EDITORIAL

Hello  VIS...

The holi-

days are long gone,

and with them our liveliness. This new semester will

doubtless bring endless commentary of the teeming

workload that awaits us. But fear not; we have an excellent edition of

the Spotlight to lessen your load and revitalize those crushed spirits.

The first 2014 issue of The Spotlight is con-cerned with all things ‘Generation Y’. Generation

Y or the Millenial Generation is the demographic of people born between the early 1980s to the early 2000s –

essentially, VIS’ Secondary school. So who are we? What are our likes and dislikes, our obsessions and superstitions? How

does the world see fit to label us, and is this stereotype in any way founded? These are just a few of the questions we hope to raise as we

traverse this pertinent topic.

For those of you feeling inspired this season, send us your articles at the official Spotlight email [email protected], we will be awaiting your submissions.

Ever since the beginning of youth culture in the 1950s, there has always been a definitive movement that has bound young people together. Around the world youth culture was diverse and detectable. In the 60s there was peace and unity; in the 70s it was free-love and disco; in the 80s the emersion of rock, rebellion against authori-ty, anarchy! And in the 90s there was Grunge, R’n’B and Hip hop. No matter the decade there always seemed to be a fight, a purpose, a statement. Until now. In the past decade, we look into youth culture and see obscurity. No longer do we have a common cause, there is no specific youth movement, at least not one that can you can put your finger on. Instead we find ourselves in a world where new perspectives and ideas are continuously manifesting, each expanding rapidly and uncontrollably. People want their voice to be heard, to share their story. There is an undercurrent of rebellion, an underlying yearning

for freedom, expression, but against what and for what? What is the battle cry of our generation?

Generation Y was a term attributed to those born in the early 80s to round about the beginning of the new millennia (2000). There are many classifica-tions as to what this generation is all about, countless theories about what drives us to think the way we do and act the way we act. These definitions vary, but one of the common denominators in all of them is that we are tech-savvy. Technology is something that began expanding rapidly in our childhood. As a result of this, in the past ten years alone, we have experienced the jump from the first iPod to the iPhone 5, from the standard computer to the tablet. Its massive growth demonstrated speed in development and engulfed us in a tidal wave of information. Movies, music, TV-shows, games all began to take the form of educators. We learnt about love from The Note-book, about what it means to be cool from Fast and Furious (1,2,3,4,5,6 - take your pick), Taylor Swift guides us through broken hearts and Justin Bieber sets the stage for swag (whatever that is). We grew up in a world in which we were promised that all our problems could be solved instantly – just order now! Buy now! Press here! Use once! We want it, we got it – hopefully for free, but if not there is always something faster and better else-where.

On top of this we now have access to something that no one before our time had: instant commu-nication on a global scale.You want to have a chat with your friend, no need to write a letter and wait a month for the response to come, just grab the computer and send a message on Facebook.

You want to share a thought, tweet it. Maybe you just want to show people that amazing

lunch you had yesterday, in which case Insta-gram is for you. We have all heard about the repercussions of this need for consumption and our obsession for technology that, generally, young people seem to have, but there is more to it than that. It is this very ability to connect with people half way across the world that holds the possibility

for this generation to do something truly great. Our future may not look bright in many ways, we are going to inherit a world plagued by pollution, debt, pov-erty and unemployment, but we will not fail to change it, because our generation is one of innovators. Yes, we can be lazy, apathetic, painfully inarticulate and impatient. No, most of us don’t know how to build shel-ter, make a fire and scavenge for food. Many of us only read actual books if we really have to, and sometimes not even then because watching the movie is easier. We may not be able to define ourselves through one specific movement, but every now and then we catch glimpses of young people who are beginning to create a new teen culture, one that relies on creativity, boldness and iden-tifying themselves as individuals. Our generation may not be brimming with originality, but we are overflowing with imagination and our battle cry will be change.

The human need to idolize is an age-old phenomenon. The

powerful gods of the Greek pantheons, various ancient

Egyptian pharaohs and even select gladiators and Olympic

victors in the ancient Roman Empire are all examples of

celebrities that were historically worshipped.

In today’s society our most prominent idols are typically

popular musicians and Hollywood movie stars. Boy band

craze ‘One Direction’ has captured the hearts of hoards of

twelve-year-old girls, almost on par with the multitude of

Justin-Bieber-worshipping ‘Beliebers’. The legacy of re-

nowned rapper Tupac has accounted for many fan-painted

murals and tattoos of his likeness, and celebrated ‘hottie’

Ryan Gosling is often referred to among fans as Ryan

“Godling”.

