We all know that being socially aware means that you understand how you react to different social situations and effectively modify your interactions with other people, so that you achieve the best results. According to Karl Marx, human beings enter into certain productive or economic relations which lead to a form of social consciousness. Social awareness gives us the ability to understand and respond to others’ needs. By doing so, we improve our social skills and gain the respect of others. To achieve this, basically, we need to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Someone who is desperate and in need of help. Empathy helps us understand someone else’s perspective. In a nutshell, social awareness is defined as being aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis. Read more

The role of Youth in the society
“Which one of you is Malala?” asked the gunman and the bullet travelled 18 inches from the side of her left eye, down the neck landing into her shoulder. The rest is history. She now says “Nothing changed my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.” The UN Secretary then pronounced “12th July” as Malala Day” in honour of the young leader, Malala Yousafzai (Her birthday). Ignited in spirit, Malala was instrumental in creating global awareness of “Importance of educating the girl child”. She gave a vision to the society and the world at large to educate the girl child and hopes to aspire higher in life.
