Activism; a person who belives strongly in political or social change. Activism is a need in todays society, because of how unfair the world has gotten.
And people like Greta Thunberg is a great example for what an activist does, she fights against world leaders about climate change, attends protests and she speaks up.
There are a lot of things to protest for and wanting a change for. Racism and discrinination is a problem a lot of people experience, and it has been for many decades.
But you would think that the society would have changed since then, so why is it still such a big problem for a lot of people?
