Words can make a lot of difference and if you do not believe, this YouTube video by young artists for Haiti performing Wavin’ Flag is a must-see for you. The world came to a halt following the devastation in Haiti and this music video by Canadian artists to record inspirational anthem “Waving’ Flag” was one of the best tributes for those at the receiving end.

The political landscape in Botswana is getting a new definition with the country’s political stage attracting the attention of the young and old with equal flavor. The entire world is watching, including President Robert Mugabe.

The fact that young people have a better understanding of situations and better positioned to tackle those goes into favor of the youth and politics should allow young people.

From Sundaystandard.info:

I love young people. In my opinion there have been stereotypes that portrayed them as shallow minded, irresponsible, too young to think for themselves, not confident enough to lead and hence could not be trusted with the future of our country.

They are referred to as ‘Leaders of tomorrow’ when they think they can start doing it today. I am aware that politics need patience and control which is missing in most of young people, but we all learn as we go.

Young people are generally impulsive and can act in a wrong manner without thinking.

But with mentorship and advice of the older generation they can take out the best in them. A country cannot think for tomorrow with yesterday’s ideas.

The problems our nation faces are new and require new ways of tackling them which the old guard cannot offer.

Young people would have a better understanding of the situation now and are better equipped to tackle the situation.

While the nation moves on from one idea to another the old generation remains stuck with the old framework that they realized early on, they continue to see all situations and solutions to them through this same old understanding which may no longer be valid.

Political system of each country must have a blend of elders and youth so that passion, patriotism, and management of politics stimulate the growth and development of countries.
