Okay, well i know very few people that are totally compliant to adults. I know a bunch of people that will try and get things changed, but that's the thing, the only thing we can do is try. In school the majority of teachers and principles don't care what we think or what we want. In politics, anyone under 18 has no say in what will happen even though politicians always say that kids are the future. And we are, so I personally think that we should have a say because we're the ones that are gonna have to clean up the mess that they've made. But once again, I've never known any adult that has some kind of authority to really care or take into account what minors want or think or even what's best for us. But there are still PLENTY of people that are rebellious and try to lead their own lives and change rules. It's just the fact that authority doesn't care enough that it seems as if we're totally submissive to it.
Really? when applying it to my school I can't really think of many kids who did in fact question the way things where done. Though true they would occasionally argue, but it would be with more so each other than the actual school system and teachers. Maybe it is just a regional difference and could simply vary from place to place?
But however that is a good point. It is true to the most point if you are prior to the age of 18 anything you say or do politically won't really be taken seriously, and is simply pushed aside.
And also as a side note I kinda took the article a different way then you did
sweatdrop . Seeing as they used a poll that was taken by 18 -34 year-olds to support their argument. I thought they were classifying 18-34 year-olds as the "young people". I thought that they where saying because the way people are being raised as kids when we mature into adults we are then more quicker to accept things instead of trying to fix them or oppose against them. That they where saying that this happens because we where supposedly conditioned to do so when we where younger.
Of course there too will also always be an exception to the rule and ones who don't follow suit, because of the fact that we are humans and that tends to be an unpredictable element in most experiments
lol So I most definitely would not say it applied to every single person and worked 100% of the time.
