Interviewing people for the 2012 election allowed me to see that many individuals are unaware of the current political events. For example, almost half of of the people I interviewed between the ages of 17 and 20 did not know that the unemployed received benefits at all. A few of my friends that were interviewed were unaware of the religions of the candidates, which made it difficult to answer one of the questions without my assistance. Although numerous responses that were given were very uneducated, many provided an interesting point of view. 8 out of the 9 high school students interviewed believed that gay marriage is perfectly fine and should not be a major issue. This is a more accepting perspective than those of past generations. Also 9 out of 10 people thought that the military budget should not be reduced and 8 of 10 believed that the economy is the biggest issue in America right now. For the most part, individuals between the ages of 17 and 20 agreed on the same questions. This provides a rough sketch of how future individuals will observe the different issues in our country.
