Are you the World's Mockingjay?

"Fire is catching! And if we burn, you  burn with us."

Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire, in Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series, ignites the world of Panem to revolt against an oppressive Capitol, serving as the face of an ever growing rebellion. She is Panem's hope, she is the Mockingjay.



Panem and our world are not different, both share a war, a war fought on many fronts, battles against, poverty, oppression, terrorism, drugs, and bullying

Most of us idolize Katniss, having the ability to lead a rebellion into victory, yet unknown to most of us, is that everyone can be a Katniss, everyone can be a Mockingjay.

Letting the seeds of rebellion grow 

Everyone has the seed of rebellion in them. it's just that it hasn't grown yet. As a Mockingjay, your job is to let these seeds grow, with awareness and the urget to take action. It's one thing to be ignorant of a problem, another to be aware of it, and a totally different thing if you decide to do something about it. 

It is the Mockingjay that convince people that, yes, they can do something. It is the Mockingjay that tears off the shrouds of ignorance and deceit  letting people see out of the dark, into the light, grasping the truth.  

The Mockingjay is the catalyst to an uprising that has been long overdue.

Lighting a united flame

A Mockingjay rouses several uprisings in different areas, but unifying theses little uprisings into one, is a different story, it's what we call, a full-scale revolution.

When people unite for a cause, they are invincible. People who fight alongside each other, achieve the impossible. 

The Mockingjay, rallies the people to one global and united cause. Urging others to work together against a common enemy. 

Are you the Mockingjay? 

Look around, our world is filled with Mockingjays, all 1,809,000,000 of them, in fact, 1/4 of the world population are Mockingjays, the World's Mockingjays are what we call the Youth.

They youth despite their young age, have proven time and time again that they can make a difference.

The youth utilizing social media, has managed to topple an oppressive regime, proven by the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, when videos of protests uploaded to YouTube, piqued world interest. With the world behind the protesters back, supporting their cause, it was only a matter of time before Mubarak fell out of power.

The youth in being part of campaigns against bullying, during a large movement every February 27, where London Drugs, encourage everyone to wear a pink t-shirt to send a message against bullying.

Drugs have been a long issue, the world actively participates every June 26, as the International Day Against Drug Abuse. 

And finally the youth through education, has brought up a nation out of the clutches of poverty, building a productive economy, and a better country. 

According to Filipino Hero Dr. Jose Rizal:

"The youth is the hope of the motherland." 

The Mockingjays are the epitome of hope, the hope of humanity, the hope of the world.
