    • Abstract:
      The article discusses civilian service across the globe. In Israel, secular Jews are drafted at age 18 so military service is a rite of passage. Most Arabs support expanding national civilian or military service for everyone. Nigeria has the National Youth Service Corps., a one-year commitment for college graduates under 30. Malaysia has an annual lottery in which the government selects 85,000 recent high school graduates for a three month camp with training and community service.
