• "We get the government we deserve" - Thomas Jefferson.
• Public issues should be awarded attention based on merit, not on volume.
• Everyone has a responsibility to fact-check what we read in news channels.
• Read news articles in their entirety, rather than just scanning the headlines.
• Separate the content of an argument, from the character of the person.
• Before writing-off relationships due to a disagreement, pursue common ground and look at the 'scorecard' of the person's history with you.
• When voicing opinions, rather than simply repeating the problem, bring a solution or at least a solution-focused attitude to the exchange. 
• It's in our self-interest to be collaborative, both at work and in our personal lives.
• There's many opportunities to become involved in government, seek out how you can contribute to a local organisation.
