And it's only getting worse with a younger generation of Americans who do not see the value in voting. The good news is that the bad news is wrong. In this third edition of The Good Citizen, Russell Dalton uses current national public opinion surveys, including new evidence from 2018 Pew Center survey data, to show how Americans are changing their views on what good citizenship means. It's not about recreating the halcyon politics of a generation ago, but recognition that new patterns of citizenship call for new processes and new institutions that reflect the values of the contemporary American public. Trends in participation, tolerance, and policy priorities reflect a younger generation that is more engaged, more tolerant, and more supportive of social justice. The Good Citizen shows how a younger generation is creating new norms of citizenship that are leading to a renaissance of democratic participation. An important comparative chapter in the book showcases cross-national comparisons that further demonstrate the vitality of American democracy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g ch. 9 $t Norm Shift and American Democracy. $t The Social Transformation of America -- $t The Evolution of Citizenship Norms -- $t The Plot of This Book -- $t Conclusion -- $g pt.
