Millennial America: Young adults perspectives on country, politics

Despite that experience, he believes America is the best country in the world. As far as her opinion on Trump, El-Masri says he should not be the leader to represent what this country stands for. Arnett believes millennials disapprove of Trump’s job performance because of a generational difference. “America is not and has never been the best country in the world,” she said.

At age 18, she registered as a Republican, and now 25, she works, has two children, is married and has purchased her own home.

Out on the street, the school uniforms of the children revealed their age and set them apart. But their uniforms also made students into easy targets of an eventual violent response. Childhood is still projected as a state devoid of any political consciousness And yet, they have managed to rattle those in power. A new model for future political mobilisations may just be shaping up in the crowded streets of Dhaka.
