Representation

Representation:

One member of society is elected by a group of citizens who think that this person will best represent them.

The person chosen should listen to peoples opinions and ideas, than he/she will bring those opinions and ideas to debates,negotiations, e.t.c. in the provintial Legislature or the federal House of Commons.

Freedoms

• A freedom is a right. Canadian citizens have many freedoms.
• Different countries with different laws, and rights have different freedoms.
• In Canada some freedoms are: Freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, e.t.c.
• Everyone wants to be free and act as they wish. If you want to eat you may buy or make yourself something to eat, if you want to go to the mall you have the freedom to do so.
• People in prison lose freedoms.

Freedoms

Equity

Equity

The word equity may sound like equality, but they aren't the same. Equality is where everyone get's the same things.

Equity is where everyone get's the same, but commendations are made for people, such as lower entry prices for children and sinors, wheelchair access, This is one of democracy's values.

Justice

Justice

Justice is where all citizens from any race, group, religion, etc., will be treated fairly and equally. It also means people will get punished for their wrongdoings. Punishment in Canada may include imprisonment, public service, house arrest, and fines.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Without the four pillars of democracy, we would live in a poorly organized, unstable society. The four pillars of our democracy, Freedom, Representation, Equity, and Justice (FREJ), are the backbone of our Canadian society and cannot be taken for granted.
