Descriptions:
As a politically engaged teenager, Sophie Egar explores the disheartening rise of “hashtag activism” within modern American society. She examines how social media platforms have transformed genuine political engagement into “slacktivism”—a low-effort form of support that prioritizes online appearance over tangible real-world results. Sophie challenges her audience to move beyond performative digital gestures and reconsider what it truly means to advocate for systemic change. By analyzing the psychological impact of likes and shares, she highlights the urgent need for authentic, grassroots action that transcends the limitations of a screen to create lasting community impact.
