de·moc·ra·cy /diˈmäkrəsē/
NounA system of government by the whole
population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
A state governed in such a way.I would sum it up is being ruled by the people,
where they have a lot of say. I believe it is a very challenging form of government that has not proven that it works.

We have media all over the place in the United States in many different forms. The media has a way of swaying people to take a side and picking people to speak for us rather than speaking up ourselves.

A right and privilege that we as American citizens have is to vote! We pick who gets to represent us which is something not everyone takes advantage of.

Some children don’t get the same opportunities as others do and I believe that kids take this freedom and privilege for granted
