This shows that the more modern the society, the more concern about political conditions grows. Dualism occurred in the community, namely 50% of respondents were interested in being involved in all activities related to the political world and 50% stated that they were not interested in being involved in political activities. 60% agreed and the remaining 40% said they did not agree.
