| Abstract
|
:
|
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.
