Student fragility and the Government sovereignty.

[Silvio Omutsiambo]

True. When students speak out the negatives of their governments, they always have to pay a price. In the process, schools break for unknown durations thus wasting time even for those who were not involved in the demonstrations.

[Mary Lou Mills]

Students are not fully mature and as such, they should be protected instead of being sent off to war. The activists are personally threatened as they could be the ones sent to Vietnam and many of their friends were. The ones who actually knew what was going on had a right to disagree with it. Some of them were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[José Cortez]

I agree with you. It is saddening how true your statement is. Students are always left to suffer whenever the government takes irresponsible actions especially in some developing countries.

I think the reason students are so vulnerable to the government's actions is because of their level of dependency on the government and because they are the age group that is most zealous in society. For instance, if there is a problem with the national budget or service delivery during times of unrest, students who attend public secondary and tertiary schools will feel the burden more than other groups of society that are most likely working in the private sector. Also, in many countries around the world, it is the youth that takes most of the burden of many of the country's problems (such as unemployment, inflation, gender-based violence, drug abuse, gang violence, racial attacks, conscription during times of war, etc.); therefore, the youth is most likely to protest and oppose the government because they constantly feel the effects of poor leadership.

This is very true. Currently in my country students are facing the ills of the government. Since February 2022 till date, students have been refused from going to school. It is a very pathetic sight that students are always at the receiving end.

[Juliet Keith]

We live in a world where money and power prevails. It is not about right or wrong and clearly the students do not understand this. The school system teaches that it is the right that wins but in the real world it's all about influence and power and that's why students clash with the government and end up paying for it because the government is bigger than them.

I have to concede that students are the ones that are majorly affected by the government's decisions. This book has portrayed how the government can frustrate students.

[Carly Sprout]

You are absolutely right. Every action the government takes directly or indirectly affects the students. Though it is not always this violent whereby students are killed but the level of effects it has certainly needs a check to it. Ths book is just an example of what happens in the society today.

I would reckon that an action is still violent even if blood is not shed. For example: passing laws that directly/indirectly inhibit economic growth of a certain population of people is violence.

[Shanesha Sammerson]

I think foreign students or those from minority groups are more likely to be targeted in cases of war. They are easy targets to send a message to those they are at war with.

While reading Wild World and its first review, It occured to me that students are mosttimes on the receiving end of whatever thing that the government does. If a war, strike, or shutdown is declared by the government (irrespective of the country), the students' life trajectory will be greatly affected to the point of death. In respect to the killing of students within this book, what do you think?

I think so too Jack. Students are often the first to get the hit of negativity in the society.
I just could relate when there was a riot in my location about 20 students were severely injured.

I agree that students lives are greatly affected by decisions of war, but also this affects the whole nation in general.

[Optimnob]

Indeed, every one of government policies does affect the students. Although not all end in students death, but most does break students to the point of death. Direct or not, these sad truth is on the government.

[Nnekazoe]

Students are always affected by government decisions. In my country Nigeria, most schools are headed by the government and any drastic and negative decision can bring about a delay in a student's future career.

[Joyful17]

Sadly when two elephants fight the grass will suffer. Students welfare depend heavily on a peaceful and sensitive government which is disappearing in some parts of the world.
