One resource I can share is The OpEd Project: https://www.theopedproject.org, and I'm also willing to share my other research and reasonings with you.]]> 2018-11-07 03:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412188637/g0w3bwlhgqxv/wish/301316258 Global Perspectives https://padlet.com/user_1412188637/g0w3bwlhgqxv/wish/301799673 I think it would be really interesting to talk about the difference in democracies in other parts of the world. In Madison, most people have an American perspective of democracy, but it is not the same in other parts of the world. For example, I know democracies set up in Africa are very unique and explore other interesting characteristics of democracy. ]]> 2018-11-07 21:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412188637/g0w3bwlhgqxv/wish/301799673 If you’re looking for a fictional tie-in, try an excerpt from “The Silenced” by James DeVita. It describes a society where freedom of speech is nonexistent and independent thought is prohibited. It was inspired by Sophie Scholl, a University of Munich student who died opposing the Nazi regime. Could set up an interesting discussion on the value of democracy and freedom to protest an unfair government. -Savannah https://padlet.com/user_1412188637/g0w3bwlhgqxv/wish/301848470 2018-11-08 00:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412188637/g0w3bwlhgqxv/wish/301848470
