The constant exposure to real-time events on social media can shape perspectives and trigger activism. The speaker questions if historical events like World War II would have unfolded differently with social media documenting atrocities. They highlight the tendency of today's youth to engage in protests but overlook serious global issues not widely covered on social media. The speaker urges them to focus on present-day human rights violations and gender apartheid rather than solely emphasizing apartheid in the past.
