IF YOU ASK ABOUT SOCIAL CHANGE


If you ask a political scientist about social change, he/she would say that election and mobilisation are platforms for it.
If you ask a sociologist about social change, he/she would state that discourse and critique are avenues for it.
If you ask an international relationist about social change, he/she would answer that global governance and great powers are mediums for it.
If you ask an economist about social change, he/she would reply that finance and investment are tools for it.
If you ask an educationist about social change, he/she would mention that nurture and development are ways for it.
If you ask a religionist about social change, he/she would say that worship and remembrance are paths for it.
Thus, actually, social change begins with oneself, using all of the above ways to achieve the social change that we dream for collectively.
