It is our wish that the mastery of AQ skills will translate into real social action...to confront weak and unsound arguments and give a voice to the marginalized and voiceless around us. Social inequality emerges from the inability to find common ground amid the different lifestyles and experiences we see around us. This can sometimes result from our lack of contact with real concerns on the ground. Policies inspired or sustained by economic rationality can reduce human struggles, perceived social problems and ordinary people into numbers when it ought to be values that best shape and determine our humanity and character as a nation.

Much to ponder about- the society we want, as we remember our humble roots and celebrate our Golden Jubilee.
