News in current time is filled with homicides, suicides, bank robberies, and politics. After so much repeated information, the news gets boring after a while. No one watches it anymore. It’s not like it helps us contribute to our future. The future towards peace is how it has always been, worthless. Not knowing what is going on out there or who is running to district attorney may affect our future as well as eating the right foods or remembering to Tivo the last episode of Jersey Shore. By the way, who watches politics? No one does. Has anyone ever watched it before anyways, besides the winner of presidential elections? I would want to know who runs the country. Don’t all political leaders run the country though? Who knows and who cares. Exactly, no one does. This trend of the lack of political knowledge is slowly leading us into a world of disasters and non-peaceful events. I bet if someone running for office says that they will improve cable, it will certainly grab viewers’ attention. Maybe that’s what officials need to do. They should say, “Our countries economy is falling, and we certainly need to get better cable systems for our Sunday football games.” Oh, the votes they will receive. Is there any political candidate smart enough to reach the audience in that certain form? I doubt it. There are so little things to talk about and so much time. Candidates need to reach out to the people about voting before they talk about our country.
Adults promote voting so much that they don’t have enough time to stop by the local corner store, buy coffee, and build up a friendly conversation with the cashier anymore. Whatever happened to U.S. citizens in America? Oh yea, they got taken over by immigrants from Mexico. Maybe that will kick up a start into actual voting. Voting is the base of all countries out there. We should be proud to have the right to vote. Where exactly do I go to vote though? Even I, who registered not too long ago, don’t know what exactly to do or go to. This country is certainly heading towards something bad.
We have too much stress on us to care about politics. Trying to work two jobs, pay bills, feed our families, and get sleep is already a handful. What can I say, politics isn’t fun. It’s a bunch of old people going on about who knows what. I rather sleep then watch ten minutes of it. To actually understand what they say, is another thing. Using big words doesn’t appeal to a teenager like me. Yea, ok, I understand that it is important to know who is trying to do what. Print me out a paper and put some jargon into it. Maybe I’ll take time to read it and actually try to understand. Also, we’re too lazy to follow our countries crisis. As a matter of fact, we’re so lazy that we’re obese. Wasn’t that and issue not too long ago? I don’t know. I didn’t follow the news. The country isn’t going to change. If in this recession people don’t care, what makes you think they will care in the future? I think we expect to see actual improvements by leaders before we realize that we can actually make changes. I, personally, don’t see how my vote can make a change.
As far as having peaceful world, it’s not going to happen. Not being politically aware ruins our chances towards a better country. If we knew exactly what each political leader is trying to do and the changes he or she brings, we might have a chance. What am I kidding; this will be a better world if we all were caught up with the politicians. We would all know who to vote for and improve our economy. Improving the economy will most likely reduce crime, at least robberies, causing some peace. A lot of crime such as theft, assault, and attempted murder can be caused by poor economy. The economy has a big impact on our lives. It can cause peace, but it can also cause chaos.
