The youth of Egypt wanted not just a better future, but a better present. They had a dream. They were looking for real change that would help them, as well as the rest of society, to attain their goal of a good life. Thus, the young people's participation in the Arab Spring was viewed as a necessity and not as a surprise by their nation. There was a difference between the types of young people who participated in the 25 January 2011 revolution and those who participated on 30 June 2013.
