College students are more aware of their political power today than before, when theyput theirminds to it. Many are actually getting involved by using "voice and vote" to choose governmentofficials and make decisions about public policy. What they thinkcould really matter and couldhelp shape the future of politics.
The importance of young adults' political tendency is increasingly being felt, when it comes toelection campaigns. College students are becoming an influential constituency and it is hard tofind elections where young people's opinions are ignored. It is because their votes and voicesrepresent their age group and must be valued as such. Since their voices are heard and theirvotes count, they as students begin to feel more confident that their opinions could have animpact on some key political issues. In short, college students are gradually becoming moreenthusiastic toward the art or science of runninggovernmental affairs. So, if you think thatstudents are more interested in politics today than before, you can say that again.
The future of politics is in the making in the minds of young adults, especially students. Duringtheir free time, college students are taking part in making decisions about the studentgovernment on the campus, for instance. Partly in this way, they learn independent thinkingand debating--listening as much as speaking. In general, there is a growing awareness thatpolitics is in the best interests of people and that apathy to politics may not be the rightattitude. Thanks to the influence of information through the media, particularly television andthe Internet, they realize that modern politics means more than a bunch of old guys arguingwith each other. In fact, some of today's college students with strong political inclinations arelikely to become such "old guys" in the time to come.
It is clear that the opinions of young people (18-25 years old) are too important to bedismissed from politics because their opinions could foreshadow how thegovernmental affairswould be run in the future. The political power of students ought not to be under-estimated,now that they can have a say and can vote. They will be the mainstream of politics.
