McDonald shows that perceptions of compassion in candidates for public office are based on the number and intensity of commonalities that bind citizens to political leaders. Commonalities can come in many forms, such as a shared experience, a shared emotion, or a shared identity. Compassion may be universal, such as when candidates convey empathy to all individuals who are struggling. Or compassion may be exclusionary, such as when candidates express a preference for some groups over others.

"Demokratie darf kein Luxus sein. Sondern Grundlage von allem – in unseren Schulen und in unserer Gesellschaft. Dafür werde ich kämpfen wie eine Löwin." Die Psychologin und Bildungspolitikerin Marina Weisband ist davon überzeugt, dass Demokratie gelernt werden muss. Sie nur zu wollen, reicht definitiv nicht aus. Mit Demokratieförderung kann gar nicht früh genug begonnen werden, deshalb geht Marina Weisband in Schulen und arbeitet in verschiedenen Projekten mit Kindern und Jugendlichen. Denn unsere Schulen sind derzeit nicht gut aufgestellt. Viel zu selten bieten sie Gestaltungsspielraum.

In order to understand today's democracy, we need to start from its earliest beginnings by understanding the works of the ancient philosophers who laid the foundations of democracy from the early days. Even looking at the democracy around the world today, it's clear that there are degrees to which countries choose to adhere or stray from democratic ideals. Understanding where these ideals developed from and the development of democracy over time is essential to determining what endangers these ideals in the present.

A far-reaching cultural transformation is occurring across much of the West that is threatening the very foundations of democracy. Individuals are no longer judged by their deeds, actions, and behavior but rather are defined by their race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Driven largely by the political Left, this transformation has led to the wholesale division of individuals into oppressed and oppressor classes.

In this short treatise, historian Keith Pruitt examines the idea of the United States as a Christian Nation. First, examining the intent of the founding fathers and then their religious beliefs, Pruitt shows that the founders wanted to guarantee religious freedom while refusing to impose a state religion. The current movement of Christian Nationalism is further examined to attempt to determine what it is that these right-wing religious zealots are trying to achieve in this nation.

Thomas Paine was born in Great Britain; he came to America at the age of 37 for the first time. He is rightly considered to be the Anglo-American writer, philosopher, publicist, as well as "American godfather" for supporting separatist spirits and inspiring Americans to fight for their independence (at that very moment, the break between America and England was imminent). He described his thoughts in a wonderful tract Common Sense, that according to G. Washington, revolutionized the minds. Later, Thomas Paine's arguments were reflected in The Independence Declaration, written by Jefferson.

This book is about freedom and the right to have an opinion. A concept that has been fought over for centuries. Whilst we think of Australia as being a free society, You Can't Say That! challenges this notion, arguing that the freedoms all Australians once enjoyed have been systematically eroded over last few decades, and how, as a nation, we must fight to get them back.

The Constitution of the Athenians, also called the Athenian Constitution (Greek: Ἀθηναίων πολιτεία, Athenaion Politeia; Latin: Atheniensium Respublica), is a work by Aristotle or one of his students. The work describes the constitution of Athens. It is preserved on a papyrus roll from Hermopolis, published in 1891 and now in the British Library. A small part of the work also survives on two leaves of a papyrus codex, discovered in the Fayum in 1879 and now in the papyrus collection of the Ägyptisches Museum in Berlin.

Too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to vote. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress's ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted.

Denise Dresser presenta una lectura urgente y necesaria: López Obradorsedujo a millones con su promesa de salvaguardar la democracia y ser un antídoto contra la regresión política y social de México. Hoy la distancia entre aquella esperanza y la realidad es insalvable. AMLO ha erosionado, con palabras y hechos, la institucionalidad deficitaria, reemplazándola con un ejercicio de gobierno centrado sólo en él, rodeado de verde olivo. Por improvisación, por prisa, y por mala administración, heredará bombas de tiempo a su sucesora.

Die aktuellen Ermittlungsverfahren gegen rechtsterroristische Vereinigungen unterstreichen die Gefahren, die von Rechtsextremen in Polizei, Bundeswehr, Justiz und Verfassungsschutz ausgehen. Zuletzt wurde dies in der bundesweiten Razzia gegen mutmaßliche rechtsextreme Umsturzpläne aus dem Milieu von Reichsbürgern und AfD deutlich.

Today, it looks as though we are going to lose our half-ass democracy because the voters in this country are sick and tired for voting for the same old same old time after time. It's every Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dumb, while in the states we are allowed to lower our taxes and legalize marijuana. The people are wondering why we don't do this on the National Elections. The reason we don't is covered in this book as well as complete instructions on how we can start using National Ballot Measures in every federal election and create our own national laws and policies.
