SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Seeking answers as to why youngsters differ from their parents when it comes to turning out to vote, this title challenges conventional wisdom that the youth is plagued by a severe case of political apathy. It concludes that, while older citizens participate by voting, youngsters engage by being active in their communities.
