To Ken Alexander,
Through reading your article about the current "Generation www" I was exposed to about a dozen points of view from students within my English class about the commentary. Nothing new was being presented besides the fact that the ideas presented were presented through an opinionated paper, rather than simply a news articles or statement out of a megazine. This was likely the reason why there were so many different reactions from my pupils. I was not impressed with the way you described current schooling systems. Sure it may be true that history classes may no longer be a popular as they used to be or shorter, but in many people's cases such as myself, this is because other classes are being taken up such as two or three math classes, which could possibly be more relevant and useful in terms of finding a successful career. I support your thoughts about people now being generally disinterested in politics and current events but I don't believe that everyone fits into this category. It simply takes less effort to generalize an entire population. It's alright that you believe that "all" of today's younger generation has become only interested in social networking and video games and that not a single person still living with their parents could possibly be interestedd in what you're interested in. However, you must also take into account that your generation played a role in this trend as well, whether intentional or not.
