Should politics be taught in schools more?

Young people need a better understanding of Politics

Politics plays such a large part in how our society is formed. Without an understanding of it young people are more likely to become disengaged or even elect people based solely on personality or media/public opinion, without taking notice of any possible party affiliation, policy/voting records, political and social beliefs or manifesto. Teaching children early on about the working of the political system, it's history and the variety of political beliefs and theories is important if we want to live in society where people are interested and engaged with politics.

Yes, yes politics should be taught in schools, but more importantly it should be taught in the home. Studies show that children are more likely to be involved in the democratic system if their parents are, it is simply a matter of education and environment. The responsibility lies not only with the teachers of these young minds, but the family. It is up to them, to shape their minds and to spark a desire to make a difference. I urge young generation to do one simple thing:care. Do not sit in a dark room playing video games, while the world crashes around us. Stand up, scream, shout, let your voice be heard. But more importantly, we must teach the generation of tomorrow to vote. VOTE!
