Throughout the world, ordinary people, especially young people, are deciding that they have had it with the way things are. They are no longer willing to put up with rules and conditions which make life more narrow and less satisfying than it could be. They want a voice in decisions which affect them. They are more con cerned witi tie quality of life and their relations with people than with the quest for status and possessions. I believe our country, along with many others, is approaching a turning :- it. The growing spirit of rebellion could ruin us or save us. It could drag us down into chaos and repression. Or, it could lead us on to greater human freedom and fulfiliment then we can now even imagine. Whether we take the one route or the other depends on how we respond, as a people, to the nearly universal conviction that the world is not as it should be. Many o('the young people I have talked to have grave doubts about whether it is still possible to start with what we have and work within the system to build something better. They look about and see a society composed of huge, im personal, hierarchical institutions - big universities, big business, big labor, big government.

The power to change the rules seems out of reach. The knowledge required to understand - much less control - our complex, technological society seems im possible to master. This is sup posed to be a democracy, but how can we have a democracy if only the experts know the answers? In circumstances like these, young people wonder if there is really any room left to be one's self and to affect the way things are.
