Would you or have you ever been involved in a demonstration?
I have ever been involved in a demonstration, but that was back in the university. My first year after joining the university we had a few issue that was not clear on the required fee structure for the first years. The structure stated that some amount of money was added to the actual fee required so that the university could procure computers for the students. We were not allowed to say we already had hence the whole thing looked like necessary thing one had to do. After payment of this money we expected to receive the computers immediately, but then it happens this did not happen. After the first semester we received no communication from the administration but almost by the end of the semester still no communications the students body decided to conduct a peaceful demonstration so as provoke the administration to speak to us. And it happens it worked although the whole demonstration did not end up as peaceful as expected.
The media's influence on activism has been a positive or negative change?
It has influenced activism in both the positive way and the negative way. When we look at the negative side some of the things that the media has provoked are not true hence, this is not a positive influence but also on the positive side the media plays a great role especially in highlighting those issues would have remained unknown to us while affecting other like for example police brutality all thanks to the media for exposing us to these things hence leading to the fight for justice.
Is there a culture subject matter in our contemporary society that "should" be dialogued in our Canadian society?
The issue of racism is a cultural issue worth mentioning within the society. Social media has enabled us to capture a number of incidences that have emerged to big issues. This issue should be dialoged within the community and for this dialog to have a serious impact the involvement of the social media. The campaign in relation to this issue will impact its value a lot. These are some of those major issues that we should bring in social media for example with, the latest things relation to trending thing in the social media would be the best platform to dialog such an issue.
