Abstract

Youth are the real power of any society, and this power must be conscious and mature in order to be a line of defense for society itself to avoid potential risks, whether these risks are natural imposed by international changes or planned risks woven by some forces hostile to society that serve ideological agendas and personal interests, as these hostile forces can falsify the collective awareness of a group of youth and even use their strength as fuel that ignites societies on their own.
Therefore, it is necessary to modify the awareness of this group of youth through dialogue and calm and clear discussion of some national security issues to show the reality of some risks that may threaten the societal structure itself, which youth may not realize the degree of their danger, and then work to expand the scope of the circle of bearing social responsibility for this group of university youth with the aim of contributing with conviction and certainty to strengthening the internal front of society, through understanding and realizing the nature of the risks that threaten the borders of Egyptian national security, and then contributing to adopting more rational visions to build more cohesive structures for this society.
Based on this research problem, this ambitious research was conducted, which adopts developing university youth's awareness of Egyptian national security issues as a methodological treatment of its research problem, as events confirmed the existence of a clear gap and discrepancy between the theory of international value charters and their practice on the ground, especially with regard to developing countries. The research also aimed to develop a proposed vision for developing students' awareness of some urgent Egyptian national security issues such as (the historical connection and strategic depth of the Palestinian issue, the importance of preserving Egypt's land and borders in all its directions, especially the Sinai Peninsula) through application to a sample of social service students at the Faculty of Education, Al-Azhar University in Cairo. The study reached a discrepancy regarding the clarity of the role of social service in developing university youth's awareness of Egyptian national security issues. Then, the study reached a proposed vision that may have an impact by directing the attention of social researchers to focus on Egyptian national security issues.
