Can politicians solve our problems?

Castilla y León 2010 Option A


It is well know that several problems as the ignorance of the young people or the corruption strikes our society. Most of us expect  solutions from our politicians and feels outraged when they didn´y do it. Despite this, from my point of view not the entire responsability lies on the goverment.

First of all, as their name says they are "social" issues so they must be solved by us, the society. The politicians can and should impose laws and enforce then but is our choice to fullfil them or not.

Secondly, As we could have seen lately most of the politicians are unable to troubleshoot problems. Nevertheless, they are great finding the way to profit from them.

It is clear that is the people, which shapes society, the one that must change its behavior. To make this easier we can be helped by honest politicians, though.
