To me, democracy means a great deal.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0 our way to be able to express ourselves and\u00a0 have a voice. Thanks to democracy, we can\u00a0 truly say what\u2019s on our minds in our country without the fear of being put away, being tortured or even killed. I wish everyone could get a real democracy, so they would have\u00a0 the right to speak their minds and be able to vote.<\/p>\n
I feel lucky because in Denmark we as citizens have way more freedom than people\u00a0 in other countries. We\u00a0 can, for example, go out and protest against our government if we don`t agree. We can freely express our\u00a0 opinion and stand for\u00a0 our beliefs. We also have a say in which politicians can be\u00a0 part of our government.\u00a0 Moreover, we can choose our prime minister, which is something special.\u00a0 As for example, if you look at places like America or China, it`s the people of power and money that have that opportunity.<\/p>\n
In our group, we discussed how we as the young generation now have the responsibility to make the world better.\u00a0 For example, if we were to govern our country, we would do something about climate change. We also talked about how a good politician should have the ability to connect with people. Because it is the only way for him or her to earn people’s respect and support, and really make a change. Lastly, we talked about how important it is to vote because you have the chance to get your voice heard and who wouldn\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n
