Voting

My interviews were very interesting when seeing the conclusion to who I interviewed. I tried to interview 5 younger people and 5 older people. The huge trend that everyone already knows about is the YOUNG PEOPLE don’t VOTE!!! When doing my interviews it seemed like the younger people always had an excuse why they don’t vote. Its not that they don’t want to they just either haven't registered( which that’s not an excuse, you should register as soon as your 18 even if there is nothing to vote on in awhile) or they had any excuse that came to there mind why they don’t vote. This kind of frustrated me because I didn’t have the answers they wanted to hear or anything, it’s like they had their own mind set. No was for the older people I interviewed it was like science. All of the older people have been registered for awhile and they already had somewhat of an idea who they were voting for at this year election. The reason for this is basically how each generation was raised. Most kids are raised either what there parents are or they don’t vote because there lazy. The older generation it was a privilege to them not just a right, and I think that’s why older people care more than us as the younger generation do. It was stressed the in the book the "F Word" that older generations do get frustrated because the younger generation don’t care or don’t even take it as more than just a right. The older generation takes it as a privilege because some didn’t have it yet until later years in their lives. This year’s election I believe will be the biggest turn out for us as the young generation to vote. I am excited to see how the election turns out and I hope my generation will vote and voice their own opinion and use the rights we have to produce something positive
