It is the future. I say this because political figures are using technological tools to reel in voters. These voters are young and for most of them, it is their first or second time going out to vote. For example, Barack Obama has an official campiagn music video called "Yes We Can" that features Scarlett Johansson, Will I Am, and other celebrity powerhouses.
It says so much about our culture today and how we choose to obtain information. Instead of reading traditional newspapers and getting their news, Americans are opting out and getting news from television and the internet. Some have even claimed to get news from Saturday Night Live skits to make decisions on who they would like to vote for. I feel that it is a social justice issue...Americans should give themselves the benefit of the doubt and follow elections by adhearing to their beliefs and their own judgement. Let's not let Kanye West and the faulty American media decide for us!
