Wall+Two+Reflection+Two

Alexis de Tocqueville as well as many other leaders and writes have created strong opinions about democracy in America. Alexis de Tocqueville doesn't hate democracy. Reading his work, //Democracy in America,// I was able to understand his reasoning being why democracy and equality doesn't work, and that if America tried to pursue equality the things that our founding fathers fought for and established will all be lost. Other leaders feel that democracy doesn't work. Although our founding fathers have founded us all equal liberties and rights, too what extent are they used by people, and not abused by the government. The one question that stays on my mind and the mind of others is what use it have freedom of speech, if the people elected in higher positions don't listen or try to make a change for the better. The school system as well as the economy of America has failed. In order to live in a flourishing democracy we need to start from the bottom and make change. We can't be afraid to speak up and act out, it's the only way to be heard.
