Occupy Movement Bringing out Political Cynicism
The occupy movement expressed more than just economic inequality. It established the creation of wealth as a critical situation shared amongst all. We see that it is more than a disposable sense of income. The current economic standstill and crisis affects much more than the American household income. The conversation between ourselves as well as our environmental standing altered the way we as a society look at own sphere. This then produced a change in the effect on our relationships and our "sense of social belongings". With this newfound intense realm of political cynicism the relationship between concepts of involvement and knowledge on political scales are negative. We gather from the reading "Reconsidering Political Cynicism and Political involvement the connecting variables between people and financial standings. The measures in which we perceive not only ourselves but our government are ever-changing. The Occupy Movement proved just that, it allowed a new realm of political involvement as well as drew attention to the ever growing cynicism in our society.

Good connection to the reading. And, of course, if Occupy Wall Street's goals weren't met, more cynicism should be expected.
