Reflection:

This quote explains how senior citizens over the age of 65 have more awareness and knowledge than politics than the younger generation. According to Michael Delli Carpini and Scott Keeter, having political knowledge can causes longterm  beneficial effects. ]]> 2018-01-12 07:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreene_18/vf1o0ma5alue/wish/220873485 tgreene_18 https://padlet.com/tgreene_18/vf1o0ma5alue/wish/220874850 “As channels proliferated over subsequent decades, it became much easier to avoid exposure to politics by switching the channel—and over course the internet has exponentially broadened the choices” (6).

Reflection:

Due to technology becoming more advanced in the years, it is easier than ever for children and young adults to switch to something that is far more entertaining or visually pleasing than politics. As the internet become more popular to be on, there are many more websites, applications, and choices to choose which is commonly used by the younger generations than senior citizens.]]> 2018-01-12 08:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreene_18/vf1o0ma5alue/wish/220874850 tgreene_18 https://padlet.com/tgreene_18/vf1o0ma5alue/wish/220875835 “And young people have grown up in a fragmented media environment, in which hundreds of TV channels and millions of Internet sites have provided them with a rich and varied socialization experience but have also enabled them to easily avoid political events” (7).
