Art has many shapes and forms but, I believe it is important for activism. This is because in my opinion art is a universal language that everyone can understand to an extent. Wether it be music, a painting or dance, everyone can sense a mood or vibe it gives off, so even though it may be unfamiliar you can understand it. Activism through art has been around for a long time yet in today's modern world I believe works perfectly. An art-based approach is a positive alternative because it stimulates empathy. Empathy is necessary to achieve social and environmental justice. To effect real change, activism need to work through cultural means. Additionally Art sets an image, and if we want the world to change we have to imagine and see what would change look like. Through this these ideas and ideals inspire us to get up and out in the morning to change the world, and attract others to work with us.

I believe that both World History and Current Event Advocacy are important but, a majority of Current event advocacy comes from the past of world history. Theres the saying we can learn from our mistakes and the past or the World history is something we can learn from. We can see how or if they handled the problem in the past and see where we can build off from that and try to advocate ourselves for the solution. One thing I learned from RYWC is that our voices can be heard. Our generation is strong and through each other we can advocate and fight for a word we want to live in. They also taught us even us kanaka of Hawai’i can have a voice and advocate for ourselves. If we come together we can create any solution for any problem. Thanks to Kumu Jess who works with RYWC for letting us explore the world of advocacy, through many different outlets, letting us know any 1975_08. (n.d.).
