SOLUTION

INDINGÂ

TO COMBAT NEWER, MORE IMPLICIT FORMS OF DISENFRANCHISEMENT IT IS NECESSARY TO EDUCATE YOUTH ON THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING AS WELL AS IMPROVING POLITICAL LITERACY. THROUGH DOING THIS, YOUTH, ONCE OF AGE, WILL BECOME MORE ACTIVE IN THE VOTING PROCESS BECAUSE OF THEIR NEWFOUND AWARENESS OF THE POWER OF VOTING. AS DISCOVERED THROUGH THIS EXERCISE, SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE USED AS THE POINT OF DEPARTURE FOR INCREASING THIS AWARENESS. IT WILL NOT SERVE AS A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES BUT RATHER AS A PREFACE, LEADING TO MORE CREDITED AND ESTABLISHED NEWS OUTLETS. AS SUCH, YOUTH WILL ACT AS THE VOICE, ARTICULATING THE INTERESTS OF THOSE THAT ARE MARGINALIZED AND TYPICALLY UNDER-REPRESENTED IN AMERICAN SOCIETY.
