People appear to be rather cynical toward politics, which could conceivably turn into a problem for democracy. We cannot expect government to do things for us all the time. We need to have a sense of active involvement and participation. We need to be proactive toward the policies in a democratic society. Well, it's very, very different compared to what it was.
Some people see many aspects of our civil society in decline.
I'm not sure that we should consider this a quantitative problem. We should regard this, or society, as something that evolves, as there are always going to be changes. Life has moved on. It is different now. It is different because women, for example, are much more active in the workforce.
