[Media Studies & Communication: Week 13, 5th Period]
Monday, April 2nd, 2007 03:46 amThere were handouts for everyone to pick up as they filed in today, the screen tuned to CNN for the current political news but muted.
"Hi girls," Logan greeted, smiling. "We're touching on politics today. I know you're not all from the US, or even the current timeline, but it's still important to be aware, at least, that politicians wherever you're from will probably screw you over," he said ruefully.
"Maybe that's a bit pessimistic, you say?" Logan spread his hands, shrugging. "In my experience, it's become the job of the people to hold the government responsible for things they've done that have been reprehensible, sometimes only just irresponsible to the public they claim to work for. There are some individuals who are all they claim to be, working for the good of the people, but not nearly as many as anyone would like.
"As a part of the public - voting or non-voting - sometimes all you can do is raise awareness, make known what's going on so that people will be informed. Your assignment today is to come up with a way you could do that, either personally or something more general. Big or small."
