UERJ 2009/1Political activism
Earlier this year I had the privilege to sit in on a
lunch discussion with James Carroll, a Boston Globe
columnist who was visiting my university to give a
speech on his latest book. The dialogue eventually
[5] came around to discussing the differences between
youth protests today and those during the 1960s. He
suggested that youth in the latter period had more of
an influence than today simply because they were
able to involve politicians in their rallies, petitions
[10] and causes. Conversely, when today’s youth hold a
demonstration in front of a parliament building or
contest a particular aspect of an institution, their forms
of protest lack influence to cause change because
they do not have any political figures or individuals
[15] involved in their particular protest.
At this point, the issue of how we as youth can
attract politicians to become part of our campaigns
and protests in order to successfully effect political
change should be explored. First, we as Canadian
[20] youth must become involved in organizations and
groups that address current social and political issues
that affect us. Involvement increases youth awareness
and influence. Groups or organizations that deal
with issues such as the environment, poverty, gender
[25] equality and others that may be of interest to you
are worth joining. Organizational involvement gives
youth a platform from which to express their opinions
about issues of importance.
Involvement does not have to be centred on issues
[30] on a grand scale; more local events may persuade
you to get involved. Joining an organization that is
dedicated to, for example, preventing the closing of
a local public school or big box stores from entering
the neighbourhood, are also avenues where engaged
[35] youth can make a difference. By simply involving
ourselves with these issues and organizations, we
allow ourselves the opportunity to meet people of
influence, whether they be politicians or others who
have a direct influence on social and political events
[40] in our communities, cities, provinces or country.
Involvement in community issues and political
campaigns are great opportunities to gain access
to individuals such as politicians and community
leaders. These connections can then be used in our
[45] favour when attempting to advance our own cause
or demonstrations. Any argument will have a greater
influence when it is supported by members of the
political community.
If you are dedicated to making a difference in your
[50] community, or are dedicated to a cause and are
frustrated that your voice is not being heard, try to
acquire political leaders’ attention and aid in pursuing
causes that affect and concern youth. Our young
political ancestors of the 1960s did this effectively; it
[55] is time that the youth of the current generation learn
from their example and attempt to gain established
political support for our causes.

Cherished Friends
[1] God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
[5] He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
[10] I think He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes,
Or goals we can't attain.
[15] He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship,
Unselfish... lasting... true,
[20] And so God answered the heart's great need
With cherished friends... like you!

The Rose-Tree
[1] A man had two children, a daughter by his first wife and a son by his second. His
daughter was very beautiful, and her brother loved her but his mother hated her.
The stepmother sent the daughter to the store to buy candles. Three times, the girl put
down the candles to climb a stile, and a dog stole them.
[5] The stepmother told her to come and let her comb her hair. She claimed she could not
comb it on her knee, or with the comb, and sent the girl for a piece of wood and an axe,
and cut off her head.
She stewed her heart and liver, and her husband tasted them and said they tasted
strangely. The brother did not eat but buried his sister under a rose-tree. Every day he
[10] wept under it.
One day, the rose-tree flowered, and a white bird appeared. It sang to a cobbler and
received a pair of red shoes; it sang to a watchmaker and received a gold watch and
chain; it sang to three millers and received a millstone. Then it flew home and rattled the
millstone against the eaves. The stepmother said that it thundered, and the boy ran out,
[20] and the bird dropped the shoes at his feet. It rattled the millstone again, the stepmother
said that it thundered, the father went out, and the bird dropped the watch and chain at
his feet. It rattled the millstone a third time, and the stepmother went out, and the bird
dropped the millstone on her head.

UFPR 2009NEW YORK, (Reuters Life!) – A New Jersey man trying to exterminate insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported on Monday. Isias Vidal Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80 percent of his apartment was destroyed, Eatontown, New Jersey police told the newspaper. The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that blew out the apartment`s front windows and trigged a fire that quickly spread, the newspaper said. Police told the newspaper that the Saturday blaze also caused smoke damage to the apartment above.
