Good article for your first effort, clear, concise prose👍. I suggest that another idea for practical progress could be:

4. All ethnic groups have a role in the political development of our country.

You are right about civics education being needed in our schools.

Hi Phil,

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback – I really appreciate it, especially as I was just starting out with my writing! I’m glad the article resonated with you. You make an excellent point about the need for all ethnic groups to have a role in our political development. It’s such a crucial aspect of fostering a truly representative democracy, especially in a place as diverse as NZ.

Civics education is definitely a big piece of the puzzle. We need more people from all backgrounds feeling empowered to engage with the political process and make informed decisions. Your idea has me thinking more about how we can make those connections and ensure everyone feels included and heard in our political landscape.

Out of curiosity, what’s your take on how we could better integrate that inclusion into our current political systems? I’d love to hear more of your thoughts!
