Although, not everyone wants to be a part of the politics and its games, being politically sound is important for everyone nowadays. Political knowledge might come in handy for you anytime and you should be well-informed about what is going on with your country’s politics.
Here are a few reasons why you should be politically sound –
- Knowing the current events is actually important; no matter how much it sounds irrelevant to you. Every political event is lined up and connected internally with a thread and you should be able to understand what is happening and why is it happening.
- When you think political events don’t affect your daily life, you make a mistake. Every political event happening in your country affects your life to a great extent. Take the example of the “demonetization” that happened in India recently. It affected the daily lives of the citizens to a great extent – where people were unable to buy things due to the lack of money. This might happen to your country too and it can be quite hard for you to handle if it comes as a shock.
- There are plenty of decisions you need to make as a civilian and it is absolutely in your hands which government you are going to choose. It is very important for you to be politically informed about various events and various works done by various political parties to make sure you have made the right choice. Just selecting a party because your family did or your best friend asked you to, won’t help you at all.
- As the new generation, the future of your country is in your hands. Think of a country in the next 10 years, where there are no politically sound individual and wrong people are handling the country. Would you like that? And at that moment, as a citizen if you cannot raise your voice against the corruption due to the lack of political knowledge, then that would be a shame. So you need to be politically sound to face such situations.
These are just a few reasons why you should be politically sound. Hope that is making sense now
