    Our Democracy

    True democracy is a great goal, of course everyone wants to have an equal say, but in practice there is still injustice. Not everyone has the same size straw, and some don't even have a drink, so to say.

    special project

    my post is describing how my friend feels about the Mayriver community and what I feel demonstrates democracy.

    The Scary Truth of Democracy

    The power of even one vote can sway the decision of all, half of the people will always be unsatisfied that is what terrifies me. Morality that respects democracy shatters then they the go against the fold with anger and rage.

    “What is something you are proud of?” Her father was a hard-working man going from a proud man in service in the marine core. “My dad was in the military on deployment for years and I missed him so much but it was for the better. Julianys Rosado

    I am a tough cookie.

    With her daughter going to May River, a good school that can teach you proper education, she has realized she is giving her the life she's never had. She is proud of what “she created”, and what the community influences is helping raise her daughter.

    Democracy to me

    This picture was taken in downtown San Luis Potosi Mexico in late July. Democracy to me is seeing how different we all really are and how we are all free to live completely different lives and go in very different life directions.

    Democracy to Me

    Have it your way. This picture was taken in 8903 South Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28273 in August 7, 2015. Democracy to me is how free we are, to go different paths and able to think differently, begin able to get a set limit only if we limit ourselves.

    Democracy

    Friendship is democracy because we all have different opinions but still come together.

    Our Democracy

    Our Democracy

    Volunteering in your community has to do a lot with democracy. When you volunteer you vote a lot for your community and how you want to live your everyday life.

    Democracy

    These May River students are voting on who has to buy Starbucks for the group next. “All in favor of John raise your hand” Because of this vote, John has to buy Starbucks next. Although John is not in favor of himself, the majority wins the vote.

    Humans Of MayRiver

    Jess- I’m connected through the school and friends. I’ve been a part of the community since late summer.The community has many different people, it’s large and some people are rowdy, but many are nice. I’m proud of facing changes.

    Our Democracy

    Some may ask how this picture signifies democracy. To me its very clear. democracy to me is the freedom to choose what to do with my life and time. If I want to game and eat chips that is what I will do, and because of democracy I can do that.

    Volunteers showing democracy

    Volunteer workers help there community out greatly by sweeping up extra dirt left in walkways, working together to make the city cleaner. People photographed: Volunteer workers

    Liberty and Justice for all

    As some may stand for the pledge and others may just sit down. And few might even support, but still not get up, why? One’s opinions should not affect us, but how come we feel offended if one person doesn't share the same faith as we do.
