Do you vote? Why or why not? How
important do you think your participation in
the democratic process really is? That is, can
one citizen make a difference? If you answer
yes, do you find the theories presented in this

answer no, can you find an explanation for
that response in the theories discussed here?
Are there forms of political participation that
do not involve traditional activities like
voting or political party activities that you do
engage in? What are they? Why do you
choose these over more traditional forms of
activity?
