The past eleven months have been marred by problems like the threat of thermonuclear war, inadequate response to gun violence, inadequate response to natural disasters, sexual assault revelations and human rights violations—to name a few. In troubling times like these, people are being encouraged to speak out and engage with the political process. But, as On The Media’s Brooke Gladstone tells us, engagement has to go beyond clicking ‘like’ on social media.
