         <description><![CDATA[<div>“In 2008, when the National Elections Study asked a nationwide sample about their general level of interest politics, over half of Americans under the age of 30 said they rarely followed politics, compared to less than a quarter of those over the age of 65…. In the early 1970’s, when 18 to 20 year olds became eligible to vote, there was no generation gap in political interest. Back then, young people actually reported following politics a bit more regularly than did senior citizens”(4).</div><div>-This quotation represents the fact that the political participation of the youth has substantially decreased since they were allowed to vote. Unlike the past, the youth of today have a lack of interest in politics especially in comparison to those who are older.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Those who participate in the political process are more likely to benefit from government programs and policies. Young people often complain that the elderly have far more political clout than they do - turnout statistics make clear why that is the case”(5).</div><div>-The main reason why youth feel like their voices are not heard is because they aren’t voting on the policies and actively involve themselves in the political process. This is why they don’t vote or why they don’t involve themselves. However, it is for this reason they feel like their voices aren’t heard; by not voting, the outcome isn’t likely to reflect what they believe would have best benefitted them.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Today’s youth have not had any policy impact them the way that, say, the introduction of Medicare or the draft and the Vietnam War affected previous generations. However the cause of young people’s political apathy probably runs deeper. A broader reason is that 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…. It became much easier to avoid exposure to politics by switching the channel”(6).</div><div>-One would assume the youth, because of their easy access to technology, would be more involved in politics because of how quickly they can access news and information about the current political situations. However it is because of technology’s ability to block out the things people do not want to see and it’s many distractions that the youth aren’t as informed. If hearing about politics is bothering them, they can just turn on a different television program or go on a different app or website. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
