what is a democracy

I believe that a democracy is any group that can influence the balance of its state and the hearts of the people.

By J. M. from Cross Creek High School in Georgia

Why do I think this represents democracy? I believe this statues represents democracy as democracies take practices such as voting and statues and monuments like this have to be voted on. Another reason I believe this represents an influencer of the state. This statue also shows that the view of African Americans in the eyes of democracies can be seen as and inspiration, or an icon, or a legend, to be honored in a public manner.

The Horses represent democracy by the way they work together to come up with ideas and decide what to do. The horses converse in some way before coming to an agreement.

This person does not like CCHS and they've been here for 2 years. They just want to graduate and become successful in life. They don't care about any of the people around them and could think of nothing to be proud of or remembered by.
