Does privacy matter?

Election 2016

I'm not sure how many of you are following politics these days but for those that are it is an interesting time. For some of you this may be the first time you get a chance to participate in the political process. For our first blog post of Q4, I thought we would open up our blog to discuss real world issues that young people face today.

So here are some questions to ponder.

1. Are you following the political campaign closely? 
2. If the election were held today who would you vote for? Why?
3. What issues are important to you and your peers? Are they being discussed by the candidates? 

Do some research and find out what issues people your age around the country are concerned about and then give us your opinion on the questions above.
