He examines their concepts of responsibility, the links they draw between present and future, and how they view themselves in relation to the larger human community in which they live. He brings us a range of voices, from I'm not that kind of person, to I had to take a stand. Loeb looks at how the rest of us can serve young people as better role models, and given them courage and vision to help build a better world.
