I see it happening now more then ever– it appears as though both parties want to train the youth of America to pick sides and to attack (with added fervor) opposing viewpoints. However, we are not the generation that rejects members for opposing viewpoints.. Or.. Are we??

Myspace, Facebook, and Blogs are what we’ve grown to use as our tool of expression. It’s to over emphasize our diversity and to show there’s more to us then 1 sided issues. We’ve been raised to view the world with 1 objective– “To make it better..”

Now I understand both views.. I even understand the need to question the motives of each side– but the youth of America and abroad need be wary of outright spewing hurtful and negative things that’s been spun by smart political (albeit “old white haired dudes”) spinmasters. We’re smarter then that I thought– Especially us who have gone to school and learned the value of considering both sides.

Our objective in this election is to consider all sides of a complex coin and to follow what we think and not what we’re told to think. That’s the essence of critical thinking and we’ll be better equipt and more confident if we first question all that’s presented first, then pass judgement last.

In other words:

Repeating Party/Spinmaster talking points =’s fail, Critically thinking and questioning those points =’s win!

;P
