This week in class we discussed the public’s opinion and how it influences the formation of a democratic society. I strongly believe that the public’s opinion plays a key role in the formation of a democratic society. Americans have the freedom of speech and hold a lot of power in their hands when it comes to choosing who they want in power. Voting is an amazing privilege we Americans are granted to have. A conflict that affects our privilege is that Americans never seem to be on the same page. There are always different groups that feel they are right and the others opinion is completely wrong. Is it best for our country to have such distinct separate groups? I think that since each person is an individual they will of course have different views on how our country should be run. The only problem is that we let status get in the way of what is actually worth focusing on. Many People view voting as a joke or that the government does not really take what we say in account. WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHOULD AMERICANS GET MORE INVOLED OR CONTINUE TO GIVE UP AND NOT CARE? The video I found that could help get what a lot of people feel of our democracy. It was created as a joke and could even be considered disrespectful. However it is a good example on how many look towards voting especially! Do we think voting is the “least we can do?” or is there more that Americans can do as well to affect our public opinion?
