hero-in

The youth of the 70s and 80s have suffered so much compared to the youth of today. They have experienced so much oppression that they needed to find their way out to breath fresh air.. But despite their fight for a good cause, the country is still struggling today, because of all the social injustices that still exist. The phil was a *shinning star 40 years ago, but its brilliance faded and it turned into a "falling star.

In this generation, some has decided to become the "Bonifacio" kind of hero, the katipunero who would dare shed blood. In other words, there are protesters of this age who would rally down the streets, rebel against the government or plan coup attempts.

On the other hand, there is also the "Rizal" kind of hero who believes that the pen is mightier than the sword.He believes that with education he can make a difference. He is the kind of person with compassion and intelligence.

There are so many ways that the "kabataan" of this age are expressing their views. There are some who would engage in written arguments, debate, rallies etc...

Pls baby boomers, dont compare your thought to the gen-x and gen-y ;) hehe...
You see the means of communication was limited compared today. We all have radios, television, cellphones, email adds, friendster/myspace accounts that makes our world flat. It is easy for us to reach out to everyone not just in the phil but around the globe to bring our message...
