COMMON GOOD? In our democracy, all citizens need to work together
to do good things for the whole community. 6. For example, people
pay taxes so everyone can go to schools, so everyone can be
protected by fire fighters, and so everyone can enjoy parks and
public pools. 7. At school, you have rules that protect everyone,
like returning books to thelibrary, and no throwing food atlunch.We
all do many things each day to help others. 8. Take a look at this
example The Flamingo family loves to take bubble baths in the
river. They do not know that their soap is making the water dirty
for others who must drink it. 9. The Frogs and Beavers need to
drink the water from the river. They ask forhelp from the
government. 10. The man from the government talks to the Flamingoes
