Introduction
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.
Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.

that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event

took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.
Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have

Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.

Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.

happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.

Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.
Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.
Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.

lOMoARcPSD|62176900
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the
article, Joshua Wong says “ People should not be afraid of their government, the government
should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.
Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

lOMoARcPSD|62176900
that the youth face is that democracy is limited and oppressive. China allows the citizens to vote
for the candidate, the catch here is that the candidates are chosen from the government. For years
the youth in Hong Kong have not been involved in politics. They were not expected to get
involved in politics due to fear. In the article, “ Echoing Tiananmen, 17-year-old Hong Kong
student prepares for democracy battle” CNN interviews another former protestor, named Hu Jia.
He says “ Fear has been deeply rooted in our genes through the past 65 years. The majority of
China’s 1.3 billion people are not true citizens- most of the people are simply submissive.” This
shows that politics in China are oppressive, and submit to the government. The Tiananmen event
encouraged and influenced these youth that want change. They were influenced by the event that
took place in Tiananmen, this caused the youth to protest their government.

Youth Response and Influence
The youth saw the way the government treats the citizens, and the Tiananmen event.
Joshua Wong at the age of fifteen, started to inspire fellow students to get involved in the politics
of the country. They are empowered in Hong Kong because they are not in mainland China. The
article states “ with its relative freedom, is (Hong Kong) a perfect place for activists to spark a
democracy movement that could sweep all of mainland China.” The effect the youth has had in
their community reaches nationwide for China. These students’ protests have mainland china
scared for their political control. A Lot of books, articles, reports and photos have been coming
out of Hong Kong and reaching people in China. The influence that Johsua Wong has had has
reached beyond his fellow classmates, past the community of his town, and spread into his
country.

Connecting with Youth in Hong Kong
When traveling to Hong Kong, as a youth leader the things that should be considered is
the culture when it comes to politics, oppression, and lack of freedom within the youth. As
someone from America, we have different political freedoms that they don’t have. We have
freedoms like speech, press, religion, and petition. When visiting this country we would have to
be careful and mindful of the government’s control. Their lack of freedom to us, might not be
realized. People who are controlled by their government to this level don’t realize they “lack
freedom”. The youth in Hong Kong are eager to stand against the government’s oppressions, so
to connect with the students best is to not force American politics on their current situations. As a
leader in this country the best thing to do is support the youth in their protests and not to lead
these protests but to support them.

Conclusion
To conclude this case study, Hong Kong’s youth is influenced by the government. The
government has control on most aspects of their lives. Another influence on the youth is what
happened at Tiananmen square in China. They also had influence from Joshua Wong, a fellow
student and teen. This created a divide between the youth searching for political freedom and the
government. The youth’s response to these influences were to stand up against their government
and to boldly protest. Finally the best way to reach these youth is to support them without
overstepping personal views into the situation.
Every culture has its influences, cultural norms, expectations, and expressions. According
to the article “ Meet the 17-year-old Leading Hong Kong’s Protests” we see the youth have
influences, norms, expectations, and expressions when it comes to the political atmosphere of
lOMoARcPSD|62176900
Hong Kong. In the political culture in Hong Kong, it's very anti-democracy, and the citizens
frequently experience universal suffrage. A teenager named Joshua Wong, decided to make a
change within the view on politics within the youth.
Influences of Youth Culture in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the political environment is very difficult to express your views and
freedoms. Culturally,the government of mainland China censors the peoples speech and beliefs.
mainland citizens tend to get news that has been edited and at later events. According to the

should be afraid of their people.” He got this quote from the movie “V is for Vendetta”. The issue
