I chose the same topic as did Margarita, “The Formation of a Desire in Youth to Take a More Active Role in Important Societal Issues.” I think the main idea here is not “youth,” but instead “health.” When we are healthy, both physically and mentally, we have the desire to be active, openly and clearly express our opinion, and stand up for our ideas, ideals, and interests. Thus, I think it’s most important to encourage youth to be interested in sports and culture. When people are healthy, thoughtful, and have a sense of the artistic, they can’t be passive.
