Humanity have been divided in the two extreme ideologies of individual objectivism and social collectivism.
These two ideologies are all essential in very unique ways. One can not alienate an individual in a society nor can one cause biasness towards a certain social groupings.
South Sudan as the youngest country has the highest number of young people who constitutes the big percentage of the country's population. Given that, the youths finds themselves struggling in the context of what I call the social working class.
Many graduates are stranding too much in the youngest country. Since they finished their studies but finds nothing to focus on, be this work or any other engagement.
However, the question is, how do we combat this problems that way face both at the individual levels and the social collective levels?
This question remains to be answered by young people themselves. But the solutions may not come from individuals, it will be a class struggle against another classes of society.
If the old population is blind to see this social aspects of youths suffering after they acquired skills which enables them to be competitive in their own country, how will the conscious class tackles the same problems, if they don't have the same opportunities?
The success of a country both depends on the success of individuals and the collective successes and happiness of the multitude in the whole country. South Sudan is yet to experience this simple insight.

This article focuses on the questions concerning the individual and collective social dilemmas the youths are experiencing in South Sudan as the world's youngest nation
