Blog IV: "What are the prospects and limits of my power as a Citizen?"

According to the facts I learned from the lectures in class and my experiences during the project, I learned that the citizens of a democratic country should be the one who is running it, not their leaders. The leaders should base their actions and decisions according to what the citizens want. The citizens should also be sure of what they need and what they want their leaders to do. Because the citizens are indeed many, each of them should know what the others need, and therefore using these as the basis of what to tell their leaders what they want them to do. Good leaders should also be the one who knows what the general public needs and what his/her people want, then should base his/her decision from there. Citizens have limits too. Citizens need to agree upon which of their own needs are better for everyone. They should be heard because their needs and wants affect what the leaders' actions and decisions. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you're a citizen of a democratic country, you have the right to share your thoughts and tell your needs.
