When it comes to this chapter, I am kind of split in my feelings. While I do believe that we are probably better informed about politics today than they were in the past, I also think that alot of the people, young and old alike, who vote do not know very much about what they are voting for. In that aspect, I guess I agree with the "modern" idea, which is rare. :)
I also do agree with the fact that we (the youth culture) do in fact have a different understanding of politics and that we are more likely to stage a protest than to try to actually become a politician themselves. However, I do not think this makes us less involved in the political public sphere. Actually, I think the youth are very much involved in the political public sphere, but like McKee said, it is jus not in the traditional way. However, I still beleive that the non-traditional, or "postmodern" approach is just as effective as the "modern."
