This is a website created to explore and illustrate the struggles and issues the National Youth Rights Association are working for, the NYRA is a youth led non profit organisation dedicated to fighting for civil rights and liberties of young people. Their purpose is to create a world where people are not judged by their birth date, but by the content of their character, in doing they are fighting to lower the voting and drinking age, protect student rights and also appeal against any curfew laws. At the bottom of the homepage, the NYRA state their goal or mission:
"NYRA's mission centers on challenging age discrimination against young people, both in law and in attitudes and supporting the basic freedoms afforded to young Americans in the Bill of Rights"
The NYRA believes it is important for the youth to be recognized as a human being or individual rather than being portrayed as part of a struggling group, of which many minority groups do fight for. The NYRA are not trying to cause segregation or give any discrimination power over others, they are simply trying to educate people about youth rights and giving the youth the confidence to go out and work on the behalf of these rights. The website pages are clearly set up to inspire not only the youth but also the people discriminating, they have motivational messages that sum up to try and make the world a more acceptable society.
I noticed that the website came across as quite a demanding yet successful site, it has links to many stories of which in most cases influenced to help the NYRA's cause, there are stories of how the government are taking notice and are making due to the education of these rights. Anyone can join up to the site and express their views, which shows that the organisation believe that they can benefit from the public's opinions. The most demanding and almost forceful part of the site was where they were asking for donations, it not only had a link on the homepage but also throughout the pages, these donations came across as being the heart of the organisation and without it they wouldn't survive.
