How Can educating the youth help in developing a socially conscious and healthy individuals who are aware of the various global health threats and concerns?

Sagot :

Education broadens the horizon of any individual. Learning and understanding new things enables an individual to evolve into a better person.

Youth is a very impressionable stage of an individual's growth. The lessons learned in that stage will greatly impact his or her growth as a mature individual. Consequences of an individual's actions are based on the values and principles learned during his or her youth. 

Youths are very self-involved. Therefore, they must be taught that whatever they are doing will greatly affect not only themselves but the people and environment around them. They must learn that the world does not evolve around their wants and needs, they must also be made aware of what is happening in their surroundings. They can either contribute to the problem or become a part of a solution to a problem that is bigger than they are.
