There is provision for u to link this to the 2017 and 2018 'A' level GP AQ:
2017 - sharing of data and swarm mentality, where there is no one single decision-maker
2018 - youth are not apathetic when it comes to politics
And of course, the role of social media in all this is pretty evident....

The movement is still largely leaderless...Much of the action, including acts of civil disobedience like obstructing train service during rush hour, has been initiated by mostly young protesters who do most of their planning on the Reddit-like LIHKG forum, as well as in chat groups on secure messaging app Telegram.

"This is like the Wikipedia of protests that individuals are free to contribute in whatever way they like, and where there is no central organisation or group directing the efforts," 

"There is a constant evolution and refinement of techniques because everyone is allowed his own iteration of how to deal with the problem instead of having a main organiser deciding how things will go," 

"This new group of protesters, they don't want to be told what to do,"
