Excerpt from In a Democracy: A Survey of Life in Contemporary Democratic America In a democracy the success of the government and the happiness of the people depend upon each individual's being a thinking citizen, one who is conscious of the things that go on about him. Whether the United States, our state, or our community will be a good place in which to live will depend upon the sum of the attitudes that we as citizens have. If we think straight and support those things that are the best for all of us, we will have the type of country that we all want. In a book such as this it is impossible to discuss all, or even a small part, of the problems that one faces as a citizen. We have tried to tell you some of the things that have aided in the development of our country; we have explained a few of the larger problems and told of the attempt that has been made to solve them; and we have pointed out some of the problems that you will face as an individual. The outlines of your local, state, and national governments are essential for you to know. If, after you read and discuss this book, you have a better appreciation of and a deeper love for the demo cratic way of government and a sincere patriotism for this country of ours, then this book will have achieved its purpose.
