other, the one is meaningless. The role of youth is immense and vitally important in a democracy. Democracy is a system of government which is of the people, for the people and by the people. The underlying factor here is active participation which means that the youth should be actively participative but at the same time, properly guided and organized. Some of the major identifying aspects of the youth are their vitality, their energy, their contradictions, their conflicts, and their individual and social problems. But just these factors should not be used to identify the youth. It should also be recognized that the youth are thoughtful and participative and that they also have a clear independent vision of what a State, a Nation, a Country is; of what democracy is; and that democracy is a goal and that they are obliged to contribute to be able to achieve that goal and if that goal is not achieved it is because they have assumed a passive role with their capacity and strength to the detriment of democracy.
