America's Youth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780737737363)

Editor Jamuna Carroll has compiled several pro versus con essays that debate and answer four major questions. What values do American youth hold? What behaviors do young people engage in? What risks do youths face? What would ensure the safety and health of young adults? By experiencing more than one intelligent opinion on each debated topic, readers will activate their critical reasoning skills in order to add to their own opinions. Superb essay sources include the Traditional Values Coalition, Barna Group, Corporation for National and Community Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Hilary Rodham Clinton. Mrs. Clinton happens to have the only honor out of the essayists to have raised an American child within the nation's White House, offering her a unique perspective on America's youth.
