CITIZEN

ACTIVE CITIZEN



Single-Party State - One person controls everything, and nobody else can try to take control

Representrative Democracy - People vote for leaders who then decide laws

Theocracy - Leader or guardian council is appointed to speak on behalf of god.

Direct Democracy - Every single person is an active participant in the government

There is no best method of government, as each one is good in its own right.

To create an immediate impact on drug use, it would be important to list off areas and information regarding drug use and sale, and to bring that paper anonymously to the authorities.

THREE IMPORTANT ISSUES

- Early Release Schedule - Fourth Lunch Food Shortage

SUPPORTING RECYCLING:

When addressing various topics that require public concern, two frontrunners have revealed themselves: Bullying and Recycling. Although seemingly more important, essentially due to its violence, bullying only affects a select group of individuals on a small, localized scale, and, although a pressing matter, does not beg for the help of a group of students. Bullying has already been acted upon and rules have been implemented to deter potential bullies from acting. Policies on harrassment are bold and undeniable. However, no such laws exist regarding recycling, at least not to the same extent as anti-harassment laws. Punishments are not dealed out, and any government incentive give to push people towards better choices is ofset by even greater incentives given by society and corporations. Bullying affects those bullied for the time being, but they can quickly recover when the incidents stop. Recycling, alternately, affects us globally, affecting both our environment and our economy. To change the laws addressing recycling is to inherently change the future, allowing for the further existense and prosperity of our people. It is a battle between modern inconveniences and the state of our future. It is greatly tempting to beg for help now, but it is far wiser and nobler to act in a manner that betters future generations and existence.

We just, in essence, recreated the act of lobbying for a law, pushing for our opinions to be heard and voted for by a group, in this case the class, but in reality government.

Outcome: To spread the knowledge of recycling's results and process, and to allow for more opportunity for individuals to recycle, providing the option to those previously lacking.
