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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this post I interviewed a student from May River asking them questions about the community, themselves and other important questions that have something to do it.

For this post I am using my rings to represent the freedom of self-expression. I use these rings to add emphasis to my hands and to express myself. This also helps to keep my individuality. Freedom of expression is very important to me and my life.
