DO NOT FORGET YOUR NAME IN YOUR POST. en-us 2022-01-05 00:55:49 UTC 2022-01-05 16:18:15 UTC hello@padlet.com The reason I chose this one was because I believe a government should help build the future of the children in it, while also taking care of those who have already contributed to it. Also to help the individuals who are neglected/sick or cast out. - Aayan 349953125 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976714818 2022-01-05 15:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976714818 340855568 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976715308 a government should treat everyone with care and respect and make it a safe a comfortable environment for everyone no matter their circumstances. I selected this quote because it talks of treating people of all kinds equally and that is important for a stable government.

And number three is explaining a portion basically saying that the government needs to know what they're doing. At least this one goes in depth to explain who they'd be helping, and that they should be helping the minority groups and etc. - Justine ]]> 2022-01-05 15:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976716727 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976716892 I think that this quotation best captures how a nation should care for its citizens, because out of the three quotes it includes all age groups of all sorts of people, and unlike the other two, this one is not as vague, and there is less possibly for double meaning within the quote. -kinny]]> 2022-01-05 15:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976716892 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976722836 I feel that this quote shows how the government should truly care for citizens in their area. This quote explains how the true test to a good government is how they treat people who have disabilities, can't afford a home, or are living their best lives. Can the government pass the test by showing equality for all? In my opinion a government that provides for everyone in their area is the best government possibly. This is because not only are they not favouring groups of people, but they are making it a better place to live in. -Maria]]> 2022-01-05 15:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976722836 Quotation 1 in my opinion best captures how a nation should care for its citizens. This is because it addresses all people of different statuses, and situations whereas the other quotes ignore or don't acknowledge people in difficult situations or of different economic status and or social standings. Furthermore, a moral test of government is definitely how it treats all of its citizens regardless of whether they are needy, sick, handicapped or a successful business person or someone belonging to the middle class. How the government treats the future of its nation (the children) is also important. Its also important for the government to treat the elderly, the people who contributed to the country good as well! - Reena 350262473 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976723504 2022-01-05 15:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976723504 350234688 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725178 I think this quote best captures how a nation should care for its citizens because instead of being specific on what they want the citizens to become, it shows that the government cares about its citizens without focusing on his own views, unlike the two other quotes. - Kevin]]> 2022-01-05 15:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725178 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725207 I think that this quote best captures how a nation should care for its citizens as it is about all the people who live in a country, such as babies, children, old people, etc. It shows that the government knows about all the people of the country and knows to care for them. - Winston]]> 2022-01-05 15:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725207 340939800 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725702 With the stipulation that it is more inclusive (great PEOPLE), I think that this quotation is the best take on what a government should be. Priority should be on the people as well as national issues that we face. The happy and progressive nature of a country are determined by itès government. - Anne]]> 2022-01-05 15:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725702 By: Myer awesomeguard77 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725729 The reason why I chose this quotation is because it clearly outlines how a government should treat its people, regardless of age, ailments or financial situation. The other quotation lacks detail about how to treat their citizens. ]]> 2022-01-05 15:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725729 349943712 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976725759 This sentence shows that a good government should be fair and tolerant to the citizens.

Unlike the other quotes, this one mentions specific groups of people who they can help rather than the general population. -Matthew]]> 2022-01-05 15:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976726031 Phoebe 340851401 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976726616 I think that this quotation best captures how a nation should care for it's citizens because the government should focus more on people who are in need (such as the examples listed).]]> 2022-01-05 15:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976726616 Sydney Jung 350279766 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976726787 I think that this first quotation best captures how a government should address and care for it's citizens. It covers differing groups and represents some of the diversity present in Canada. It is also the most specific to the citizens. ]]> 2022-01-05 15:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976726787 340822576 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976731893 1. How do they atone for their actions in the past? (ex, the act of residential schools, etc.) 
2. What are they doing to improve the future of past minority groups? 
3. What semi-good, to great things has Canada accomplished since 1914? - Justine ]]> 2022-01-05 15:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976731893 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976736534 I want to choose this one because this government cares about all people. A government should build a place where all people want to live. - Jessie]]> 2022-01-05 15:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976736534 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976740450 In my opinion, I believe that quotation one best captures how a nation should treat its citizens. Due to how it is able to mention its concerns for the well-being of specific groups of people within a nation. Unlike the other quotes, it shows more sincerity. -Connie liu

Johnson best captures how the government should see its citizens. Without vagueness, like the other quotations, it specifies each detail specifically such as the children, elderly, and the sick. They all need care, which the government needs to support. - Ryan]]> 2022-01-05 15:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976740467 kelvin YoAmazingDucky169 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976757935 This quote by Lyndon B.

These all matter as a government can help.]]> 2022-01-05 16:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976757935 https://padlet.com/zafirah_damji/iyq0vzdg3onrpsbv/wish/1976762009 For a test of how good a government is, I think it is only necessary to look at how they treat some of the less fortunate in society and whether their policies are for the people. Will the government step in to help when those people are in trouble, and will the government do something practical or is it just boasting? And the above paragraph is exactly in line with my point of view.It's all about making a point to help the underprivileged.

This is because it shows that they will help and care for its citizens no matter what their needs are. They acknowledge that the people who are vulnerable such as children, the elderly, or the sick, deserve more support from the government. This quote also shows that the government's main priority should be its citizens and is willing to provide the best it can, so that the country is well taken care of.
