“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”

This quote is really intriguing because of the great impact that it has on the reader: you suddenly feel a sense of responsibility towards your country having the commitment to make it better. Many times we forgot forget about our power and our responsibilities and we start to blame the State, thinking that it is the reason of our problems. We are not aware that we are the State and everyday we have the chance to make our country a better place and fight for our beliefs.

Deeply linked to this quote is this other one:

“Which government is the best? That which teaches us to govern ourselves.”

By saying that, Goethe wanted to highlight the importance of education and the fundamental role of the State in the process of inclusion: government and people should “walk hand in hand”, mutually supporting each other and giving everyone the opportunity to of developing their own ideals, in order to ensure a harmonious society.

Confucio said: “An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.”
The idea of ​​oppression might be somewhat considered in a different way compared to what Confucius thought: we tend to consider oppression as the violation of free speech, the inability to speak up against our government without fear or persecution.
In the Eastern countries, for example, opposing one’s superior, whether it be your father, employer, or president, is considered foolish, simply because  your superior is believed to know what’s best for you.
This concept of power could be considered questionable but it must be contextualized in order to understand the real meaning: an imposing government can guarantee justice and equality but it’s important not to let it be coercive and excessively imposing because it risks to overwhelm individual freedoms.

B:"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" by Margaret Mead

I strongly believe in this quote, because as we know from studying history it has been common that just only one person changed the society's mentality thanks to his discoveries.
If we think of Galilei and all the few scientists that supported the heliocentric theory we notice that they totally overturned all the beliefs that people considered absolutely as true.

F:"Which is the best government? That which teaches us to govern ourselves" by Goethe

I really agree with this quote, because teaching to citizens how much is fundamental it is to follow the rules is the basis of every society. In fact, we can live happily and in harmony with the  each other only if we respect their liberty. I believe we can govern ourselves only if we have received a good education both at school and home, but it all starts from the government.

H:"Ask not what the government can do for you. Ask why it doesn't" by Gerhard Kocher

I fully retain this quote right, because if we just put our attention to what we can't have we are just complaining uselessly. It's important to remember that we live in a society in  which we have the power to think and to protest if something goes wrong. So, if we reflect about social, economic, cultural and political problems we can become aware of the limits that our state imposes on us. I believe that for a state the most dangerous thing is a thoughtful  population. However, thinking is one of the fundamental rights that belongs inherently to human beings and it can't be limited or cancelled.

The first quote I want to focus on is:

“There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship”

Democracy entails giving broad rights to people in all three main spheres: social, economic and political; it must guarantee equality and freedom to all irrespective of their relation, skin colour, culture, religion, and language.

Democracy gives value to all people and for democracy to be successful, all citizens must partecipate actively and not passively, because they are aware that the success or failure of the government comes from their responsabilities and daily involvement.

In this regard, the president John F. Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”, this quote underline the citizen’s sense of responsability and duty which affect the all mankind, all the people have the opportunity to make the world a better place and make everyone equal by eliminating inequalities and discriminations.

The last quote that had intrigued me it is the quote by Confucius: “ An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger”; by saying that, the chinese philosopher wanted to make evident that an oppressive government can be dangerous for citizens, because it limits their human rights, even going so far as completely cancel them.

A tyrannical government doesn’t promote and protect the human rights and citizens’s freedoms.

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country".

I decide to choose this quote by John F. Kennedy because I found it extremely up-to-date. We always take for granted that the state should protect us, but often we engage dangerous behaviors, which can endager other people.
Accordingly, the solution is that everybody should have a responsable behavior and act in accordance to the interests of all the society.

"Which is the best governament? That which teaches us to govern ourselves"

This quote by Goethe highlights how good gvernance should be: the state we live in, should ensure us all the rights we have, but also make us responsible citizens who must respect duties, in order to live in armony. Duties are, indeed, necessary to build a functional society and in order to make eache of us responsible for himself.

" You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it".

The last, but not least quote is said by Malcom X and it is  highly meaningful because it is important that we always use our mind to think critically in order to recognize  negative actions. It does not matter who does it, but it counts how we approach them.
In this regard, the poetry we read by Owen, draw attention to the horror of war and the hypocrisy of patriotism. The idea of war is often idealized as a glorious endeavour, but it hides the dreads and the pains of numerous people.

