London Riot and The Destructors

An riot happened in London, England about a week ago as every one knows. A few young people started this riot first, but it spreaded out all the city then and lasted few days. Police arrested more than 200 people, who were mostly young people, after three days rioting in London. At the same time, in the short story, "The Destructors", a young kinds gang planned destroying a house of Mr. Thomas, and they did it. From these two stories, I can tell that how young people are powerful and active. They seem to be weak and not having power in society; however, when they decide to do something, especially against society or powerful groups, they are able to defeat the groups in their ways. An riot is a good example because the young people don't have a power if they are their own, but when they gather each other and take an action, they would be stronger than older people. Therefore, what we can learn from the stories is that people should listen to young people and include them in society.
