Article comparison

These two articles would do well to listen to one another. The first states that the lack of interest in civil issues is made apparent by social networking sites. The second reiterates this lack of interest but seems to blame it on the formal education procedure. Both agree that my generation shows a degree of apathy- that we are not interested in formal groups based on interest as other generations were. However the second article seems to promote informal avenues as a way of motivating youngsters, the first shows by proof of social networking sites that this is not the case. I agree with the first article in stating that my generation is not motivated. And I don't think that a more informal venue for political expression or learning will rectify the matter.
