We as a society have long been taught that the government is invaluable in creating and maintaining social order. However, this idea is idealistic and, in practice, unrealistic. The role of forcing social standards often falls to the public. This is apparent in many societies, as the public maintains social order through revolution and formation of new governments to prosperous times and even the destruction of nations. One of the moments in history that most exemplifies only citizens…

My interviewee knew very little about the American colonial period, for he never took an interest to learn about it throughout his life time. In high school my interviewee learned that there were many colonials in North American who got their freedom from Britain because they were differences. He also learned about all of the battles that the American colonists fought against the British Empire, and the colonist being the first ever Americans. The American revolutionary war fascinated my…

Nowadays, an increasing numbers of Americans are arguing that whether U.S should carry out direct democracy to replace representative democracy in U.S government system or not. Direct democracy means people vote for what they want and they do not need a government to interfere with the issues of their nation.
