Democracy by Ylai

Room 9:
In New Zealand we live in a Democracy. A democracy is a system of government which the people choose their Prime Minister by voting for them in elections.

In a democracy we have certain rights and responsibilities. Some of our rights are : we have the right to have shelter, food, clothing and Water. We have the right to go to school and study.

In New Zealand we have responsibilities. Some responsibilities are : to follow all laws the government makes. We have the responsibility to care for our community.

Also more of our rights and responsibilities are, to pay for our own stuff( eg. House, clothes, food etc.) We have the right to report any abuse or complaint to the government. We also have the right to have our privacy.

In New Zealand we live differently from other countries. We have our laws, rights and responsibiliities. We are responsible of what we act and do. Obeying the rules/laws are one of the reason we are a New Zealand citizen.
