(6) MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146955732 - Recent generations lack passion for politics and government because nothing significant has affected them directly.
- Because of these major events, older generations have gotten in the habit of following news]]> 2017-01-13 02:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146955732 MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146955909 2017-01-13 02:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146955909 Sources MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146955921 https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/plAOztyG2A7I2fLfz9m7rfFwFe8WVSY46OxMkKWFijkv1t7r10f_FhF4Njy6MJWNGjPtzQ_tObVLyJzV4xcKxlTDxKQAeZ_vYCE7JWVdC_AEaFnX8Q

(6) MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146956043 - Because TV's have so many more channels and options for shows to watch, it's easier to click away and avoid the news.
- News sources have become less reliable and more biased.
- Recent generations have started to rely on social media for their news, which is not always accurate.]]> 2017-01-13 02:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146956043 MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146956496 2017-01-13 02:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146956496 "Lack of interest leads to lack of information." (4) MAffourtit https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146958547 - Generations that don't pay active attention to news and government, are far less educated about what's going on in the world.
- Youth being involved in politics and other recent events increase their knowledge about laws, policies and the world around them (considering politics and government affect every aspect of life).]]> 2017-01-13 02:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/MAffourtit/25ylq3k0g5tk/wish/146958547
