At the beginning of the month, I
outlined the three principles of political health, those being citizen participation,
social justice, and institutional integrity. Of these three, citizen
participation is by far the most important, yet the most neglected.

people in Western society tend to believe our opinions do not matter and/or we
do not have much time to be informed of current affairs, let alone take action.
These beliefs could not be further from the truth, and I will briefly describe
some examples and a few action items on what you can do to improve your
political health.
