Political tunnel vision is today's real terror

Article Abstract:

The growing trend for people to retreat from the public and the political and instead focus on the private and the personal, as demonstrated by a steady decline in election participation rates, poses as much, if not more, of a threat to modern society as terrorism as it will lead to growth in feelings of insecurity and isolation and the development of a culture of fear. It is argued that unless we accept some political responsibility and reject the current, narrow, politics of fear, then we face an insecure and unpredictable future.
