For my Student Geography Project, I am meant to choose a subject to do with either physical or social geography and perform research to prove or disprove a hypothesis. To keep myself enthusiastic, I chose a subject I feel is important: Rising youth apathy/ignorance toward government issues. Unfortunately I haven't been able to think of a way to measure how severe the problem is, or even if it exists, other than a survey which would be difficult to say the least. Can anyone help me?