However, the dawn of the Internet has presented us with

an entirely new class of celebrity: that of the YouTube star.

A frequented pastime of many tweens, adolescents and

adults is watching videos by their favourite YouTubers.

Popular YouTube personas include Charlie McDonnel,

known for his channel ‘charlieissocoollike’ with over 2.2

million subscribers, Jack Harries from ‘JacksGap’ with 3.2

million subscribers, and Jenna Mourey a.k.a. Jenna Mar-

bles who has over 12 million subscribers, making hers

the top channel operated by a woman. With such a large

fan-base, prominent YouTubers have vast exposure in the

global community. As such, they have a significant hold on

the minds of our generation.

On the surface a YouTuber might appear to be very similar

to a filmstar worshipped by their fans. However, nothing

could be further from the truth. Although both seek to en-

tertain, movie stars and classical celebrities are distanced

from their supporters. In fact, the main way

that they communicate with their followers is through in-

terviews, via a reporter or talk-show host. The attraction

of the YouTuber is that the video medium allows them to

build a fictitious “relationship” with their audience by ap-

pearing to speak only to the viewer directly. Despite the

lack of any personal or face-to-face interaction, the façade

of a relationship is strengthened as the YouTuber progres-

sively reveals more intimate details about themselves in

their videos.

YouTubers appeal to their audience because they are so

relatable. Most YouTubers are from the Millennial Gener-

ation – ranging from those in their teens to those in their

early-30s. Subsequently many viewers (who are usually

within the same age range) can empathize with their life-

styles and experiences. Moreover, the fact that they are of-

ten perfectly ordinary ‘average Joes’ (often unknown prior

to their YouTube fandom) makes them all the more famil-

iar. For many fans it fuels them with the hope that they too

can one day achieve a comparable level of fame, whilst for

others it’s simply a means of comforting themselves and

feeling slightly less alone in the world.

To save the world

Activism today has turned into some-thing completely different from what it was fifty years ago. Memorable pro-tests, such as the Civil Rights Move-ment in the United States, or the fa-mous May Protests in 1968 in France, are models of the past. In the Western World, our generation seems to be split into two groups: so called, “Slacktiv-ists”, people who want to change the world but don’t do anything about it, or try to solve all the worlds problems at once on their computer and those that are simply not interested; the peo-ple that think Miley Cyrus ‘twerking’ is of more significance than the civil war in Syria.

Then again, this is the reality of the 21st century; it is a competition for the thing that we all seem to have too little of: attention. We often hear members of ‘Generation Y’ speaking about wanting to change the world, but what contributions are they really willing to make?

They may have just signed an online petition, “liked” a cause on Face-book, or donated to a campaign – to save Europe’s bees from pesticides, defend Masai land rights in Tanza-nia, or “support” Edward Snowden. And, depending on who you believe, they’re either inventing a new type of 21st-century protest or they’re a bunch of idle Slacktivists who are

about as likely to start a revolution as they are to renounce their iPhones and give up Facebook.

No matter what you believe, the fact is that this has started a new global phenomenon: the rise of online pro-test, otherwise known as “Clicktiv-ism”. And while its critics dispute what it has actually achieved, there’s no doubt online activism organiza-tions have become huge and influen-tial players on the world stage.

For all its bluster, online activism has become important enough to cause a lot of contentiousness and jealousy on the part of traditional charities such as Oxfam, as well as to raise the at-tention of heads of states, yet it raises the question about the future of liberal activism.

According to online activism organi-zations, the largest of which is ‘Avaaz’, its approach is less ‘bleeding-heart’ liberal than ‘hard-headed’ pragmatist. They don’t launch campaigns to save fin whales from being butchered or to bring peace to Palestine, because they believe in it, but because they think it will be successful, according to the CEO of ‘Avaaz’, Ricken Patel. This ensures that members have ultimate power, that they are the boss, and not Patel himself.

What organizations such as Avaaz are doing is trying to unlock the secrets of the internet – of what makes one vid-eo of a cute kitten falling over go vi-ral, but not another – and to use those skills not on furthering Justin Bieber’s career or Lady Gaga’s album sales, but to potentially hinder genocide, forced rape, and species extinction.Everything is viral now, from finan-cial crises to health epidemics. And learning those lessons and how to gar-ner attention from some of the most attention-lacking people on the planet – young people with electronic devic-es – has been online activism’s mas-terstroke.

