What Is Civic Engagement?
Civic engagement is the involvement of people in their communities to take into account and address civil issues to bring about social change. This change can be achieved by developing the blend of information, abilities, principles, inspiration, and enthusiasm to bring a change. Civic engagement refers to enhancing the quality of life in the society, through both political and non-political procedures.
In democracies, civic engagement is required for democracies to function. In nations lacking democracy, civic engagement is often done through the arts (film, music, visual arts, theatre, etc.). Sometimes they combine. In my opinion, it is the combination of these procedures to effectively address the social issues.
The spirit of a stable democracy is about the voters enthusiastically occupied in civic life by taking the liability of structuring the communities, resolving communal issues, and by contributing in the electoral and political procedure(About). Studies on political participation have identified some of the inherent principles that are optimistically linked with the level and quality of engagement.
