Description
Civic matters affect all members of a community and are thus of potential concern to all.
In Community Matters: Challenges to Civic Engagement in the 21st Century, six distinguished scholars address three perennial challenges of civic life: the making of a citizen, how citizens are to agree (and disagree), and how to define the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The thought-provoking essays in this volume discuss integral civic concerns such as: how can we improve civic education?
How do we address controversy within our communities?
What are the responsibilities of a citizen? Should the national draft be re-instated in the U.S?
These essays will encourage students, academics, and interested citizens outside the academy to go farther and dig deeper into these vital issues.
