Generation Q

After reading both pieces, I found my response to be somewhere in the middle. At first I thought that what Friedman was saying did not reflect what I have seen. To me, everyone I know is very political y active and involved in what is going to happen in our future. So I felt that most twenty somethings were active, but I see his side because we are not forward enough in pursuing what we believe. I think Martins response was precise but not accurate. As I think more, I do see that people have strong beliefs but they are not pursuing them in a fashion that makes sense to others and gets the point across. Martin talks about the internet and I think that that the twenty somethings use the internet as their main way to speak out and get their point across. I felt that Martin expressed her end of the extreme while Friedman expressed his opinion but was not as firm. My opinion takes from both sides and both pieces got me to really think about what our generation is doing and what they can do.
