My Civic Engagment II

How well do you believe the average American citizen understands US Ideals and how they are applied in government? Why does it matter?

I believe that the average American citizen doesn't understand pretty much any of the US ideals, or how they are applied. I know I don't. It is an important matter, but most people don't care. Sometimes I think about caring about them, but it's just something else all of us as a whole would have to learn.
