After Greta Thunberg, here's an even younger activist! 

Qns worth asking: 

=shouldn't they be in school learning so that they can contribute more in future, and so that they are not just imitating others but knowing what they are actually fighting for? 

=at 8 years old, how much do they know? shouldn't they be enjoying their childhood? isn't this a pre-mature entry into the adult world?

Note the role of the media/internet in igniting the fire of activism in her [incidentally, Greta Thunberg was influenced by the documentaries of famed environmentalist, David Attenborough:

One of the world's youngest climate change activists, Licypriya was influenced by the images of the devastation caused by the Nepal earthquakes in 2015 that killed some 9,000 people and destroyed one million homes.

Qns:

1. How important is it for young people to be involved in political activism? (ACJC Prelim 2020)

2. To what extent is it necessary for young people to plan for their future? (ACJC Prelim 2020)

3. ‘The only concerns of young people today are self-centred ones.’ Is this a fair statement? (ASRJC Prelim 2020)
