Human life is unthinkable outside society. Individuals cannot exist in complete isolation.
Individuals make up society therefore it is important to act as a whole to enhance active participation in social discussions.
The society includes a wide spectrum of organisations and individuals. Their participation in public debates helps with personal, intellectual and moral development of individuals.
People of all social standings should be given an equal opportunity to debate in societal issues. This communication between groups of people is a direction whereby people can live a good life.
People should take part in public discussions of their own country and community. The compound should always be resolved to the simple element or at least part of the whole society. The society is the instrument for building up knowledge that could be used to improve the whole community members’ lives. It is the foundation on which decisions are taken and build from. All voices define the relationship of people to one another. It is through different expressions that a condusive atmosphere for our collective advancement is created.
Social issues encompass all spheres of human activity. Human activity should not be defined narrowly to only include relations between individuals and groups but should extent to the society as a whole. If all communities aim at the same good, human happiness will be at a greater degree.
Collectively we can bring change. All views are significant in finding solutions to problems, retaining unity and continuity through various transformations. Stand up and raise your voice!
