1161 Words5 Pages

Ishan Parashar (M-14-06) DoMS, RGIPT 1 Fight against Corruption: Role of Youth “Youth is a spark that can lighten or burn an entire nation” – Anonymous As perfectly described in the above quote, youth is a force that can change the course a nation in a matter of few months which otherwise takes years. Bubbling with energy with a desire to succeed and prove oneself, this force can do wonders. Over many years it has been very common to have heard speeches that include lines regarding youth and their role in the fight against corruption. How they should uphold moral values, how they should avoid themselves and deter others from resorting to corrupt practices. It is true as well. However one must ponder, considering we all know this fact, why hasn’t any generation been able to take an effective stand against corruption but tries to inspire the next generation to take up the task? The answer to this is guidance. The power of a united youth towards a common goal can do wonders and create history. Whether the history is to get inspired from or shiver from depends on the guidance that one gives. Leadership of Adolf Hitler can be seen as a dreadful example in this regard.

Hitler could harness the power of youth and as a result, in the name of the Fuhrer, the German youth committed horrible atrocities as

Teens at these camps were told to reproduce and that it was okay to do so before marriage because they are “married to the Reich”. The groups of girls seemed to focus more on things such as gymnastics while the boys' camp became a sort of mini military. These camps would make the boys learn to idolize the war until they were chosen to help

    The key to successful leadership is influence, not authority. Based on my reading of The Epic of Gilgamesh, I found that influence of the leader in the Ancient Near East, was pivotal in order for the society to function. The Mesopotamian society had three major factors; economics, politics, and a system of values. All of these factors were intertwined, where one factor has influence on all the others. So when someone like Gilgamesh relies on his ability to lead only with authority, the society begins to divide.

    In Nazi Germany, books were removed from classrooms by censors and textbooks were rewritten, after-school meetings of the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls trained children to be faithful to the Nazi party. In both countries, teachers taught students blind obedience to the party, love for Hitler & Big Brother (who were both dictators), and anti semitism. In school and out, young people celebrated such occasions as their ruler’s birthday and the anniversary of his taking power. Corrupting children is a key component for a government to stay in power because when the corrupted children grow up , they will grow up to be trained to be obedient to the government and tell the police if they witnessed any crimes. For example, Winston’s next door neighbor, Parsons; had children who were trained by the government to report any suspicious activity and to have blind obedience to the Party.
