Abstract

University students have played a significant role in the ongoing struggle against social inequality (Ohrenschall, 2012). The energy, failure to accept disillusionment, and idealistic values held by many students has supported national social justice movements immensely. As a result, many young men and women can recount demonstrations occurring on their campuses, in nearby restaurants and establishments, and on neighboring streets led exclusively by passionate and ambitious university students.
