But now that he’s 18 and about to be a first-time voter, he doesn’t think teens need political parties to make change. “My own political involvement mostly happens in front of a computer screen,” he says. “When an online movement like \u003ca href=\"http://blacklivesmatter.com/\">BlackLivesMatter\u003c/a> can force police departments to review their tactics, it’s clear that joining a political party isn’t the only way to make change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>TAKING THE PULSE\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[polldaddy poll=9275574]\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Meagley isn’t the only one. \u003ca href=\"http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/sites/default/files/publications/Participatory_Politics_Report.pdf\">Another study\u003c/a> about young people’s political activities found that 41 percent of young people have engaged in at least one act of “participatory politics.” What does that mean exactly? The study defines participatory politics as “interactive, peer-based acts through which individuals and groups seek to exert both voice and influence on issues of public concern.” In other words: lots of teens are online, connecting to one another to make a difference about issues they feel passionate about.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>FOR DISCUSSION\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/csloan-header.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Below are suggestions for discussion prompts to encourage deeper thinking about the Do Now topic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What’s the relationship between online organizing (e.g., replacing your Facebook photo with an image that shows your support of an issue) and more traditional means of protest (e.g., mobilizing a walk-out)?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How have your opinions on social and/or economic issues been affected by social media campaigns?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Can you think of other ways young people work towards social change today?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So what happens when young people use social media to start political movements? While the effectiveness of some strategies, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/06/29/more-than-26-million-people-have-changed-their-facebook-picture-to-a-rainbow-flag-heres-why-that-matters/\">changing your profile picture\u003c/a>, remains debatable, other efforts have resulted in real-life results. For example, recently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-boycott-in-protest-of-university-president.html?_r=1\">football players at the University of Missouri\u003c/a> announced via Twitter that they would refuse to play until the school’s president, Tim Wolfe, was removed from office. The players were joining forces with another student protester, who was on hunger strike, who objected to the way school administrators had handled a series of racist incidents on campus. Shortly after the announcement, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-protest-president-resigns/\">both Wolfe and the University’s chancellor resigned\u003c/a> their positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media can also fuel other youth-driven political strategies, such as student groups pressuring college administrations to divest from industries that profit from social issues ranging from apartheid to fossil fuels. Divestment causes are on the rise at colleges across the country, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-divestment-column-20150121-story.html\">yield mixed results\u003c/a>. Last December, the University of California (UC) sold off $2 million of its investments in private prison corporations \u003ca href=\"http://www.theaggie.org/2016/01/08/uc-directly-divests-25-million-from-two-private-prison-corporations/\">after receiving pressure\u003c/a> from the student organization Afrikan Black Coalition (ABC).

If you want to post a video of a protest or a violent arrest, you put it up on Vine, Instagram, or Periscope. If you want to avoid trolls or snooping authorities and you need to coordinate some kind of action, you might chat privately with other activists on GroupMe. If you want to rapidly mobilize a bunch of people you know and you don’t want the whole world clued in, you use SMS or WhatsApp. If you want to mobilize a ton of people you might not know and you do want the whole world to talk about it: Twitter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WEBSITE: \u003ca href=\"http://www.journalism.org/2015/06/01/millennials-political-news/\">Millennials and Political News – Social Media – the Local TV for the Next Generation?\u003c/a> (Journalism.org)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis website breaks down the different ways various generations digest news content. “When it comes to where younger Americans get news about politics and government, social media look to be the local TV of the Millennial generation. About six-in-ten online Millennials (61%) report getting political news on Facebook in a given week, a much larger percentage than turn to any other news source, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis.

