TED Talks - Antidote to Apathy by Dave Meslin

I strongly recommend everyone, but especially Japanese young people, to watch this to raise awareness of obstacles to being involved in political activism. Many of the 7 mentioned by Meslin apply to Japan, perhaps even more strongly than in Canada.

Meslin raises awareness of several key points such as how governments fail to effectively invite citizens to become involved in local politics, and how the media sends the message, through the emphasis on commercial content, that materialism is important but activism or advocacy, which does not make money for anybody, is not.

It would be nice if an interactive transcript could be added like other TED videos.
And Japanese subtitles. I just signed up as a TED translator and hope I can work on this one if I get the chance.