"Never doubt that a smallgroup of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it´s the only thing that ever has"  - by Margaret Mead.

I hardly believe that every single action can make a change in our world and it depends on us if this small change would will be positive or negative. I think people should understand than every single action is important! If nobody starts  doing something anything to improve our society, the problems will never found find a solution. One great example is  climate change. Some people asked me why they should change something in their lifestyle, when the big industries still pollute our planet. My answer was that also our enviromental  impact is important, so if many people would do something, from a little action will become a big change for our planet. After all the ocean is also made up of many drops of water.

"You´re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can´t face reality.Wrong is wrong,no matter who does it or says it" - by Malcom X

I think it is always important to thinking about the consequences of our actions. Some people forget about this and they feel legitimated to say or do whatever they want, without thinking about the pain they can cause to others.
Loving your country is one thing, being blind with patriotism and becoming a racist is another. You cannot justify a war because of the honour of your country and you can´t hate someone that you have never seen before just because this person comes from another country or has another religion. This quote reminds me of this: no matter who you are, if you make something so horrible as a war, you have no justification.
So just try to be openminded and kind to everyone and learn from your mistakes, since all people make mistakes, but we will always have a chance to become a better version of ourself.

"An oppressive government is more to be feared that a tiger" by Confucio

An oppressive governament doesn´t care about the needs of the people and human rights are often not respected. People aren´t free and they can´t feel safe in this governament, because every word they say it can change their life forever. I can´t conceive a world without freedom, but I know there are many contries like North Korea that still in this situation.
A tiger can pass you by and do nothing bad to you, but an oppressive government can take away one of the most important things in your life: your freedom.

“You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
Multiple times I’ve seen people justify the wrong actions of political leaders, because it’s for the “safety of the country”. If someone makes a bad decision, or goes against the will and the rights of other human beings, he has to take responsibility for it.
And I think that this quote strictly connects with this other one:
“An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger”
Because political decisions can’t always be about economy and money, we must remember that a nation is also made up of humans with specific needs and thoughts. We must not kill and eliminate freedom of thinking/voting/press/talking. These are inviolable human rights.
“Ask not what the government can do for you. Ask why it doesn’t.”
I think that a good government can be recognized by the amount of attention given to it’s citizens, ALL of them, and their needs. Their chances to have a stable job, their medical condition, family needs and things like that.

"Ask not what your country can do for you ; ask what you can do for your country"
I think that Kennedy with this quote Kennedy wants to convey a powerful message. We always have to be responsible of our own actions, for ourselves and for the others, for example we must protect the environment  to live a better life.

"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship"
We must respect the rules and rights to try in order to create a more and more a united and supportive country.

"If power made any difference they wouldn't let us do it"
There will always be people who try to emerge by hindering others, but we must try to make ourselves feel and express our thoughts.

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face the reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it"

Man is very often obliged to say yes to what he would not like. Our society is oppressive, very often leading us to deny the reality that surrounds us made by deaths, crimes, violence. Many men, often political or military, tend to put a hand before their eyes to deny the evidence and the raw reality that surrounds us and do so only to abuse their power and get rich. Man cannot deny reality, he cannot pretend anything must rise up and he must try to change society.

"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizienship"

Every man must be free to live and express himself freely within society according to his rights such as freedom of speech, of the press, of thought. Every man must be free to actively participate in the choices made by the government for the state in which he himself lives through his freedom to vote. This must be a perfect democracy in which man can act with all the freedoms that have been granted to him, he must be free to express an opinion, he must be free to write a newspaper article without being executed and he must be free to vote on whomever he prefers within politics. But a perfect democracy must be in contact with a perfect community, of people who appreciate each other, who love each other and above all respect each other. Man must respect himself as he must respect others. He has to respect his thinking, his sexual orientation, his ideas even if they are conflicting. And also there must be mutual aid to evoke their rights when they are not respected by the government or the state itself. Even in this situation of Coronavirus we could see the enormous collaboration that there has been on the part of many citizens, which has made Italy (but also the other countries) even more united.
