The final idea

My project topic has honed to what uni students think about politics, the reason behind this is that I believe that our opinion changes as we learn. Surveying uni students will allow me to get improved results. I intend to survey my classmates and interview friends, this will allow me to get a better idea of what uni students think about politics.

My research question is:

What do you think about politics?

Some possible sub questions are:

• do you want to be prime minister?
• why do you want to get into politics?
• why do you not ant to get into politics?
• what would you change?
• what would you keep the same?

These are just draft questions at this point in time, they will change. I hope to get an understanding of what image/s politicians and politics are painting for generation y. This image will show how society(part of) views the actions of political parties.

I intend to survey my classmates and interview a few friends, this will allow me to gather the data i need and it will not take a long period of time.

This image shows students protesting for education, it is an image that brings both the subject and topic of my research into a single image. 

Kids view on politics

Kids are the future. Children will grow to replace the current doctors, builders and politicians. the video i have linked shows what some kids think about politics, they are asked a number of questions that show their understanding of politics.

In the video the children discuss the reasons why they would like to be president(some), why they do not want to be president(some), what sex a president should be. this video reveals that kids do not know much about politics, this means they do not see the part of politics where the politician makes promises but ends up not keeping their work. As the students grow so will their understanding of politics, by gaining knowledge,  the children's opinions may change as their understanding evolves.

Thanks for reading
