Some “What” Questions About Future Citizens

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Making Citizens

Abstract

What could families, schools, churches, workplaces, voluntary associations, and the media do to propagate a less superficial and more personally meaningful understanding of political democracy than that now widely shared by the public? What could they do to increase public support of and participation in such a political system? This chapter considers a limited set of research findings related to these questions. However, it recognizes that there are major political, economic, and cultural constraints on the ability of each of the institutions to make better citizens.
