TOEFL Writing Topic: Young people today have no influence on the important decisions that determine the future of society as a whole.

Some people think young people today have no influence on great decisions that determine the future of society. Personally, I disagree with that. With the development of Internet and social medias, there are many influential things we can do to make a change.

To begin with, youth can use modern ways in to solve social problems. By using social medias, even teenagers can make their contribution. A 14 years old girl named Daisy heard about the severe water resource problems in Africa. She felt sympathetic and called for a donation on the Internet. Each person only need to donate one dollar and altogether they can help people in Africa to dig a well. In the end, she received tremendous sums of money and this act practically solve the water problem in that area.

Moreover, it is noticeable that young people especially famous stars can attract the contemporary to care about social problems. Some endangered animals are hunted by human to make fur coats. A 20 years old Chinese star, named Linyu, made an advertisement asking people to stop using fur coats. This video went viral on the Internet, and many people followed her advise soon.

Admittedly, young people don’t have vital influence on big decisions as aged adults do. But involving in current issues will become an impetus for learning, a stimulus for growth and a trigger for actions. Also, by doing this kind of stuff can intrigue our interests in caring for the existence of all human-beings.

To sum up, young people today do have some influence on important decisions that relate to the future of society. We wisely use social medias and celebrity effects. Young people in this era should be proud of themselves and learn to become a person with broader horizons.
