Young Global Citizens
Have you ever thought that you would like to change the world? Well, you can. There are many youth service organizations that give young people the opportunity to help their communities and the world. Older people often donate money to help causes that they are interested in. Young people usually do not have extra money to donate, but they often have more time and energy than older people, so they can volunteer to help. There are different ways to do youth service. You can look for organizations that already exist in your area and volunteer. If there are no local organizations that you are interested in, you and your friends can start an organization yourselves. These types of organizations focus on local projects like planting trees or helping senior citizens. If you are graduating from high school or college, you might want to think about becoming an international volunteer. In countries around the world, international volunteers work in nutrition programs, help build houses, teach English and other languages, and do many other things to help people have better lives and more opportunities. Youth service is good for the world, but it is also very good for the young people who do it. Why is volunteering for a youth service good for you? It … • gives you more self-confidence. • develops skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and working on a team. • teaches leadership skills. • lets you express your opinions about important topics. • can help you learn more about your future profession. • helps you create a network of professional contacts. • lets you meet new friends with interests similar to yours. If you are interested in finding ideas for youth service, you can go online and look up Global Youth Service Day. You can find out how to organize a project like cleaning up trash or starting a community garden. You can get ideas for doing something nice for people, like helping in a home for senior citizens or making birthday cards for kids in a children’s hospital. Learn how to use social media to become a citizen journalist. leadership

Instructions:
Read the article about a youth tribe. Then answer questions.
What is youth subculture?
It’s a group of people within a cultural society that differentiates itself from the conservative and standard values to which it belongs, often maintaining some of its founding principles. Subcultures develop their own norms and values regarding cultural, political, and sexual matters.
OTAKU: YOUTH SUBCULTURE
A variety of youth subcultures have appeared in Japan after World War II. One of the most relevant subcultures that has attracted attention among the young people, public, and academic circles is the tribe “Otaku”. They are obsessive fans of manga, anime, videogames, and other forms of the Japanese culture. The Otaku fans are also called “nerds” or “geeks” since in the collective imagination of the people, they are unattractive men and women with a little social life. An otaku, the journalist Tsuzuki Kyoichi concluded, is “someone who doesn’t look good, who has no girlfriend or boyfriend, who is collecting silly things, and . . . who is into something useless.” This youth tribe was emerged between the 1970s and the 1980s, but in the last year it has flourished since they provide insights into the impact of affluence, technology, and the media on young Japanese, the globalization of Japan’s vibrant youth culture, and the diverse social challenges confronting millennial Japan. In my opinion, the Otaku youth culture has a significant subversive power against social systems, especially that of education. Young people need to be part of a group that shares the same ideas, values, and ways of viewing life.

Creative uses for plastic
As most of us now know, plastic is a very useful material that is also incredibly hard to get rid of. Plastic that ends up in a landfill will last for a very long time, possibly as long as a thousand years. The problem is that we just use so much of it. If the plastic doesn’t end up in landfills, we have an even bigger problem, because if we don’t get rid of it sensibly, it harms wildlife. If we burn it, it causes terrible pollution. Not forgetting that when the plastic is made, it uses up a lot of water—our most valuable natural resource. This is why many people have been motivated to find other uses for plastic, so that it doesn’t end up polluting the Earth. Plastic bottles can be reused with a little imagination (we don’t recommend reusing them for drinking more than a few times). People all over the world have found some amazing uses for old bottles from things to keep pens into containers to put outside and feed the birds. There are thousands of possibilities. Plastic bags, too, can be reused. Here again, a quick search online will reveal a great many new and imaginative ideas. Have you ever thought of putting them over your hands, for example, when you have dirty chores to do? Or over your feet when it’s raining? Talking of feet, if you sprain your ankle or have another kind of injury, you can use a plastic bag filled with ice to put on it. You can cut them and make a strong yarn out of them—and there are a thousand more things you can make and even wear! Some creative people make beautiful jewelry out of them. Any kind of second (or third or fourth) use for plastic is better than just getting rid of it. Finally, stores are asking customers to pay for plastic bags. This is the best thing they can do to make us start thinking about the problem.