But it’s too much for some. It’s pre-cisely the sort of “slacktivism” that makes critics of what’s called “tech-no-Utopianism” despair. One can ar-gue that fifty years after one of the most extraordinary episodes of social upheaval in Western history, we seem to have forgotten what activism is.

Therefore one must question if online activism is nothing but a folly. Lik-ing a Facebook page will not save the world. Liking the picture titled ‘Like if you want to save this child’, will not actually save that child. It seems as though some people would click a button saying ‘click here to save the world’ and eagerly wait in front of their screen to see the results.

However, online activism, which goes beyond liking one Facebook picture, has recorded success. [ Rupert Mur-doch is an Australian business magnate with a net worth of $12.5 billion. He tried to buy the British television giant ‘Sky’, yet due to the Leveson inquiry, which was a phone hacking scandal in which newspapers owned by Murdoch hacked people’s cell phones, he failed at doing so.]Avaaz led a campaign against Rupert Murdoch’s takeover of BSkyB and during the Leveson Inquiry, subpoenaed emails proved its success. According to Patel Jeremy Hunt, his primary concern was the Avaaz cam-paign. They knew he was afraid of judicial review. So Avaaz hired top-notch council and promised him judicial review. Avaaz then had their members send 35,000 legally admissible admis-sions, leading Hunt to hire a team. Patel knew the phone hacking scandal was coming long before it hit, so Avaaz’s strategy was to draw out Hunt’s decision until it hit. And it played out beautifully. Avaaz didn’t ulti-mately win on Murdoch; he is still in a very good position right now. But it would have expanded his empire by 50% and Avaaz helped to stop it.

Maybe Slacktivism does have its advantages. Maybe online activists are less constrained, less scared. Maybe you can save fin whales and Edward Snowden and bring peace to Palestine, too. And in the time it’s taken you to read this article, another 500 people or so will have signed an online petition. Click here to save the world.

A new trend has been spreading faster than wildfire. It is the contemporary subcul-ture of the hipster trend. Al-though it first emerged in the 1990’s, Generation Y has taken it to a whole new level. Being a ‘hipster’ has created a paradox in which its original purpose of being genuine and authentic has been defeated. It is now no longer important to be avant garde or innovative. Ironically, as the style caught on, authen-ticity was no longer a question, as millions of people mirrored each other’s sloppy looks.

The look has gone main-stream - tweens all over the world are trying to become hipsters. Although the idea was initiated in the United States, there are ‘hipsters’ roaming the streets of Vienna with their iconic, carefully-put-together, vintage outfits. This only proves that the whole hipster idea is contra-dictory.

The hipster’s ideology is that they avoid all known brands and labels; they mustn’t look or behave like anyone else. However, they all dress the same, act the same and con-form in their non-conformity. Hipsters are supposed to hate anything mainstream or trendy. Yet, with one quick glance at social networks such as Facebook and Tumblr, one encounters millions of teens claiming to be hipsters with their bleached/dip-dyed hair, tie dye shirts and tri-angle sings. Doesn’t the fact that there is a hipster look go against the whole point of it? Can we not take pride in our

Aka ‘why wear decent clothes’

Sporting mainstream mus-taches and craft beer, the hipster is definitely one person you can effortlessly distinguish in a crowd, and subsequently decide to avoid. The term is not new, much like the clothes they wear. It derives from Nor-man Mailer’s description of men who adored jazz culture in the ‘20s, ’30s and ‘40s. This just goes to show how ‘origi-nal’, ‘genuine’ and ‘authentic’ hipsters truly are.

This postmodern subculture is often linked with teenagers and first appeared in the 1990‘s. Although, it became especially substantial in 2010, thanks to Generation Y. Most people as-sociate the trend with alternative and Indie music and a non-mainstream fashion sense oth-erwise known as the slapdash, grubby look. This also accounts for the increasing popularity in vintage and thrift shop clothing. Unfortunately, people no longer see the need to buy clothing that was not previously owned.

