So I'm currently sitting in my High School Journalism class, and we began the class by watching CNN Student News. Naturally, there was coverage of the crisis in Syria. This, of course, drew little discussion other than scattered kids saying "who cares, it's not America, so who cares?" to which I scoffed. Then, when we began to discuss the presidential elections, a girl said "I am so sick of hearing about politics, who cares? I do not care who the President of the country is." But then, when we began to discuss Chris Brown and Rihanna collaborating, an uproar arose, with plenty of screaming and yelling and fighting over whether or not this was justified.
I am seriously concerned for the future of this country. This is a normal thing.
Your thoughts?
Well, sounds almost like the (majority of the) youth in my country.
As far as the question of generations is concerned, maybe young people have been significantly more political between 1965 and 1975. But earlier/later generations probably didn't give a sh!t either.
