Introduction. This paper presents a hierarchical model of socio-political activity of contemporary youth based on the system-diachronic approach. The author developed and tested a new diagnostic tool for measuring the degree of activity, intentionality, and destructiveness in subjects of social, public, and political life – a questionnaire on young people's socio-political activity.

The transition from a destructive form of socio-political activity to a constructive one is determined by dominance of values of individualism and individualistic orientation, consumption in leisure, low confidence in authorities, high power motivation, absence of affiliation motivation, high satisfaction with education and professional activity, emotional stress caused by living conditions and social climate, and certain behavioral strategies, including repression, suppression, and use of sedatives.

Disinterest in pol'al participation is evidence that org'al participation (OP) reflects soc integration in democratic societies (in totalitarian societies participation is compulsory). OP is shaped by 'cultural norms,' 'situational needs,' & 'personal interest,' the latter 2 being characteristic of modern Western societies because of lack of sanctions on the former. Participation is related to SC: the higher the class, the more the active participation. Thus, 'org membership stimulates pol'al interest & influences pol'al att's more so in the Uc's. The function of SC is described in 3 types of org's: leisure, occup'al & special interest, & soc, civil & pol'al. The Lc's accept the status quo & are integrated passively (possibly through the MM) which would mean that Lc prosperity may not increase participation. P. D. Montagna.

In a number of respects, the voluntary response of New York City's sizable gay community to AIDS, through Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), has been unique. In addition to its important advocacy and service-providing functions, the work of GMHC assumed significant polit ical dimensions that served to counter discrimination, empower the orga nization's adherents, and help preserve their sense of community in the face of a medical and social catastrophe.
