▶ Your Answer : In today’s society it is considered that politics need a lot of attention from people, including students. Regarding this issue, some people say that students in the past were more active in paying attention to politics than students nowadays. However, I strongly believe that nowadays students participate more in politics than the students in the past. This is because firstly, the technology has developed and secondly, education encourages students. To begin with, the advancement in technology today such as that of the internet allows students to easily access to information that is related to politics. In the past, even though there was a big corruption going on, citizens including students could not realize about it. This is because the government can hide the information since single device was unavailable to observe the fact. However, nowadays, most of the valuable information of politics is revealed through internet, catching the people’s attention. Since most of the students nowadays possess a Smart phone which shows the time by time issues, they are more vulnerable to them. Abundance/Being abundant of information eventually leads children to participate in the politics. In addition, nowadays, education motivates students to have an interest in politics. Education indeed is a very effective method to make students care about the politics. Compared to the past, they are taught to be conscious about the change in politics and to participate as much as they can. Moreover, education in the past was harshly regulated by the government to render students to agree with their administration. For example, during the Park Jeong hee administration in 1970s, schools were not allowed to teach about the negative effects caused by them and recommended the ministry of education? to instead teach the great achievements of the government. As a result, students lost their faith on the government and that eventually decreased their motivation to participate in politics. To sum up, I believe that nowadays students can give more attention to politics since technology provides them valuable sources about politics, and the education these days encourages students to get interest in politics and participate. Therefore, today’s students pay more attention to politics than students in the past.
