Something that concerns me a lot is the lack of interest in politics and other issues that affect us all as individuals. Indeed it seems that the majority of people in my social circle have either very limited, media-influenced views, or more often - no view at all!
I feel it is fair to say that the majority of people in the UK are “entertained to death”. I have come to know this phrase to mean that we spend so much of our free time entertaining ourselves with television, internet, computer games and alcoholism that we spend very little or no time at all thinking about or observing the state of our society, our country, and the world as a whole, never mind taking action to change it. I am as guilty of this as anyone else.
