Alright reading the chapter Apathy was exciting for me because I love finishing books...lol
Seriously, I felt this chapter was good I thought about the way us young Americans talk about politics and how we are also involved with politics. I don't think it was exactly how it was in the past but politics has changes over the years. Then it was more entertaining and now it's more serious and educational. I think that personally the youth is not involved with the politics as much as we could. For example a lot of people would not have voted if it wasn't for all the hype with Obama and Hillary. I am now twenty years old and it was my first time voting. Most of the youth today are not politically savvy. We pretty much get on the internet and try to jam everything in about politics and we really end up learning nothing. Well I take that back maybe we are just in a different way. I also think it was neat when people in the past fought for their voices to be heard. I just hope are way of learning, expressing, and taking control is effective for this country. I just think its harder for people to go out and do their own research about different political debates, candidates, bills, ect. I just hope that the youth are able to bring are country back and just be aware of whats going on...because when you don't educate yourself thats when your voice is not heard and your left behind.
