When considering humanity's tremendous achievements, it's easy to see how powerful thought can be when put into action. However, we often overlook the other side of the equation: How much are we losing by failing to act on the thoughts that we regularly have but do not express? Charlie Wurz tackles this question in an extended essay examining politics in the United States, including the significance of the 2016 presidential election. He explores why many people accept sound bites from others to form their opinions, whether the American political system exploits silent thought, if silent thought exists in all segments of American society, what can be done to promote thought and expression, and who benefits the most (and the least) from silent thought. With a presidential election that could have staggering consequences for the United States approaching, it is a critical time for individuals to re-examine their thoughts, expressions, and actions.
