actualized citizen
Diminished sense of government obligation, higher sense of individual purpose
Voting is less meaningful than other, more personally defined acts such as consumerism, community volunteering, or transnational activism
Mistrust of media and politicians is reinforced by negative mass media environment
Favors loose networks of community action often established or sustained through friendships and peer relations and thin social ties maintained by interactive information technologies
dutiful citizen
Obligation to participate in government centered activities.
Voting is the core democratic act
Becomes informed about issues and government by following mass media
Joins civil society organizations and/or expresses interest through parties that typically employ one-way conventional communication to mobilize supporters
