Abstract

This degree work focuses on knowing the perceptions about the political participation of young people and the use of computer tools, since there is a marked difference between modernity and postmodernity, as a result, great transformations and new reactions on the part of young people of the needs that society has had. The same ones that-in general-have always been similar, where the vast majority prevails over the social, economic and political spheres, but the detail is that they have occurred in completely different times. This research allowed us to highlight the great changes in the political participation of the young people of the 60's, 70's and 80's, with those of the contemporary era, giving us as a result that in the era of Modernity, young people who were involved in politics, were people really committed to defend a position or confront a situation that sought to solve problems or needs of society. But young people who participate in politics in contemporary Ecuador, forgot that high level of commitment and now they simply do it out of mere necessity that leads them to this path with the sole purpose of resolving personal interests. As part of the theoretical sustenance, we investigated everything that brought about the transfer between the era of Modernity and Postmodernity, as well as changes and transformations in the conceptions that you ng people have about politics and democratic processes. The approach of the treated subject was made through a methodology that combined the analysis of theoretical content and the data and information obtained through indepth interviews, the same ones that were made to new and old militants of the Democratic Center political movement. This descriptive-exploratory technique is typical of the qualitative method that allowed the development of this research. It should be mentioned that there are no similar works that have been executed previously on this topic. The analysis of results was made based on in-depth interviews that were conducted with psychoanalysts and sociologists, this allowed us to know what was the political practice of young people in times of yesteryear. By interviewing the permanent adherents and new militants of the Democratic Center movement, we were able to find out the reasons why they continue to be active as part of that political organization. As a result of this investigative study, we have that, the political participation of young people today is totally different from that participation of previous eras. This occurs as a result of the great changes that brought the passage from Modernity to Postmodernity, since through the fall of the Berlin Wall, in society there were transformations that led to young people participating in politics , no longer do so for a social interest that sought the welfare of all, but for a reality that revolves around personal needs and interests.
