Like so many people throughout history, including Martin Luther King, they may place their lives at stake if the political environment they interact with or live in is volatile.
Conclusions
The ideals and concepts presented in this paper reflect the views of the author. I chose the ideas of a collective consciousness and the idea of developing personality first, outside the realm of politics, before any one person or group commits to a "cause" they may or may not know anything about. Far too often in modern society youths are tempted to engage in activities and acts that defy their culture, integrity and nature. Through collective reasoning however, and discovery of ones skills, students can grow into adults that are diverse, adults that recognize change as positive, and adults that are less likely to engage in combat to make a point.

Making politics less influential is important. It is possible however when people find their self or personality through means other than politics, such as their culture or their interactions, or even the basic needs, wants and desires all have that, at some point, must be fulfilled. When this happens politics serve a lesser role, and the people involved in politics offer a more diverse group of people from which others may learn from. Self preservation and sense of community can be accomplished, without the need for one to commit themselves one way or another to a political cause.

Chicano History: An Overview of Chicano Historiography The past shapes the present, and to understand the present, we must understand the past.
