Let's take advantage of a lingering mood of new beginnings and resolutions, and let's be a little more proactive in our lives. This February issue of Libertas+ is dedicated to Young active citizen. How could young people be motivated to be more active, interested and participate in their society? Let's read some fresh ideas of our contributors.

In 1967 a movie appeared on the big screen that managed to win one Oscar. Even though the film didn’t receive the acknowledgment of a great master- piece, today this film is classified a clas- sic. The Graduate is based on a novel written a few years prior, and presents an interesting and at that time yet unseen plot. Benjamin Braddock is a recent college graduate who finds himself in a very unusual and confusing situation. Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father’s business partner, tries to seduce him. Besides facing the prob- lem, what is he going to do about his future and the small affair with Mrs. Robinson? Benjamin faces another dilemma when Elaine, the
