This question requires you to write an essay, which is a task you can only perform. However, we can offer some information that will enable you to begin working. The Cold War was a time in history when the Soviet Union and the United States, together with their respective allies, fought for control of the world's ideologies and geopolitics. The United States claimed that its major goal was to advance democracy around the world, but in my opinion, the politics of this era were primarily driven by a desire to lead the world in terms of influence. This is corroborated by the fact that many of the choices taken by the United States during this time period appear to have been driven more by a desire to outperform the Soviet Union than by a desire to advance international relations. For instance, the Space Race had little effect on international democracy. In spite of this, it was crucial to winning the Cold War and defeating the Soviet Union. Similar to sports competition, the development of nuclear weapons is more intimately tied to a quest for geopolitical clout than to a desire to advance democracy.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Indeed, young people have historically failed to participate in the election process - fewer young people vote than those of other age groups.
I think this occurs because young people feel there is a lot of corruption and lies in the political system, and that politicians do not act with integrity.
Many youngsters notice how legislators endlessly argue with each other in the House of Representatives and the Senate, or how is the relationship between the executive branch and the legislative branch. And they don't like what they see. They turn to the other side
How does this negatively impact democracy in the US?
Of course, that behavior is not good because youngsters are the next generation that is going to run the United States.
They have to be prepared, informed, ready to fill the highest political spots and corporative spots to take the US into the next decade. And if they are not informed and actively participate in politics, it is going to be difficult for them to understand what the country needs to move forward.
