Respond to the following Statement:
It is imperative that citizens of the United States -- the most powerful "democracy" in the world -- take seriously the responsibility of becoming "informed citizens". There is a big difference between being "spectators" &"consumers" in a democracy, and being "informed participants." If so many American citizens continue to be spectators & consumers, rather than informed participants, one may ask: "How "democratic" is the United States? And what does this mean for the future of our country, and for the rest of the world?"
