Understanding Business and Personal Law

Chapter 9: Legality

Service Learning

Politically Correct
Do you ever find yourself complaining about school lunches, school rules, or just school in general? Many students complain, but only a few get involved to try and fix the problems. Are you a member of the Student Council? Are you a class representative? As citizens, we complain as well. We don’t like the roads, the taxes, or some of the laws. By becoming involved in politics, we can make a difference.

Activity: If you are not a member of Student Council, how can you help fix a school problem? If you are not involved in a political campaign, what can you do about something you don’t agree with in your community? Discuss these questions with a partner.
