The Hunger Games is a great read for teenagers but it also has a powerful message behind it about dictatorships and the power of the people if everyone stands up at once and fights against a dictatorship.
The Hunger Games also shows exacly what we have seen throughout history when younger people are the ones who decide to stand up against goverments when they are being unfair.In The Hunger Games Katniss and Peter stand up to the goverment when they both win tthe hunger games by threatening to kill themselves ig they cant both win this causes a uprising.We also saw this in history when african americans were fighting for their rights and the young college students were the ones who done the sit ins and protests to get blacks equal rights.
This links to todays society because their are protests everyday where young people are protesting for different things that are close to them to try get the government to change and give them the changes they wont in society.

Book/Movie Title: Overheated British Schoolboys Rebel against shorts ban by wearing skirts

Overheated Schoolboys Rebel against shorts ban by wearing skirts is a news article by Stuff.co.nz. The News article is about a group of British schoolboys rebelling against a no shorts policy at their school by wearing the skirts.
I find it encourageing that a group of normal teenage boys from England decided to stand up for what is right and protest for every other student that goes to their school (Isca Academy). The group of boys said they decided to protest for the change because even on days when it is 30 degrees they are forced to wear pants so they decided if they can't wear shorts they would protest and wear skirts. I think what makes it even more amazing is to get the change at their school they wore the skirts to school even knowing they would get in trouble but they didn't care they wanted the change for themselves and their school mates.
What these normal teenage boys done in England by protesting for change has an impact on a lot of people all over the globe. The reason a few teenagers protesting what they believe in at school affects all people is because all around the world especially people in countries in the middle east. People are protesting for all different reasons but even though their reasons for protest are different one thing that everyone has in common with the boys is everyone that protest or argues against something is arguing against injustice and mistreatment and trying to change the world so they are treated properly and this is exactly what these English school boys were doing arguing for change in their community.
