This is a testament to his well-spring of experience in the field of politics and local government affairs, as well as his stand on issues and concerns of the Filipino youth of the new millennium.

  • Negative Side Of Democracy

    1508 Words  | 4 Pages

    Politicians throughout history inspired many to take an active role in their government by voting and even running for a political office. John F. Kennedy notably encouraged Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” (Lawless and Fox 138) in his inaugural address. These words inspired many to engage in the political system. Unfortunately, this inspiration is not nearly as common nowadays. Most young people currently only see the negative side of politics. Since the turn of the century, there has been significant economic downturn. Many young Americans have not lived to see the American government truly flourish and therefore are put off by being a part of a system that is in such a dysfunctional state. But as Clawson and Oxley argued, the public’s dissatisfaction is not embedded in the institutions, but in the members of the institutions (2016). Americans are fairly confident in the basic structure of American government, but are disappointed in the way it is functioning with current members. Lawless and Fox argued that none of the current members of Congress “grew up amid the gridlock and hyperpartisanship that characterize today’s politics” (23). Most modern politicians saw the government function well, unlike a large majority of today’s youth. Today’s youth is simply accustomed to a dysfunctional system, turning them off from wanting to be a part of it. Perhaps if the United States government became less polarized, and young Americans saw the system function well, they would want to run for

  • Civic Engagement through Community Problem Solving

    6911 Words  | 14 Pages

    As young people’s civic and political participation continues to decline, a number of organizations are working to reverse the decline by increasing opportunities for youth to participate. Communities around the country are taking steps to engage young people through a variety of methods that allow youth to actually participate in policy development and take action on local issues. The effectiveness of such community programs on long-term civic engagement is not well documented, however. This paper presents preliminary research about the effectiveness of one community participation program, the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Youth Advisory Council. Quantitative and anecdotal evidence, while not conclusive, suggest this community problem solving approach may encourage its participants to engage in other civic and political activities. The paper also discusses the benefits that organizations and communities receive when young people participate in this way, and provides recommendations for developing a similar youth participation program.
