Smart Young Generation: Talking Politics without Stupidity

era where information can be easily accessed through various platforms, the younger generation has a golden opportunity and a big responsibility to be active in the political realm. The availability of information should provide a means for them to make more informed decisions. 

However, ironically, this phenomenon sometimes leads to the opposite result. Too often, information is spread without being properly filtered or assessed, leaving the younger generation trapped in a vortex of inaccurate, even wrong, information. 

This results in superficial views and comments made without sufficient understanding, which ultimately only complicates political discussions. Intelligent participation in political issues requires more than just receiving raw information. Young people should consider sources of information critically, evaluating their reliability and relevance before drawing conclusions or expressing views. 

Without a critical thinking framework, the information circulating can easily be misleading, creating an environment where political incomprehension is commonplace. 

Therefore, it is important for the younger generation not to only get involved sporadically in politics or based on superficial information. They should strive to deepen their understanding of complex political issues. This requires them to actively learn and understand political mechanisms and the impact of proposed or implemented policies.

In facing political complexity, awareness of the importance of an informed approach and critical thinking becomes crucial. In this way, the younger generation can make valuable contributions to discussions on relevant issues, without being trapped in stupidity or ignorance that can be detrimental to themselves or society as a whole. So how to avoid all that? So there are several things that young people must understand, namely the need for deep understanding, critical thinking before speaking, responsibility in disseminating information, and respect for other views. 

The young generation has extraordinary potential in bringing positive change in society. To optimize this potential effectively, it is very important for them to have a solid understanding of the basic aspects of politics before actively engaging in political discussions or actions. 

This is not just a surface understanding, but also involves a deep understanding of the political system that applies in their country, uncovering the political history that shapes current political conditions, as well as in-depth analysis of the impact of political decisions on various aspects of social life. Understanding the political system is not just a basis, but is a strong foundation for the younger generation to articulate their ideas and aspirations. 

Understanding the mechanisms of political structures, decision-making processes, and the exercise of power helps them grasp the essence of political dynamics and seek more targeted solutions. Along with this, tracing political history not only provides an overview of the country's journey to date, but also identifies patterns that may repeat themselves or signal better policy directions in the future. No less crucial is understanding the implications of every political decision taken. 

Political decisions not only affect the realm of government, but also have a significant impact on daily life, including aspects of the economy, education, environment and various other social fields. With a solid understanding of the implications of political decisions, the younger generation can be smarter in choosing the changes or improvements they hope for, as well as conveying arguments based on accurate information and facts in political discussions.
