"...today's young adults have grown up in an environment in which news about political events has been increasingly more avoidable and less shared than in the past...As channels proliferated over subsequent decades, it became much easier to avoid exposure to politics by switching the channel" (6).
-The wide range of media available to today's youth has allowed them to avoid anything they may view as inconvenient or unpleasant. In this case, the recipient of this evasion is the United States government. Young adults are now, more than ever, able to get away with disinterest in politics just by choosing to redirect their attention elsewhere. This, again, produces a lack of knowledge, and, soon after, disinterest. Today's youth have so many different options of politically desaturated media to choose from that it should come as no shock when polls demonstrate their lack of knowledge on various aspects of politics within the United States.

"Of course, today's youth have not had any policy impact them in the way that, say, the introduction of Medicare or the draft and the Vietnam War affected previous generations" (6).
-While young people of past decades have been forced to come face-to-face with the outcomes of various political policies and decisions, today's youths have never encountered the same 'hit home' experiences, an extreme privilege for many of the generation. Apathy continues to stream from a lack of knowledge of how politics affects their daily lives, allowing young people to remain blissfully unaware of the effects their lack of knowledge and turn out continues to have on both others and themselves.

"Lack of interest leads to lack of information...young people were clearly less knowledgeable than the elderly" ( 4).
-The feelings of ennui many youths in today's society hold towards politics produce a vicious cycle of ignorance. Inadequate knowledge of issues and policies prevents young people from seeing their importance or the both immediate and longterm effects that these things will have on themselves. In short, ignorance and disinterest go hand in hand.
-I believe that if more young people were to get involved in various aspects of politics, they would soon realize the substantial effects the issues actually have on them themselves. This is why it is important for young people, like us, to increase our involvement and knowledge of the political happenings of the United States.
