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 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.

Our democracy

This is a picture of me in Denver, Colorado on 1/22/21. This picture shows a feeling of being free and the background represents my future and all I have to still see and look forward to.

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.

"May River helped me realize I could pursue my dream career in art, my final I painted in my art 2 class got put in a art gallery. That made me feel like a real artist, and made me realize my five years of practicing was worth something."- DR

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.

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.

My view on democracy.

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.

Humans of May River

"I have been a part of the community since I was born, I've watched as it has rapidly grown throughout the years". With that "I would like to be remembered for supporting those in the community who feel they don't have a voice in our community."

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.

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 photo is a pile of assignments and notes from multiple different students. These students share the same computer and work area. This represents democracy to me because it contains more than one students opinions/projects in one area.

What democracy means to me is that everyone has the right to vote. We are all equal when it comes to picking the leader of our country. It is not one party's job to pick the next leader, it is the community or the country that can help dictate who be
