describe how being reluctant to participate in civic action to address social injustice could negatively impact social relationships in communities

Being reluctant to participate in civic action to address social injustice can negatively impact social relationships in communities by causing reduced trust and solidarity among community members, increasing divisions and social tension, and eroding shared community values such as fairness and justice. When people do not stand up against social injustices, those affected may feel unsupported and isolated, weakening social bonds and a sense of belonging. Additionally, this reluctance can foster misunderstandings and resentment, ultimately hurting cooperation on broader community initiatives. Over time, the persistence or worsening of social injustices due to inaction further undermines social cohesion and the overall health of community relationships.
