Trying to educate myself by reading some source documents about our fine (and fucked) democracy. The fucked-ness is short-term — designers have much power to shape the environment. Our work can inspire positivity, compassion and social change.
This exercise presents an important historic document in it's unedited form, but with highlighted summaries to give you the gist.
It's a starting point for more. What do you think?
Sickens me there are those who'd want to throw this document of documents out the window to start over when there's nothing wrong with our democratic republic, except for the people running it.
Education is the best way to improve a democracy, and we as designers are in a good position to improve the public's awareness.
