The world is not always fair. Things that are completely out of your control can happen to you at any time, leaving you in financial struggle. But what is a society but an attempt to work together so that we can all live a life which is a little fairer. Democracy gives us the ability for our voices to be heard no matter who we are. Regardless of your financial background if you are smart enough you will get a scholarship so that those who would excel in an area of study can do so and improve society.
