soc195 democratic citizenship

By Meghan Bang

de·moc·ra·cy  /diˈmäkrəsē/

NounA system of government by the whole

population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

A state governed in such a way.I would sum it up is being ruled by the people,

where they have a lot of say. I believe it is a very challenging form of government that has not proven that it works.

Since we have the freedom of speech, we have the ability to create change when it is wanted or needed.

We have media all over the place in the United States in many different forms. The media has a way of swaying people to take a side and picking people to speak for us rather than speaking up ourselves.

A right and privilege that we as American citizens have is to vote! We pick who gets to represent us which is something not everyone takes advantage of.

Some children don’t get the same opportunities as others do and I believe that kids take this freedom and privilege for granted

Serving your country is not just military service. It is supporting farmers, volunteering, getting an education and more.
