McKee seems to support the legitimacy of today's youth's political approach. McKee says that the youth tend to unconventionally political and they respond more to cultural actions like political protests than to direct political action. Lack of direct political actions would go against modernist theory.
I agree with McKee's assertion that today's youth are political in a different way. I think that it's more important to be pro-active in changing the philosophies of citizens than to be pro-active with direct political actions. In order for change to come, I think there's has to be a transformation in thinking. If the people support a principle, it will become a legislated policy.
However, I think there is a minor snag in the cultural political pattern of thinking. I think a result of modern patterns of politics fosters a general consensus of uninformed citizens. It's definitely more important to change your way of thinking, but if we wait for political information to make it to us via bumper stickers and monumental political events, then we'll only be knowledgeable on the biggest of events, which are only a small percentage of a political occurrences.
