Types of Government:

Direct Democracy: Summary: In Direct Democracy everyone has an equal voice to all the choices that are made in that place. Strength: Your ideas are used, and you have a choice to change something, Weakness: It is hard to make one whole decision.

Theocracy: Summary: A form of governemnt in which God is the ruler of the country. Strength: The citizens of the country dont have to make the laws of government. Weakness: The country isn't an actually form of government, more of a religion,

Representative Democracy: Summary: Is when people vote on other people that wants to make the law for the country. Strength: There are different opinions that are heard and can be voted on. Weakness: Not everyone will agree on a law.

Single- Party State: Summary: Under a rule of a dictator, and people have no voice. Strength: Everyone goes under one rule. Weakness: No one can compaign or run candidates for election.

- I think the best type of government is Representative Democracy, because everyone has a say in what goes and it is organized into all ideas that everyone can vote on.

If I were to do something to stop these crimes that take place in Malden, I would call the Malden Police station and ask them where crimes are most happening, and make a group of people be aware to where all of this all happens, and then if someone sees a crime taking place they will be able to report it much faster.

I think the issues that we should consider is the cleaness of our neighborhoods. I think that a cleaner town is a more appealing town and the more appealing a town looks then the more people would like to come to our town. I think also joining clubs would be better, and it would be a better way to meet new people. - School Budget - Paying Attention - Dropouts - Bullying - Teen Pregnancy - Bad Grades - Domestic Violence - Vandalism - Violence- Fist fights, arguements, throwing things. - I.D theft- Stealing items - Homework - Discrimination - Stealing- breaking into lockers, and taking personal items. - Class Disruptions - Drugs - Student Involement - Racism - School Activities - Clubs - Joining groups/ sports - Keeping school clean- throwing things away. - Racism - Salads - Revenue - Air Pollution

Stealing could be decreased in this school by awaring students that they need to keep locker combos to themselves, and that they need to have a lock for their lockers because things will get stolen, I also think we should stress that even students who take gym should have a seperate locker so that way nothing would be taken from any of the lockers they had been taken up.

Every person who has a locker and uses it in this school, has a lock on their locker. People will feel better about leaving things in their locker. Others will not have the motivation to steal from others because if there were more locks set up they would have more of a harder time opening the lock, and if a person came by, they owuld see it. Influence people to take pride in what they have Hallway patrols Build more trust Set examples to stop the cycle of theft Awareness to lock stuff up Get better and stronger locks Awareness of bad thing to steal Giving punishment to if you steal Education/Awareness to it.

There were 979 thefts in Malden in 2006. 100 or so were from motor vehicles. I think that to prevent these statistics from being so high we need to raise awareness and stress people to not be so naive and take their property serious. All Malden High students should lock everything valuable. Never leave anything unattended.
