Abstract
A historic election in 2008 brings up new questions about why there is a generational difference in political engagement. Younger generations became more involved in the latest election, and it is important for scholars to understand why this change occurred. In an effort to begin this conversation, the researchers asked young citizens to talk about their choice to vote or not vote, and to become more involved or ignore campaign 2008. Through a focus group investigation and an analysis of citizens’ responses, the researchers hope to further understand young citizens. Two themes found within the discussions are consistent with previous research: community and efficacy. However, this study explains some of the ways that these two motivations for action might be interlinked.
