2016. This interview is a very good choice for me because he interviews
someone who has been studying how this new generation views political
affairs. He explains that now, there is much more of a fan in the people
that vote because people now become more independent when they turn 18.
Their lives become centralized around themselves. They do not view policies
that important because they just simply do not see how it directly effects
them. This comes from them seeing consistency up to now, and they do not
think it is likely that anything will ever change, which is wrong, this
generation just hasn't had to see a transition of power. This new
generation has a cloud of ignorance over them, which covers their desire to
learn about these political affairs and the candidates. In my project, I
think it would be a good idea to try and uncover the ignorant things people
have perceived in this new generation.
