In any democratic society, politicians do not get into the government on their own. They need to be elected by others, they need “our help”. But then WE are the ones who judge them later as persons who do not behave “ethically.” So I wonder why did you vote him/her at elections if you consider them not to be a trustworthy person?? Here I totally agree with Savater. I mean we can`t expect others to solve troubles as if they were superheroes!!
As Savater says there are good and bad politicians like in any other field: good and bad teachers, football players, etc. We should not always think that all the politicians are not good persons because they couldn’t or can’t fulfill our wishes that concern public life.

I think that this picture may show us what young people think about politics. They don’t want to feel involved in that kind of matter since they may think that politics is a dirty business or just because they feel that politics isn’t related to their lifes.

Have you noticed that you started talking about "we", Laura, but then went on to talk about "you"? Interesting...
Why is it that many people feel politics is not "a matter of their concern", in your opinion?
As a teacher, do you think you should do something so that your students changed their views on this issue? If so, what might you do? If not, why not?

There are several reasons that people may have to feel that politics is not a matter of their concern. I believe that one of them may be the fact that politics nowadays is considered to be connected with persons who are not very trustworthy, or loyal to the promises that they have made. This could be a reason for the lack of interest in politics.
As a teacher, I think that I should do something about that issue because politics is related to us; according to Savater, politics is related to society, and it is employed in order to look for the people’s welfare. That is why, they should also take part of that matter, since they live in a society where they interact with others. Then, in that case, I think that I should show them that we can change that picture of politics related to suspicious-disloyalty-etc. by teaching them moral values; so when they are the ones who have to govern the country, they will do it according to the moral values that they have learnt not only in a classroom but also in their daily lives.
Well, Lau, I've liked every single word you've posted so much that... you've left me speechless! 8-o! And you know that doesn't happen quite often, do yo? ;-)
LOL,
Gladys
