Is that young people nowadays have no influence on the key decisions that determine the future ? Is that young people nowadays have no influence on the key decisions that determine the future of society as a whole? Maybe this opinion is raised frequently in recent media reports, including television shows, magazines and even online talk shows. I think it is totally not true. Some people might think that nowadays young people are fully spoiled, because life is much more comfortable and safer today compared with half a century ago. Meanwhile, young people have to work harder and competed with their peers for higer house price and lower employment rate. So that they are not willing to devote themselves to change the future of our society, even more, they don’t have any time and right to do so. But in my opinoion, those who hold this view is not valid. Let me elaborate my reasons. Firstly, young people have their own way to consider social problems, Although others cannot fully adapt to it. To be specific, young generation grew up with the highly development of the information technology, so that they are more accustomed to put forward their views online. For instance, the Metoo movements, which is widespread all over the world, is supported by young people around the word, and it makes hundreds of so-called celebrities and well-known professers get punishments for sexual harassments. Secondly, I think although some of the young people don't have much right in their society, but they did show their concerns about the society by instinct. Another example is a young girl in China, who is just a primary student of Beijing. Recently, she found that she could pick up her neighborhood’s express package through showing the face recognition machine a printed photo. Then she reported this dangerous flaw to the local media. Two month later, a new standard of face recognition technology was set due to her finding. I think those young people like her do have an influence on the decision that determine the future of society. To sum up, it is quite reasonable to consider that if the society will be supported by a group of reliable and wise young people, which also shows concerns about the future of our society. If we look at those young people in a positive view, we will get a same answer.

Secondly, I think although some of the young people don't have much many rights in their society, but they do show their concerns about the society by instinct. Another example is a young girl in China, who is just a primary student of Beijing, recently she found that she could pick up her neighbour’s express package through showing the face recognition machine a printed photo.

Not too bad, Zhou. Just be careful with the article "the". If we are talking about something in general, we don't need an article.
Keep practicing! Simon.
