my presentation
- 1. LILIANA TAVERA MY MAJOR HERE AT GRAYSON IS GENERAL EDUCATION. EVENTUALLY I WILL TRANSFER TO A UNIVERSITY TO OBTAIN MY BACHELORS DEGREE IN DENTAL HYGIENE.
- 2. STAYING ACTIVE & CHANGE ? I like to be active participant in elections, because it is my right to vote. I like to make my opinion be known and my voice should be counted in the numbers towards that certain candidate of my choosing. ? I like the debates, however one thing I would change is for debates to be more about discussing serious pending topics. What I mean, is they should not just be about the two presidential candidates personally insulting or criticizing the other. ? Like President Trump through his whole campaign he stayed very vague about his plans, and until this day he is often vague or contradicts himself.
- 3. LESSON LEARNED ? I learned about all the things government controls which make our day to day lives easier. Just like the example listed on table 1.1 of a student in college. I’d never taken the time to examine it prior to this class. ? One thing I would’ve liked to learn about is the transition of power, and what that really means. What happens at the white house, and the things we don’t hear about when this is taking place. ? One thing that I was not expecting to learn about, is how the book compares our country and the systems we have here to other countries. It was good to know a bit more, and makes me appreciate my freedom, and America that much more.
- 4. SOCIAL ISSUES CONTROVERSY CONTINUES ? I think that as a nation of many different religions, we will continue to discuss things such as abortion, and planned parenthood funding for many years to come. ? It will still be important in the future because I don’t believe that this is an issue that will be resolved in the near future. In my opinion future generations will continue to discuss their different opinions regarding this topic.
- 5. FREEDOM OF SPEECH ? I believe this is the most important amendment, because it allows us to voice our opinions in favor, or against politicians or political issues. ? Like our book says these things are what prompt politicians and government officials to do something in response to our protests. This is what gives us our right to demand action or change from our government. ? Without the right to organize things like a March, protest, or peaceful riots I’m not certain the Civil Rights Movement would’ve had the same outcome.
- 6. INFORMATION FOR THE FUTURE ? I learned that it is very important for us to keep our government accountable. The founding fathers intended for the government to serve us, “the people” so they must listen to us. In order to be heard we must stay involved and active. ? I used to not really care about the government but it was because of my ignorance, I chose the easiest thing which was to not get involved because I didn’t know much about it. ? After reading “Influencing the government through mobilization and participation” I realized that when people protest they are not just wasting time, but taking the time to stand for things they feel are important to them. It has forever changed the image I had of protest participants.
