Summarizing my Media Topic

Over the last few weeks I have researched general news by reading online newspaper articles from various sources. Although the articles covered a wide range of events they were primarily about politicians and student activists in the United States and abroad. All of them were written quite recently, within a few days of when I began reading up on the topic. Through the articles I learned that change is happening nearby and abroad; change in politics, change in economics, and, perhaps most importantly, change in the way people think. The most interesting thing I read about were student protests in South Africa that are fighting against the undercurrents of racism in the country. After seeing an offensive video that showcased racism in a South African university students took it upon themselves to rally against the injustice. This story embodies a theme that I saw from one news article to the next: change is being made by people to better the world in which they live.
