Some highlights from bUSH7:
- 10:10:32 From
Federico to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : he meant that
democracy, and the ability for citizens to create change, isn’t a state in that
it doesn’t just happen. people need to act on their rights and create change
- 10:10:58 From Lily to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : I
believe that John Lewis means the democracy is not a form of government, but
rather a thing or belief that people practice
- 10:11:32 From
Beth to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : Democracy is a form
of government, but the people have the freedom to choose their representatives
and act to change the country.
- 10:13:47 From
Mira to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : Democracy is something
people choose to do, it isn’t just a form of government.
- 10:16:24 From
Harry to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : I think what he
means is that just because we are in a democracy by living in this country,
doesn’t mean that we are actually a part of it and that we have to take action
to be a part of it. Basically saying that we have to be more active in our
government and do things like vote.
- 10:17:32 From
Casey to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : I believe that when
John Lewis says “democracy is not a state, it’s an act”, he is telling society
that we can’t have a democracy without fighting for the soul of our nation. We
have to build a peaceful community to create an equal, fair, reliable, and
trustworthy democracy, but that only comes from acts within the nation first
from the people.
- 10:20:40 From
Rory to Spiro Bolos(Privately) : What John Lewis
meant was that democracy is not just a form of government, but actions done by
citizens such as voting, protesting, or anything else that gives us a voice in
how our country should function.
