The commitment seen in activism indicates it truly being motivated by hope intrinsically.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>emily strickhausen <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;Especially in recent years, the presence of activists has become more prominent through television and social media. The hope of being able to change something positively plays a major role here. For example, the friday for future protests have been launched especially by young people and are experiencing a great resonance all over the world. More and more people can identify with the belief that it is possible to shape the future better so that later generations will find a planet worth living on. Through this belief, there is the possibility of really being able to change something and thus to influence the policies of states. Without the belief to be able to make a difference nothing would ever change and who would want to live in such a world?&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>florian mann <br><br> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;Hope in activism is the belief that what mankind does about a certain cause might matter, regardless of the fact that the future is unpredictable, and that history may not turn as one wished or hoped for. It is the awareness that everyone, young or adult, can play an important role to get things done, to change those things that does not reflect someone\u2019s political or social beliefs, way of think or live. It is gathering people around the world to march on the streets for the same cause. It is, sometimes, the use of strong actions in support or in opposition to one side of a controversial issue to achieve a common goal.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>stefanie monaco<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;That hope might be to build a better world or to make friends. Hope is an intrinsic motivation. Studies suggest that intrinsic motivations make people take actions in more cases than extrinsic motivations.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>Bj\u00f6rn Beckendorf<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;It is necessary to take an effort to act. In addition, acting might contain risk.

One of the currentlyworld wide known activists of our time is Greta Thunberg. She started the Friday for future movement and she strikes for many years for a better climate policy and even when she gets frustrated that politics are still doing so little. The hope to change something is still pushing her to be an activist.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>natalia hoffmann<br> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;Hope in general is a powerful tool for survival and one that is not just an opposite to fear, nor is it something working against fear. Hope is a motivator that pulls people continuously further towards a goal and as for activism this is crucial to continue in a long-term sense, like in Jane Goodall\u2019s case.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>lucas quehl<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;Hope can be distinguished from the concepts of optimism and pessimism because one may understand it as a feeling that although humans do not know what will happen in the future, because the future is unpredictable, they are able to write it themselves by taking action. [\u2026] Therefore, activists can benefit from hoping that their actions make a difference, because otherwise, it would be easy to lapse into apathy and passivity and their intrinsic motivation might get lost. This supports the assumption, that activism can not exist without hope.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>hannah kettrup<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;The arriving for opportunities to take actions into your own hands to improve the present or future is needed to be seen. A possibility to rise the chance of seeing opportunities and acting on them is hope. [\u2026] Futhermore, being hopefull will rather put the focus on positive thinking instead of negative thoughts, which supports to set the mind in the right direction for taking actions.&#8220;<\/p>\n<cite>sarah schiemann<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now it&#8217;s your turn!<\/strong><br>Do you think hope is the motivation to be active?
