Teenagers and Politics

[Taylor Norwood]

A recent MTV survey has shown that today’s American youth are failing to exhibit the same interest in voting as their forebears. While the teenagers claim this is a consequence of political impracticality, many alternatives have been suggested to remedy the situation by such sources as Harvard University, not to mention the youths themselves. I feel that the younger generation in America isn’t voting because they don’t seem to feel obligated to participate in politics. I don’t think teenagers believe in the power of a ballot and many just feel that politics are impractical. Many teens maybe plan on voting, but truly don’t think their voice will change anything and may even give up on voting all together. And others simply don’t understand politics.

I can agree with you, there are just many teens out there that are not educated on politics. I believe that they don't value their voice. Many teens today, are just intrested in fitting in with the crowd, and figuring out new ways to get what they want.

I think it was a good summary. You highlighted everything well and kept it short.

I think you had a great summary. You kept it short and to the point. It was everything a summary should be not to much detail but not to little. I also liked how you highlighted main points.
