Political background usually depends on the parents of the adolescent. I think that adolescents are more aware of
politics if their parents are actively talking about politics and sharing their view with their children and involving them
in conversations; however, it is when a person starts to near the end of high school and go on their own to college or
whatever that they start to develop their own views of politics when they are taught something different then their
parents. In order to test this, I would have to ask adolescence at about 14 -16 what they think about politics and their
political view and follow up eventually in about 5 years and see what they say about politics. I would also ask what
their parents say and see what they say and follow up in the next 5 years and see what they say. I could also ask
several 14-16 year olds about politics and see what they say and ask what their parents believe and tell them. Then
I could ask a group of 19-24 year olds and ask what they use to believe about politics and what they think now about
politics. Before adulthood, for most children, politics does not mean much to them and they have no care for them,
but once they step into adulthood, they begin to realize more and more how much their vote matters and how much
they need to speak up in politics.
