Our Democracy - Our Democracy

Summary

In this post I talked about what democracy means to me.

Democracy means giving people choices and letting them make their own decisions. You can try to influence their decisions but ultimately it should be them who make the decisions. Democracy also means accepting people for who they are. They are given the choice to be the person who they want and people should accept them for it. People should have the right to be who they want to be.

This photo represents democracy to me because it shows that not accepting people for who they are is not tolerated. People are given the choice to choose who they want to be and they should not be hated for it. Democracy is having the public choose who to elect into the presidential office, but it is also much more than that. Social Justice also ties in with democracy. Social Justice is giving people the choice to be who they are.
