Lesson 4: Practicing Active Citizenship
These days it's hard to turn on the television, read a magazine, or listen to the radio without hearing stories about war, crime, poverty, and other serious problems.
Fortunately, not all the news is bad news. In those same newspapers and on those same broadcasts we learn about people who are striving to make the world a better place. These people campaign for equal rights for minorities; they seek better living conditions for the poor and the homeless; they protest the exploitation of child workers in factories—the list goes on.
In this lesson, you will meet some of these heroes. These people are making a positive difference in their world and are an inspiration to others—hopefully including you!
