does mindset make people more/less willing to participate in politics? does it make them more/less active in politics? does it make people more or less open to hearing the ideas of others?

       I think it depends on their mindset. Some people with a more open mindset may be more open to hearing the ideas of others, engaging in politics, and being active in politics. Those with a more closed mindset may be less active in politics and may not be open to hearing the ideas of others.

       For example, someone who has never voted on a political event most likely will not want to participate in political conversations. If someone does vote, they may be more open to a political conversation. If someone has a very fixed and closed mindset they most likely will not listen to opinions other than their own, but someone with an open mind may listen to other opinions and hear their ideas.

       I hope this helps you at least get a start, have a nice day! :)

appeal to ethos is your answer.

it should be

hard work gives a person a sense of satisfaction; likewise, it to pay the bills.

so the punctuation is not correct.
