Davey Neubauer: Apathy

the modernist viewpoint is that young people are apathetic tworads "real" political concerns and that protests and rallies "only fail to change the world... seem to be not only misguided but actively dangerous" (184). Modernists in my opinion seem to think that that change is always a bad thing for if these new "internet" outlets are being used instead of the traditional ways of media than this is proof that this alternative way to participate in politics is not valid. How can this be? Just because the youth of today are engaging in political debates in different ways "zines" or other forms of online blogging doesn't mean that their points are any less valid. Who is someone to say my point matters and your point doesn't count because I am constructing my ideas in the traditional sense.
