Abstract

British adolescents may become the source for radical reform. The generation that came of age in 1968 generally rejected the concepts of sacrifice, responsibility and cooperation, but the 16-18-year-olds' response to examining the works of Thomas Paine suggests that group can be inspired by the ideas of social justice and individual rights. Acceptance of the status quo will probably be overturned when these adolescents mature.
