The results
of this quiz accurately reflect my civic engagement because I am a person who
doesn’t like politics so much and results prove this. I probably call my
political engagement as a spectator which reflects exactly the results of quiz
because I am weekly focused on political and current events.
It is
something important to be aware of the country which we are living in so I
believe that we should know some features belong our country’s political
issues. Voting may seem the most significant thing but it is not the only thing
for being civically engaged. We can do many things such as joining a
demonstration, organizing a public event or motivating your friends in politics
by set up a table at public events and provide information to get civically engaged.
I attended a demonstration when I was in high school. My school chose me to
attend. Demonstration is about the 'Politics in Turkey
Skeptics
would rather not be civically engaged according to this: Skeptics are the ones
who don’t like to watch TV, read newspaper to learn about politics and current
events. Some people in democracy don’t give importance to be civically engaged
for some reasons. For example it can be about their beliefs. They can find many
things meaningless that can be a reason them to don’t participate. I think
there should be more advertisements about being civically engaged. For me,
people should be encouraged more. Increasing advertisements and changing ads
contents will get people more involved in politics including me.
Activists
are the people who want to take charge and become leader and they are most
likely to affect positive change through the democratic process. If every
individual becomes an activist there will be confusion among people that’s why
I believe that it is actually undesirable to have many activist citizens. I
believe all different three segments (skeptics, spectators and activists) should
be distributed equally for a better future. To contribute democracy, these
three segments have an important role because they complement each other’s
shortcomings.
