Theme D: Democracy in Action
Democracy isn't just about voting every few years - it's about actively participating in society. You can play a political role, join pressure groups, or use digital democracy tools to make your voice heard. Trade unions represent workers' interests, showing how people organise to create change.
The media plays a massive role in democracy by informing the public and scrutinising those in power. Free press is essential, but media outlets must balance being informative with being responsible. They investigate issues, influence public opinion, and work with pressure groups to highlight important causes.
Internationally, the UK participates in organisations like the European Union, Commonwealth, United Nations, NATO, and World Trade Organization. Each has different purposes - from trade and security to human rights and international justice.
