Civics, 1st Period - Thursday 1/5

[imafuturist]

"Good morning, everyone," Steve said with a bright smile, standing at the front of the classroom. "I'm Steve Rogers, and this is Civics class, so hopefully you're in the right place."

"And I'm Tony Stark. Welcome back to those who have previously taken our classes," Tony chimed in. His smile was less sunny by virtue of not being the human equivalent of a golden retriever. "Today we'll be continuing the fine tradition of introductions and testing the waters of what you're all familiar with concerning the subject."

"Civics is an incredibly important subject, not just for high school, but for life," Steve said. "If you aren't familiar with how your government is supposed to work, you won't know when to get angry when it's not. It's essential to know what responsibilities you have for your own democracy, and to remind your elected officials that they answer to you, and not the other way around.

"We will be focusing on the American model of the political system, but if you are from a different country or, uh, world entirely, feel free to share your experiences," Tony added.

And watch your teachers have a melt down during the next year. No reason why. Really.

Steve nodded. "There are lots of different models for government--military dictatorships, totalitarian regimes, monarchies, representational democracies--so why don't we start out easy with your name and what kind of government you have at home."

"And for a bonus, what you believe is one duty of the government for the citizen, is" Tony said.
