How do individuals and groups of people influence the political process?
Every idea has to start somewhere. Mainly these ideas start from a small group of people or just one person. Take unions for example, there are a group of people that influence the decisions of the political system because they agree to work together to get fair treatment in their industry.
In Wisconsin right now people are protesting right in the capital building to influence the political vote! I give these people all the credit in the world for standing in the capital building and yelling at the top of their lungs to make a compromise.
In our democracy one person's good idea is not enough the change the world, but you need to act on it and recruit more people to back you up to really make a difference.
Here is my question to you......
Do you think that a protest like the one in Wisconsin are the best way to change the political vote?
In Egypt, these political protests are necessary to give the people more power over who runs their country and how they do it. The media keeps giving Facebook credit for being the tool to organize these protests. If there were no Facebook, would these north African countries have done this?
