I think part of it is this ambivalence to attempt to make change out of fear that in the end nothing will change. I'm a Political Science major at my university, and one of the biggest issues with getting people involved in any cause is most believe that getting involved in a cause or movement will not actually change anything. I can't say for sure this is something that plagues the rest of the U.S., but I know there is this deep sense of powerlessness in the face of the government these days.
