HOW CAN WE IMPROVE OUR POLITICAL CULTURE
Political culture is referred to what people believe and feel about the government, and how they think people should act towards it, and to understand the relationship of a government to its people and how those people are going to act towards that government and others.
Political culture is important because it establishes against which politics unfold. It covers the: 1. Obligations of the government 2. The relationship between government and the people 3. The rights and responsibility of the people 4. The limits on governmental authority
They have been for sometime we say that all politicians lie and that none can be trusted. Politics and Politicians are most hated by us because they intend to distance themselves when certain problem arises.
We need to change how politicians do politics. They think they are doing more good than than harm. As we know it is impossible to get both the parties to combine as one, but if they could I know for sure that this society would be better, although everyone wants to be a leader. But above all that they campaign, bargain, organize, and do all types of work of making phone calls, making promises of fixing roads, bridges, market places, decrease of crime getting jobs and more.
Secondly we need to consider getting more police personnel in the streets, and mostly at the schools. Nowadays the children are bringing all sorts of weapons to school to hurt each other. So the police would be there to make sure they don’t enter the school compound with any weapons by searching them. Although the police alone cannot do it but the parents must be involve also. The children are the future and we cannot let them all die just like that.
Third and final, we need improvement on jobs. Most of our students that graduated from high schools and colleges cannot find a descent work to even pay back their student loans or to maintain themselves and most of them have CXC’s, CAPE and Degrees. All have been said is all promises.
Not all the politics are the same but they need to step up and fulfill their promises. We need to do better. Politics is about collective choice. We need a political culture that is able to live with and manage contradictory forces. So we the citizens need to be willing to partake and support that we call politics even if we don’t like the out come of the decisions make. It doesn’t mean we must not speak out when we see things that aren’t going right, because permanent settlements in politics are rare in political life because we have no way of reaching a verdict on contested issues. We need a better society and one we must have.
