In which circumstance is being politically active NOT recommended?

Being politically active for only one year is not recommended because political engagement typically requires a longer-term commitment to be effective and meaningful. Issues addressed in politics often evolve over time, and short-term involvement may not provide sufficient opportunity to understand complex topics, build relationships, or develop a consistent voice in advocacy. Engaging in political activities can lead to more substantial outcomes when approached with a long-term perspective, thereby fostering continuity and depth in one's involvement. This allows individuals to become more informed and influential over time, which can lead to more significant impacts on legislation and policies affecting their fields.

In contrast, continuous involvement or participation during an apprenticeship, responding only when confronted with issues, or engaging through peaceful means are all seen as ways to foster a more constructive and progressive political environment.
