“Big World Idea" "Bend It" (THEME) Izaac always wanted to be on the “Benders" soccer team. When Izaac was very little, w he woul

d watch his older brother Zach play on the team and over time become a local hero. The Benders were undefeated and had won countless championships. Zach was on track for a scholarship to the state university. Izaac was always envious of Zach and wanted to be just like his brother. Izaac's father was the coach of the team and he begged his dad to let him on the team, even though he was a year younger than the rest of the boys. His father agreed but told Izaac that he would have to work twice as hard to keep up with the older boys. His dad also told him that he would be even harder on Izaac so the other boys on the team wouldn't think he was playing favorites. Soccer practice was tough! Every day, the team practiced long and hard. Weeks of practice were endured and many times Izaac felt like quitting. He was sore and tired and often wondered why he had wanted this so badly. Often, he knelt down on the soccer field feeling like he was going to throw up. Of course, the other boys didn't feel too badly for him, since they had been through the same thing. The Benders trained hard for the state championship and they knew they would face some “nasty" competition. The big day of the championship arrived, and Izaac watched with nervous excitement as his team won the first game of the competition. The second game, Izaac got to play for a few minutes and even made an epic block, but was benched for most of the time because he just wasn't as good as the other boys ~ yet. Izaac didn't get to play much but felt really proud to be part of the team. The Benders went on to win the championship and Zach was the hero again.

Which situation is an example of a citizen paticipating in the political process?
Airida [17]

Answer:

hi there!

Explanation:

A. A voting citizen in a local election

B. A citizen investigates candidates who run for office

C. A citizen sends an email to the Congress representative on an important issue

Citizen’s participation is a process which provides private individuals an opportunity to influence public decisions and to be a component of the democratic decision-making process.

Nowadays, more and more people take the initiative to make their local neighborhood more livable, for example, helping to maintain playgrounds or green spaces, putting LED luminaries thus saving energy, placing equipment for gymnastics.

As a result, the relationship between society and government is changing. Sometimes the government supports the engagement of the society but sometimes they don’t. Well, it depends on certain conditions

The main objective of this type of people is to improve the quality of life around us. This is called citizen participation. Some things may be more important than we think. For example, we can prevent streets, districts from becoming contaminated and, therefore, we can be examples for our family and friends.

People may participate in politics in many ways. They can write their Representative or Senator, or work in for a candidate or political party. They can make presentations to their local school board or city council, or call the police to complain about the neighbor's dog.  

Partly because of our federalist system, people have many opportunities to participate in our democracy on federal, state, and local levels. Some forms of participation are more common than others and some citizens participate more than others, but almost everyone has a voice in government.