Many believe that the dreaded “Dooms-day” was meant to take place in 1999 when the West Nile Virus was discovered in the USA. Then, when the summer passed and the world did not end, the Apocalypse was pushed forward to 2000 and we focused all our fears on the dreaded Y2K. After the first days of the new millennium, we quickly convinced ourselves that the Bird Flu epidemic would surely bring an end to civiliza-tion, and after that, when this did not happen, it was the Swine Flu. Somehow we managed to survive through all of it, only to face the ancient Maya prophecy, which claimed that the world would end in 2012.Now, my throat may be a little scratchy from the cold and I might have a burn on the top of my mouth from drinking hot coffee, but other than that I’ve made it through the end of the world relatively unscathed. In fact, it seems that nearly everyone made it through these dooms-day scenarios pretty much intact. So, although I hate to make sweeping gener-alizations, I have to say that we might be just a little obsessed with the end of the world.In some respects our fascination with the apocalypse is understandable. After all, the end of the world would be one of the most significant events in the history of, well, the world. But our obsession is borderline maniacal.

As is often the case, many will ar-gue that the media is to blame. Some would assert that the doomsday sce-narios that unfold in books and mov-ies have become so commonplace that they’ve invaded our lives and taken up permanent residence in our thoughts, par-ticularly given the success of movies such as “2012” which dramatize the catastrophe. However, we’ve only to look through the record books to see that

humanity’s obsession with the end of the world predates mass media. The other popular argument is that we’re obsessed with the end of the world because we love sensationalism. People love to feel as though they are part of something momentous—and herein lies, what is in my opinion, the ultimate answer.

It seems that our obsession with the end of the world is really just an obsession with ourselves (and a kind of selfish one at that). The Earth is some 4.5 billion years old. There have been numerous me-teorite impacts, ice ages, plagues, wars, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and other extinctions. The continents have shifted. Generations of beings have lived and died here and there. Yet, the Earth still continues, relatively unchanged. Such things can make one feel rather small and insignificant—like a small blip in the vast cosmos.

We would like to believe that the world will literally end when we do. But this is simply not the case. Out of all the beings that have roamed the surface of the Earth, and all the ages that have come and gone, the chance of everything ending while we are here is amazingly slim. The universe, and most likely the Earth, will con-tinue long after we are gone.

This, however, does not mean that making a dif-ference is impossible, or that attempting to do so is futile; on the contrary, I feel as if this lack of power is a challenge for us to try to make as big an impact as we can during our time on earth, and to ensure that the legacy we leave behind for our descendants will be nothing less than admirable.So when most people talk about the end of the Earth, unsurprisingly, they seem certain that it is something that they will witness. One in ten people believed the world would end in 2012.One in SEVEN believes that the world will end during their lifetime. Ultimately, people are convinced that the “real end” is just around the corner. Such beliefs help to make us feel impor-tant, even special.

For those of you who do not know what that is, let me explain. Person of the Year is not an award for singers specifically, in fact it is not an award for any type of person. However, that

hasn’t interfered with the fact that for the past 86 years largely political figures have received the honour of being on the front cover of Times magazine in acceptance of the award. The definition of a ‘Person of the Year’ is someone, who in that year has had the most impact on global events for better or worse. This person cannot be deceased and only the impact they made in that year is measured. Just to put this into context, previous people of the year have included Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), Adolf Hitler (1938), Martin Luther King (1963), Barack Obama (2008) Mark Zuckerberg (2010) and several more American presidents. Upon seeing that Miley Cyrus was a nominee on StumbleUpon I nearly dropped my computer. At the time I was unaware of what the requirements were, so my first assumption was that it was an award given to someone who had done something remarkable that year, in a positive way. Needless to say, I kind of lost it. How could someone who had made themselves legendary for stuck out tongues and revealing outfits now be a nominee for ‘Person of the Year’? And for such a highly regarded magazine as the Times? Even greater was my surprise when I saw the list of the remaining 9 nominees, which included: Bashar Assad- President of Syria, Jeff Bezos - Amazon Founder, Pope Francis - Leader of the Catholic Church, Barack Obama - President of the United States, Edward Snowden - N.S.A. Leader (whistleblower) and Edith Windsor- gay rights activist. However, one thing that you can’t deny, whether you love, adore, dislike, despise or are indiffer-ent to Miley Cyrus, is that she has in fact made a huge impact this past year. From her haircut, to her clothing (or lack thereof), to her infamous performance at the VMAs in August 2013, Miley Cyrus has had people talking.

So why does this all matter? Because in a world where everyone is looking to get the highest shock value from a society that is no longer easily shocked, Miley Cyrus represents this genera-tion’s obsession for the obscene. It is important because she has become a symbolic figure. But fear not, we are not wholly to blame. Our world is shaped to cater to our every need. We want crazy, they’ll give us crazy. We want cool clothes, we’ll get them. We want to see more pictures of Miley Cyrus with her tongue out, no problem!

