Personal Sense of Identity

            There are many things in one’s life that one can have control. Similarly there are some circumstances that are outside one’s control such as the fact of death, the color of their eyes and the experiences that one goes through when in contact with one’s immediate surroundings. But as individuals the young do have a certain amount of control over the occurrence of their present and future actions, especially when they are in charge. The identity, or the self, is largely discovered only through the process of an “acting out”, that the possibility for expression is thus in a very stringent sense the necessary precondition for the very having of a self, which is packed with social, political and also educational implications. Just by checking the pulse of a person, we know that they are alive so also we can come to know whether a society is alive with its young, who are its energy and backbone. They have the zeal and the courage to stand up to situations and to cry out against the injustices that is done to them and the biases that they notice around them, which others rarely notice or have even taken for granted. The young are the voice which will scream out and act out against such things.
