I particularly agree with this point: 'a genuine sense of community consciousness, especially at a local level, must also be established to combat the politics of social division and hardened separatism.' It's by working together and building understanding and community cohesion on a local level that we can hope to build the same on a national level and better society. It's true, your post is a bit idealistic. 'More needs to be done' is about the easiest thing to say and just about everyone says it [often from their easy-chair]. But even if optimism seems idealistic these days, which I confess it often does, it is essential that it is there as a means to hope and progress. Good article.
