At the beginning of this process, I was more of a sheep. I had wanted to become involved, but the society had actually had a bit of a tyrant rule, so I had sat aside until that had passed. After a while the tyrant rulers were still persevering, so I had decided to step in anyway. Ultimately, I had decided to step in, and share my opinions because I was sick and tired of seeing people who were not being heard. People were practically bullying within our anti-bullying society (how ironic)!!

At the time of the demise of our society, I had became a much more active citizen. Although I did not have a governmental role in our society, I had began speaking up more, and I personally felt as though I was playing a bigger role. I was almost like the "representative from the other side of the room" (if that were a thing). I think I became that because I often times shared the brilliant ideas from people on the "other side of the room" (the side opposite of the "government"). By the end of this process, I had became much more involved and I had significantly changed from the sheep that I started as.
To show my involvement, I created a video (with the help of Lauren and Kyah) to help promote the end of bullying, and as a way to spread awareness to other societies. This video shows my understanding of my societies goal because I made it to share our ideas, and proves that we are fighting to end bullying. This shows my understanding of citizenship because it shows that I understand that in order to make a difference, I will have to put forth effort, and I will have to try to empower change. As I grow older, I would hope to be an active citizen. Although, I have learned that it can be difficult to do this. I will have to participate actively, and vote using logic, not just following other peoples opinions. I would like to do this because it will allow me to make a change in my community, and help shape the world.

Stop and spread the awareness of bullying.At the beginning of this school year (2013-2014), my LA class was tasked to create a society focused around something we thought needed to change. Our class chose bullying. Determined to stop bullying, we devised "law" systems and generated ideas to aid us. To find out more, click either one of the following links (or both!). |
