What Modivates Me?
To be motivated, we first need to have something to apply that motivation to. For me that the ability to change the world. I know how that sounds but one person change the world, through person connection and inspiration. It’s difficult to inspire without the passion and the difference between me and all the other people who are trying to change the world is passion. When I care for something I will give it my all. What modivates me is the world. The nwews in the world, whats changing in the world and my abilty and my effect on this world. This is what keeps me going. Trying to achieve equality, happiness and frienship are the kind of things i think will change this world :)

Motivation
For us to be motivated, we first have to be aware of the issues around us. We need information on the issues before we can have an option on them and the drive to do something about it. It's very difficult to be inspired to do anything without passion being the driving force behind it, and knowledge is power and a voice is power. One of the fastest and easiest ways to spread the word and have a voice about an issue that you may want to be made known is through using Facebook and the internet. On Facebook there is an application "Causes' allows people to spread the word about any issue, this way it gets the cause out there and information on it. If one person was to invite one person and so on, the word is out there. If one person were to take this interest outside of Facebook and put it in to action, and actually DID something, it would inspire many others to take interest as well.
What's my personal take on social responsibility?
For me, my social responsibility is being productive, positive member of society and putting forth in action. This means helping out those who need it, at least in some way, and that way could include helping through spread of word. To contribute positivity to the world around us in whatever way we can manage. And that could be helping out friends when they need it, or actions on a much grander scale. My job here as a modivated youth, is to be involved and informed and do my best to enforce that to others around me, through leading by example. In a positive and
What motivates me to get involved, follow, or lead change?
My motivation is solely based on others around me. When something in the world is impacted negatively, I find it my job to change that. If I were to see someone hurt, either physical or emotional I feel it my need to do something. I want to do anything I can to make them feel at least a little bit better.
What issues are important to me?
The most important issue to me is equality. People are people, no matter the race, religious belief, sexuality and gender we are all people. If I hear any discriminating it upsets me, for people to pick out flaws or just make fun in general I find it irritating. When people are discriminate against other people it hurts. For example when people are sour against gays, it sucks because that’s something that they cant control, its something that is imprinted since birth, it’s like making fun of someone in wheelchair. Equality and for people to just care about each other is what I’m passionate about.

Peace Heros
I think the most inspirational peace hero is Rosa Parks because of her attitude and the way she talked, spoke out on how we were human beings and we should be treated as such, spoke about everyone being equals, and things like skin color didn’t matter Parks was arrested on December 1st, 1955 for refusing to stand up on the orders of the bus driver, after the white seats had been occupied in the front. Parks was not in the front of the bus as many people have written and spoken that she was. She took a seat that was just back of where the white people were sitting, in fact, the last seat. A man was next to the window, and I took an aisle seat and there were two women across. She went on undisturbed until about the second or third stop when some white people boarded the bus and left one man standing. And when the driver noticed him standing, he told her to stand up and let him have those seats. He referred to them as front seats. And when the other three people, after some hesitancy, stood up, he wanted to know if she was going to stand up, and she said no. The bus driver said that he would have her arrested, and she said he may do that and he did. She was arrested. Now how was that fair? That’s how it was in those times and Rosa Parks was the first one to stand up for that. Parks is the most inspirational peace hero to me because she lend following her heart and for what’s right. It takes a lot to stand up, and she did, suffering consequences but it impacted the world and made a change. This was one of the first steps in equality.
Another motivational peace hero is Marten Luther King Jr because of his amazing work in civil rights. He’s my number two because of all his motivational quotes and speeches. One of his well known quotes is “All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” This relates to people and people treating others good because in the end it comes back to you.
My next favorite inspirational peace hero is Nelson Mandela because of his quote “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Mandela was a firm believer in freedom and that’s inspiring. I feel that people should lead by example and that’s what he does and that’s leading by freedom and fighting for well deserved rights.
