The Iranian society is dynamic. Individual activists, social groups, political forces and civil institutions all are involved in a vigorous process toward improvement. The diversity of opinion is the driving force behind this dynamism. People are convinced that they can make a difference and they are determined to do so. What perhaps distinguishes the Iranian society from many others in our region is the remarkable public interest in pursuing changes in social life and political developments.
People are eager to know about issues that concern their society.
There is also an increasing awareness and a tendency to learn about international and global issues. Iranians are not interested in such issues merely for the sake of knowing. They want to do something about them as well. That's the reason behind the massive participation in the general elections and other processes of civil and public activities. The average turn-out rate in the last three elections since May 1997 has been by all means impressive.