Miley Cyrus did not win the award, although it was close call. But if she had, she would have been the first woman to win in 27 years, the last woman having been Corazon Aquino, the first fe-male president of the Philippines. I don’t know exactly what that says about women or our global society, I will leave that up to you. But I would like to hope that the next time a woman is elected or even nominated to be ‘Person of the Year’, it will be because she has achieved something that changed the world for good. Who knows? Maybe that is very ambitious, but I sincerely hope it is not impossible.

When I started thinking about what my contribution to this Spotlight edition would be, the first thing that came to

mind was ‘I’ll do a piece on Miley Cyrus!’. This initial reaction had nothing to do with me having any sort of attachment to Miley Cyrus; ‘I’m not, like, her biggest fan or anything’. No, the reason I leapt at the opportunity to write some-thing about her was because in 2013 Miley Cyrus was one of the top ten nominees for the ‘Times Person of the Year’ award.

And The Person Of The

Year Is...

Miley Cyrus?

The Journey to Suicide

Isn’t it weird, how someone can be so happy and then a person - one person - can say something that just kills them inside even though it looks like they don’t care at all on the outside? And that person will just think of those words or that action everyday and it will just bury itself inside his or her soul and it will put an iron gate around itself so that nothing can get at it and make it better and it will just completely destroy them. Sometimes the person will forget what is behind that iron gate but they’ll continue to feel the pain of it and it will keep on getting worse and worse and worse.

Eventually another person will come along, usually of the opposite gender, and the pained person will fall head over heels for them and think constantly about them but thinking that they never think about them even though they do just as much but the don’t know and the thing in their soul will sink deeper until the other person comes and penetrates the iron gate and starts to pull the thing out of the soul even though it’s already so deep inside but they’ll keep trying and won’t give up until it’s almost out but by that time they will be tired and will let go because they think that the person will be alright.

But as soon as they leave, the person will break down again because they loved the person so much, and the whole thing, as if be-ing played in reverse, starts again and the thing that was almost out, will catapult itself straight back into the soul of the lonely person and will rebuild the iron walls only stronger and taller this time so that even that one person that left can’t help them anymore because the tortured one has lost trust in that person. They will try to help again but it won’t work and the other per-son’s life will sink deeper into the thing in their soul.

One day, they pick up their blade which they took out of their pencil sharpener and cut their arm, like they’ve been doing this entire time, for the last time before they remove their bloodstained clothes and dress as if they’re going to Prom even though they are only going to the

nearest train station in the bitter cold.

As they near their destina-tion, their footsteps slow

and they begin to reflect on all the

hard times they’ve had.

When their feet finally touch the platform, they hardly realize it

until they lift their head and see that the next train comes in five minutes.

“Good,” they think, “ I can end it sooner.”

As they sit on a bench beside the tracks, the person who left them sees their old friend on the platform and instantly knows that they weren’t go-ing anywhere on this winter night and that person runs as fast as they possibly can, shouting the person’s name but when they finally reach the platform, they can see the train in the distance, thundering towards them,

and they know they are too late to save them.As the per-son stood up, they caught eye contact with the person who left and both of them could see the pain in their eyes and as the suicidal one averted their eyes and turned away towards the train tracks, the old friend called out the name of the per-son they couldn’t save through tears and chokes, and as they did so, the train came rush-ing into the station and, never looking back once, the person leaped in front of it.

Everybody on the platform screamed and even with the noise, they could hear the screeching of breaks as the driver tried to stop in time and the crunching as multiple bones were pulverized as the train ran over the electrified body.

The old friend did not cry anymore. They only stared as commotion broke out amongst the crowd and they eventu-ally turned and simply walked away from the scene and lay down on their bed just think-ing about how many good times they had and how many more they could have had if the person hadn’t left and helped them on the journey to suicide.

They didn’t cry until the fu-neral when they completely lost control of themselves when they lowered the body into the local graveyard.

They could imagine so vividly the thing - the depression - with-in the iron gates tear through the broken soul of the dead body. They could imagine it drifting away from the old, dead friend and starting to bury itself in their own soul and they started to feel the pain that their friend had felt before them.

It all started with a person - one person - that said or did some-thing that was really deep, really hurtful. Don’t be that person but stand up to the people who are like that. But most of all, if someone has an issue, don’t leave when you think they’re going to be alright, leave when you’ve grown old together and the only reason to leave them is death. Natural death though, not suicide.

Or maybe, don’t leave at all.
