Back Stem Great
How to get more young people involved in the Democratic process (voting)?

Let's face it, we can not depend on the older generation for answers. Look how screwed up our society is. Many problems stem back as far as the mid 60's. A bunch of the young people I have talked to and or worked with have some great ideas. Get the old people out of office!!!

You have to build their confidence in the functioning of a responsible and effective Democracy.
Youth are idealistic in outlook. They are Impatient, Adventurous, Impulsive, and though they do have great ideas a close look at them would make you discover that the ideas are mostly the result of a concerned Heart rather than the Rational Mind.
It is not that I am against the youth but just think all of us oldies have passed through the same stage and mostly have held the same thoughts / ideas.
You have to work with them and temper their impulsive and adventurous nature. Train them to be practically rational. Guide them, help them to look at things critically, with a long range view or the functioning of the social order. Teach them that change is always welcome but without creating chaos and confusion in the existing system.
You would feel proud the day they hold the reigns and steer the nation to greater heights in all fields of human activity.

About things being 'screwed up' at present Machiavelli has pointed out that human nature is such that humans always praise the past, condemn the present and look forward to the future.
This is the fact in every society the world over.
