Students are peculiar people in any society of the world. The most vibrant and articulate social class in contemporary capitalist societies. The repository of both ancient and modem knowledge which could entitle them to top hierarchy positions in work places. Which means management cadre is an exclusive preserve of the students in this world of work.
But this ideal trajectory could only be manifested by the students when there exists a vibrant and articulate student Union in the society that puts pressure on the state and it's management team to provide the blueprint for implementation.
Because the crisis of Capitalism could only be ameliorated through the equal access to power for negotiations by all social classes aggregated on the criteria of Unionism, which the students are entitled to the game.
In the European countries, the United States of America and other advance countries, the student Union as a distinct body is recognized and accorded the privileges for Good Life all over. It enjoys social security packages and other palliatives so that they could withstand the abrasive crisis of Capitalism.
But in the third world nations, students Unionism are more of the words than actions. The students are factionalized on ethnic and religious boundaries. These primodial particularities are the causes of the failures of the students to obtain a better bargain from the state.
I would like the population of this forum to contribute to this great debate. Thanks.
I believe that student unions should be aware of the hazards and advantages of social media and devise a plan that takes both into consideration. For example, they may develop a social media strategy that specifies how it should be used and how to handle any disinformation or abuse. They might also instruct their members on how to use social media safely. Finally, they might ensure that they have other lines of communication that do not rely on social media, such as email, SMS, or in-person meetings. This way, they may still contact their members even if social media is disrupted or exploited. However, social media can be both a blessing and a burden for students unions. So it's advisable to let them know about the risks involved and the benefits of social media.