But now that he’s 18 and about to be a first-time voter, he doesn’t think teens need political parties to make change. “My own political involvement mostly happens in front of a computer screen,” he says. “When an online movement like \u003ca href=\"http://blacklivesmatter.com/\">BlackLivesMatter\u003c/a> can force police departments to review their tactics, it’s clear that joining a political party isn’t the only way to make change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>TAKING THE PULSE\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[polldaddy poll=9275574]\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Meagley isn’t the only one. \u003ca href=\"http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/sites/default/files/publications/Participatory_Politics_Report.pdf\">Another study\u003c/a> about young people’s political activities found that 41 percent of young people have engaged in at least one act of “participatory politics.” What does that mean exactly? The study defines participatory politics as “interactive, peer-based acts through which individuals and groups seek to exert both voice and influence on issues of public concern.” In other words: lots of teens are online, connecting to one another to make a difference about issues they feel passionate about.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>FOR DISCUSSION\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/csloan-header.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Below are suggestions for discussion prompts to encourage deeper thinking about the Do Now topic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What’s the relationship between online organizing (e.g., replacing your Facebook photo with an image that shows your support of an issue) and more traditional means of protest (e.g., mobilizing a walk-out)?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How have your opinions on social and/or economic issues been affected by social media campaigns?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Can you think of other ways young people work towards social change today?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So what happens when young people use social media to start political movements? While the effectiveness of some strategies, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/06/29/more-than-26-million-people-have-changed-their-facebook-picture-to-a-rainbow-flag-heres-why-that-matters/\">changing your profile picture\u003c/a>, remains debatable, other efforts have resulted in real-life results. For example, recently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-boycott-in-protest-of-university-president.html?_r=1\">football players at the University of Missouri\u003c/a> announced via Twitter that they would refuse to play until the school’s president, Tim Wolfe, was removed from office. The players were joining forces with another student protester, who was on hunger strike, who objected to the way school administrators had handled a series of racist incidents on campus. Shortly after the announcement, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/09/us/missouri-football-players-protest-president-resigns/\">both Wolfe and the University’s chancellor resigned\u003c/a> their positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media can also fuel other youth-driven political strategies, such as student groups pressuring college administrations to divest from industries that profit from social issues ranging from apartheid to fossil fuels. Divestment causes are on the rise at colleges across the country, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-divestment-column-20150121-story.html\">yield mixed results\u003c/a>. Last December, the University of California (UC) sold off $2 million of its investments in private prison corporations \u003ca href=\"http://www.theaggie.org/2016/01/08/uc-directly-divests-25-million-from-two-private-prison-corporations/\">after receiving pressure\u003c/a> from the student organization Afrikan Black Coalition (ABC).

If you want to post a video of a protest or a violent arrest, you put it up on Vine, Instagram, or Periscope. If you want to avoid trolls or snooping authorities and you need to coordinate some kind of action, you might chat privately with other activists on GroupMe. If you want to rapidly mobilize a bunch of people you know and you don’t want the whole world clued in, you use SMS or WhatsApp. If you want to mobilize a ton of people you might not know and you do want the whole world to talk about it: Twitter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WEBSITE: \u003ca href=\"http://www.journalism.org/2015/06/01/millennials-political-news/\">Millennials and Political News – Social Media – the Local TV for the Next Generation?\u003c/a> (Journalism.org)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis website breaks down the different ways various generations digest news content. “When it comes to where younger Americans get news about politics and government, social media look to be the local TV of the Millennial generation. About six-in-ten online Millennials (61%) report getting political news on Facebook in a given week, a much larger percentage than turn to any other news source, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis.

Dr. Twenge’s analysis garners criticism from other psychologists, who argue that the NPI test is inherently flawed, and even that Dr. Twenge may be misinterpreting this data.

Given the issues today’s teens have to deal with — fierce competition for college, a tough job market, and, thanks to the Internet, less privacy than any previous generation — he says that teens may need a slightly inflated sense of self in order to successfully overcome the challenges they’ll face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A certain sense of invulnerability is a good thing,” he said. “There’s going to be occasions in your life where you have to engage in behavior where it’s not certain. Asking someone for a date or applying to college.

Some psychologists are pointing to a personality test called the Narcissism Personality Inventory, which seems to indicate that millennials have a historically high sense of self-obsession. But not everyone thinks the test is a great tool to use on teens, who may need an inflated sense of self to protect themselves against the natural pitfalls of puberty. In this week’s podcast, Youth Radio’s teen reporters turn the lens on themselves as they investigate their own narcissism scores, and interview an expert on what this trend might mean for the success of the next generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>To respond to the Do Now, you can comment below or tweet your response.

Twenge’s study of cross-generational narcissism. Using data from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), Dr. Twenge concludes that rates of narcissism found by the NPI have risen over time, notably amongst the Millennial generation. Dr. Twenge’s analysis garners criticism from other psychologists, who argue that the NPI test is inherently flawed, and even that Dr. Twenge may be misinterpreting this data. Whereas the NPI may show a rise in characteristics that Dr. Twenge attributes in narcissism, critics claim the test more so reveals findings of qualities such as confidence and self-worth, which cannot always be directly tied to narcissism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AUDIO: \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/10/13/338295367/how-millennials-are-reshaping-charity-and-online-giving\">How Millennials Are Reshaping Charity And Online Giving\u003c/a> (NPR)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis feature from NPR’s All Tech Considered looks at a counterargument to the idea of growing narcissism in the Millennial era – that Millennials are spending and giving more of their money for social good. Looking at giving patterns, the story claims that Millennials feel more of an obligation to give money to charitable causes, and also care more about investing in causes where the impact of their giving can be directly seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TEST: \u003ca href=\"http://personality-testing.info/tests/NPI.php\">Narcissistic Personality Inventory\u003c/a> (Personality Tests)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a test designed in 1979 that rates levels of narcissism by asking participants to select what best reflects themselves from a series of paired statements.
