1. What is the most logical form of government for you? Give example and explain it.

In my opinion, the most logical form of government is democratic. Democracy is a form

of government in which the people exercise the authority of government. The people have
the privilege to vote and to give opinion on political issues. It allows the people to have the
freedom of speech which is to me, very important in a country. Democracy gives people a
chance to become personally involved with their government.

2. Why are citizenship and governance factors in developing politics? Give example
and explain it.

Politics involves making decisions that apply to groups of members. It refers to achieving
and exercising positions of governance and organized control over a human community,
particularly a state. Citizenship and governance are factors in developing politics because it
greatly affects how people within a country perceives issues and go about things. Citizenship
allows you to understand, honor, and respect what kind of government a country has.
Governance is control over citizens within a country.
 3. Do you think the idea of “classless society” is applicable in your society where you
belong? Give example and explain it.

The idea of a “classless society” in the Philippines is non-existent. Social class refers to a
group of people with similar levels of wealth, influence, and status. In my opinion, a classless
society is not applicable because it is already practiced in our country. The advantage of social
classes is that it provides us a way to measure our success and create milestones for us. However,
the disadvantage is that we ignore the fact that roles are more important than classes. We tend to
overlook that a person's ability to get the job done is more relevant than his social class. Sadly,
that is the society we live in today.
