Apathetic Democracy: Preventing it With Young VoicesAuthor: Brian Joseph, Logan Balfantz, Mitchell Robson, and Amanuel Shiferaw
"The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy"--Montesquieu. Inspired by recent events, we--4 soon-to-be college students--have decided to create a podcast meant to address American societal issues in relation to our democracy. We each care deeply about our society and those who live within it. Our goal is simply to engage in conversation--that is neither partisan, nor divisive, but, rather, inclusive--meant to prevent the possibility of an apathetic democracy.

Tuesday, 16 June, 2020
Montesquieu stated the following in his influential text The Spirit of the Laws: “The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.” Apathy can be defined as a “lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern,” and, in this podcast, we are attempting to use each of our voices to prevent the dangerous force of apathy from overtaking our society. Welcome to Episode 1 “The Other Pandemic” of Apathetic Democracy: Preventing it With Young Voices.
