Cynicism 'can damage democracy's health'

This research this article describes appears to attempt to identify cynicism and contempt for politicians, the media and so on as as a kind of behavioral problem or phenomena that threatens 'democracy'...

Rather than looking at societal processes like increasing governmental authoritarianism and habitually lying media as possibly the cause of a wee bit o' contempt?.. I think I'm feeling a bit of contempt for the research.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
