7. Write a thoughtful reflection for this assignment and its impact on your thoughts prior to the
assignment and post completion of the assignment regarding the trends and rates in voter turnout
for general elections. Further reflect on how these trends might inform or impact your own
participation in civic life, politics and government and why different groups, cultures and
communities in America have different voting patterns. Is this due to a difference in attitudes and
beliefs, structural barriers and cynicism about government, or other obstacles?
