Nicely put. I agree that it is worrisome that we, as college, are no longer really getting anywhere and not out in the streets protesting in marches, but that our messages and protests are simply in the form of words on a social networking system such as Facebook. It really does put things into perspective…

This is really interesting, I have never thought of it before, it makes you think about what we, as a generation really care about. Our parents had such strong opinions on matters that are now influencing us, and we spend hours a day on a social network with no real purpose other than publicizing how many friends we have, it makes you think. Really great article!

Bravo Ashley–thanks for sharing your insightful points of view. As a person who lived through those times of youthful activism 40 years ago, I have a GREAT HOPE for the youth of America today. And I feel that Facebook does not accurately reflect the “conscience” of caring and concerned people of any age. But the difference in the numbers you wrote about were very eye-opening. With people like YOU, writing your thoughts and opinions, reminding us of the better person we can be, activism in the USA will never die.
