Discussion Topic Using your voice to address those in positions of power—from school officials to
government leaders—is an important part of being a citizen. Using that voice effectively
is a skill. Luckily, our history offers us outside examples of master communicators,
and you will learn from them in this unit. Think about times you've spoken to an
authority figure about a change you want to see.

If I were to be a social reformer I would try to improve the status and life in a family. Women would work outside the home only if, either there would be dire need for money to keep body and soul together, or they would be having no responsibilities of elders or children at home. In

this scenario, the home would once again become the haven it used to be. Every member getting his/her due love, care and respect.

Another change I would like to introduce as a social reformer would be to infuse religion in every life. These days of completely materialistic attitudes and material gains, people seem to have lost sight of the God outside and within. The technological outlook of man seems to feel no need to see God nor to believe that HE exists. It is this attitude of people in general that I would like to see changing. The simple reasoning that God is the Creator does not at all find place in the minds of people to-day. I would organize debates and conferences in which the undisputed power and the existence of the creator would be highlighted. How can God ever be exiled from the lives of men, and their social beings. This is exactly what is happening and the degradation is there for all of us to see.
