Introduction edit
Hi I am a junior in the Law, Politics, and Society program at Drake University and I am excited to be on Wikipedia! I am a student in a class called Global Youth Studies at Drake University. Drake University/ Global Youth Studies
Topics that interest me are Youth empowerment and how youth around the world become empowered, Youth rights and what it means, and youth activism regarding social movements such as Yo Soy 132.
Topic and proposal edit
After spending some time searching on Wikipedia, I found that I am interested in the youth social change movement in Mexico, specifically the Yo Soy 132 campaign in Mexico. The current article already has images that are appropriate of the article, but I believe I should change the image and replace it with one of the youths involved in the movement and catches the attention of readers. I will have to go through the Wikipedia tutorials to find out how to put images into an article and how to expand and update an article. I have to find non copyrighted image of the protest movement.
I have been searching and making sure there is an abundance of news articles and scholarly articles detailing the Yo Soy 132 movement and making sure the information that I am receiving is from legitimate sources. I am intrigued about the movement and how it is still going in Mexico, compared to other movements such as the Occupy movement. Being able to expand the article and update it will mean that individuals will have the latest information over the Yo Soy 132 movement as well as scholarly articles for reference. One of the resources that I will be using (which are found on [1]), is the New Internationalist. Oct2012, Issue 456, p24-25. 2p.and various articles from reputable news sources over the Yo Soy 132 movement from the past couple of months. This way all the information will be up to date when I post it into my article.
One of the main areas that I will be expanding is the protest section of the Article, due to their being more recent activities that the movement has been a part of and has not been covered. I will also link the movement to the Occupy movement through the links and that way people can see the connection of the social movements. I hope to educate individuals over the social movement spearheaded by youth in Mexico.
