Various attempts were made to "embrace" them, including through various advertising campaigns. However, from a variety of advertising, the interests of voters are not mentioned clearly. Ads emphasize only the image, such as "presidential candidate that cool", "successful", "bearer of change", and so on. The interests of voters are represented in the use of the word "change."

Therefore, every youth leader, must be oriented to the changes, carrier success. They are considered not to have basic needs that must be fought.
