1. YOU’RE THE VOICE (Performed by John Farnham) Reflection & Discussion

2. BEFORE LISTENING Types of citizens

3. DISENGAGED CITIZENS They do not care about public affairs. For various reasons, they are not interested. They may think that politics is unsexy and boring. Others associate politics, not always, surprisingly, with dirty, corrupted business. Some simply claim they have other more important things to do.

4. ACTIVIST CITIZENS They let the world know who they are, what they believe in, and what they dislike.

5. DISILLUSIONED CITIZEN They have lost their trust in the governmental institutions, the media and the political parties, perhaps just because they have failed to obtain facilities for their daily life such as job, housing, or a valuable education.

6. STAND-BY CITIZEN They are engaged but they do not manifest and show openly their engagement. Nevertheless, they stay alert, keep themselves informed, in order to be prepared and be ready if something would happen that should deserve their active participation.

12. THE CIVIL RIGHTS MARCH: was one of the largest political demostrations for human rights in United States history and called for civil and economic rights for African Americans. It took place in Washington D.C. Thousands of Americans headed to Washington on Tuesday August 27, 1963. On Wednesday, August 28, 1963. Martin Luther King Jr. standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his historic “ I Have A Dream" speech in which he called for an end to racism. The march was organized by a group of civil rights, labor, and religious organizations, under the theme "jobs, and freedom". Estimates of the number of participants varied from 200,000 to 300,000; it is widely accepted that approximately 250,000 people participated in the march. Observers estimated that 75–80% of the marchers were black. The march is credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Act (1964) and preceded the Selma Voting Right Movement which led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act (1965). Source - Wikipedia

13. THE PAINTED FACES: On August 11, 1992, thousands of students organized by the National Student Union (União Nacional dos Estudantes – UNE), protested on the streets against Fernando Collor, accused of corruption. Their faces, often painted in a mixture of the colors of the flag and protest-black, lead to them being called "Caras-pintadas“. Source - WIkipedia

14. THE FALL OF THE WALL: In 1989, a series of radical political changes occurred in the Eastern Bloc, associated with the liberalization of the Eastern Bloc's authoritarian systems and the erosion of political power in the pro-Soviet governments in nearby Poland and Hungary. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on November 9 th, 1989 that all citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, euphoric people and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of what was left. Contrary to popular belief the wall's actual demolition did not begin until the summer of 1990 and was not completed until 1992.The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on 3 October 1990.

15. THE APARTHEID was a system of racial segregation in South Africa enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP), the governing party from 1948 to 1994. Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times and continued when the British took over the Cape of Good Hope in 1795. Apartheid was introduced after the general election of 1948. Legislation classified inhabitants into four racial groups —"black", "white", “coloured", and "Indian". From 1960 to 1983, 3.5 million non-white South Africans were removed from their homes, and forced into segregated neighbourhoods, in one of the largest mass removals in modern history. Non-white political representation was abolished in 1970, and black people were deprived of their citizenship. The government segregated education, medical care, beaches, and other public services, and provided black people with services that were inferior to those of white people. Apartheid reforms in the 1980s failed to quell the mounting opposition, and in 1990 President Frederik Willem de Klerk began negotiations to end Apartheid, culminating in multi-racial democratic elections in 1994.
