the "young people" used to protest against their parents. Then they protested against their school. Now they seem to protest against the country. If they understand what they are protesting against and the ramifications of their protest, at least they do so from an informed viewpoint. As a teacher, I find that many just "jump on the bandwagon." They do what they do because someone they admire in their social circle, or someone they want to notice them and think this will do it, has convinced them that this will make them "cool." This is from an uninformed viewpoint.
