Voting meanings I have say in who gets elected, what laws get elected and how the government money is spent.
One of the greatest challenges is the ability of a subset of people to use today’s media to spread lies and stories to support themselves.
Unselfishness. Caring. Common sense. Democracy. Schools that include civics and civic participation. Team mentality.
Division of ideology towards how to govern our country and taking the time to listen to others side, and questioning truths that put our democracy at risk.
Someone who actively gives back and participates in their community as well as being welcoming to those joining their community.
It allows the citizens to participate in their government which allows the majority to live safely and freely. It can also prevent the people from living in tyranny.
The spreading of fake news that divides citizens keeping them from working to improve society as well as the way capitalism has affected things and allows the rich too much control over government.
I believe that a good citizen is one that wishes to contribute to and better their society. A good citizen is someone who wants the best for everyone in their community.
Voting is important because our government officials make choices regarding our lives daily. Our voices and power as individuals may feel small, but voting truly does affect the community around us.
Ensuring the intentions of politicians are good. Many politicians aim for goals like furthering their own ideologies, even if it does not benefit our community as a whole.
