Democracy

Democracy and an example of what democracy means to me

By Christopher B. from Williamson High School in Pennsylvania

The American flag stands for many things for our country, and I think one would be democracy. Democracy also can mean a lot of things, like power to the people. I think our flag does represent power to the people, how we have our own system to vote for officials, system for justice, and how we have freedom. To vote for our own leadership officials, to have our own system of justice, and to have freedom, all represents our flag and it can also represent democracy and what it means.

"I want to be remembered as a great athlete, student, and person. When people think of me I want them to be happy. I want people to remember me as a happy and caring person that anyone can talk to. I want to be known as me, not my brother."

I believe that this writing project leaves much more to learn from the government and issues facing communities in our own life versus big national politics.

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.

The term democracy alone means "rule by the people", meaning not only one person decides for the people but the people decide for themselves.

Reflection- Through this activity I learned that decisions and acts that people do or do not make effect everyone. The gas prices affected not only me but my whole family. Hopefully steps will be taken to ensure more affordable gas prices.

"I think I showed courage when my husband died and I didn't fall apart, and instead I just decided, you know, life was still worth living. So, I figured I could also do everything myself, which I've pretty much have and I'm still alive and kicking."

This is what democracy means to me. I believe that in a democracy, everyone gets an equal say. Everyone's opinion is important. I think a history class is the most accurate portrayal of what a democracy is.

My picture is a cross, which shows democracy to me because of religious democracy. Everyone gets a say in what religion they want to be in. It also affects the laws and the rules.
