Polls and Protest

In: Foreign affairs, Band 49, Heft 3, S. 548-555

Abstract

Over the last 5 yrs the number of US students participating in protest activities has increased steadily. The anti-war protests have reached into relatively moderate pol'al sectors among students. But while the students have moved to the Left in their pol, most of them have not become alienated from society, nor do they support radical activism. But though the majority of the student body remains unalienated, it is becoming increasingly reform-minded & often critical of existing policies & att's. Surveys also show that students overestimate the % using drugs & the MM do the same. IPSA.
