Реферат: Loss Of Freedom Through Apathy Essay Research

The Internet that this generation seems to embrace so dearly will be censored

by the telecommunications bill and its television programming will include

little ratings on the top left of their screens. Politicians will have no

problem abusing the rights of this Generation X because simply put, they don’t

go our and vote.

In this way the government pays more attention to the elderly as compared to the

young. They will care more about the trials and tribulations of the rich and

middle-class rather than the suffering of the poor. They will support the N.R.A.

with it s sinful operations because yes, each and every one of their 2.5 million

members vote. The vote determines who has the power in this country. It is not

necessarily the majority. It is those who are dedicated.

America is the land of the free. Too many Americans take this for granted. We

are not a monarchy. We are not a communism. We are not a dictatorship. We are

a democracy and the people have the control. We are different from all the

other types of government because the voices that govern us are our own. But

when 250 million do not vote, who has the right to say that we control

ourselves? When half chooses to hold their mouths, who is to say that we are

not a nation of special interests who do not hold their mouths? We have freedom,

but it is apathy that is taking it away from us. We have that control we simply

don’t use it.
