The society belongs to all of us so is the natural resources. We must be willing to embrace social change and focus on how we can help move the society forward. You don't need a permission to contribute to social change. We have just one life, so find a little time to give back to the society.

What is the problem? The big thugs and their big armies creating inequality and social exclusion in the society. They are above the law of the land. Anyone that disagrees with them is an enemy of the state.  The society needs inclusiveness for stability and sustainability. The society needs you!. Now is the time to think different. You can effect change from anywhere. We must change the way things are.

Today's technology has the potential to make change possible, so lets embrace it for good . In online space, in the words of  Susannah Butter: instead of making it a ''hostile place where anyone expressing an opinion that diverges from the accepted norm is shut down,'' and attacked. We must be willing to listen to both sides if we truly want to seen change happen. Free speech is a key part of democracy.

 We have carried out a series of research. Our findings confirms the evidence of daily experiences. what is happening in our society mocks democracy and development. This requires a new response, and a new approach.

There is urgent need for a Political leadership that will guarantee inclusiveness instead of social division, risk, deprivation, violence and destruction. No society achieves growth given the phenomenon.
