Social change a priority for Americans

Almost all Americans made an effort to affect positive social change last year, and most say it is important to them personally to be socially engaged, a new study says.

More than nine in 10 respondents say they have taken action to create social change within the last year, and over three-quarters say such involvement is personally meaningful, according to an online survey of more than 2,100 adults conducted by Walden University and Harris Interactive.
