What is Our Youth Thinking? Social-Political Attitudes of the 1980s.

Hepburn, Mary A.

Social Education, v49 n8 p671-77 Nov-Dec 1985

Data culled from five 1980s studies show that youth today are committed to rewarding careers, good jobs, traditional values, marriage, and family. They are fixated on personal bread-and-butter issues and turn away from community and group problems. (RM)
