"How do we as the rising generation deal with problems threatening our future? This is not a new question.

Our great grandmothers' generation dealt with the Great War which killed 22 million people and the deadly Spanish Flu which killed 50 million people worldwide. 

Our Grandmothers generation dealt with the Second World War which killed 75 million people.

Our mothers' generation dealt with the '80s which killed all sense of fashion! "
