This is a selection of people in history, who have played an important role in the creation and growth of democracy.Democracy means society is governed by the input and sanction of all members of society. Democracy means power does not rest in the hands of a few wealthy and privileged people, but people of all ranks can have a say in the decision-making process.Throughout history, democracy has been an evolution. Early democracies were limited to men, and people of a certain status in society. But, these early democracies were still an important difference to the rule of absolute monarchs, dictators, or oligarchs. Arguably, there are no 'perfect democracies' - But, some societies are more democratic than others.In recent centuries, democracy has also come to include ideas such as liberty and individual freedom - treating everyone in an equal manner. Also given the rise in population size, direct democracy is rarely practiced; instead democracy tends to involve elected representatives.

True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends, writes Gerald Pomper in this original contribution to the literature of U.S. politics. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes by "just doing their jobs" during national crises, he offers a provocative definition of heroism and fresh reasons to respect U.S. institutions and the people who work within them. This new paperback edition includes photographs, an introductory chapter on American heroism after 9/11, a survey of the meanings of heroism in U.S. popular culture, and an original concluding theory of "ordinary" heroism.

BASED ON TRUE EVENTSBOURNE SUPREMACY with a SALT twist. This is a classic HIGH Intensity EPIC action-romance suspense thriller that shows how one man's courage, determination and unbreakable spirit inspired a great nation. It was a time when America needed heroes. While others gave excuses - one man gave everything he had and lost everything to include the love and support of his own family, as duty called him to a higher cause. While developing a plan to protect America, he defies a ruthless Underworld Crime Syndicate to unravel a diabolic plot to cause mass causalities in America. This dangerous spy game attracts plenty of bad guys aimed at eliminating our young hero. It draws together several major world superpowers and their war machines, three determined antagonist, an unyielding protagonist, his fianc�e, a spy's mistress and other supporting characters toward a head-on collision course between forces good and evil. Evil wants control over major oil fields and other resources in Southwest Asia, the Middle East and Central Asia; and good wants to protect his nation. The CARTER DOCTRINE requires the US to protect its interest in the Middle East. There is white-knuckle, nail biting suspense, pulse-pounding thrill and action all throughout our hero's struggle and rise to fame and power. He falls in love with his college sweetheart Angela, and she too must endure the dark shadows of ruthless treachery that confronts him; but their love for each other grows stronger than any force against them, and like a true soldier she stands by her man until the very end, with a climax which leaves you breathlessly cheering for an encore.

Standing Up to the Madness not only is a timely, inspiring, and even revolutionary look at who wields the greatest power in America--everyday people who take a chance and stand up for what they believe in--but also offers advice on what you can do to help. Where are the millions marching in the streets to defend human rights, civil liberties, and racial justice? Where is the mass revulsion against the killing and torture being carried out in our name? Where are the environmentalists? Where is the peace movement? The answer: They are everywhere. The award-winning sister-brother team of Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, and investigative journalist David Goodman traveled the country to detail the ways in which grassroots activists have taken politics out of the hands of politicians. Standing Up to the Madness tells the stories of everyday citizens who have challenged the government and prevailed. As the Bush administration has waged war abroad and at home, it has catalyzed a vast groundswell of political action. From African-American residents of deluged New Orleans who are fighting racism and City Hall to regain their homes; to four Connecticut librarians who refused to spy on their patrons, challenged the USA PATRIOT Act, and won; to a group of high school students who were barred from performing a play they wrote on the Iraq War based on letters from soldiers; to the first U.S. Army officer to publicly refuse orders to deploy to Iraq, charging that his duty as an officer is to refuse to fight in an illegal and immoral war, Standing Up to the Madness profiles citizens rising to extraordinary challenges. And, in the process, they are changing the way that politics is done, both now and in the future. In communities around the United States, courageous individuals have taken leaps of faith to stop the madness. They could only hope that if they led, others would follow. That is how movements are born. What begins as one, eventually becomes many. In that tradition, the authors have included the ways in which any individual can take action and effect change.
