A gateway to understanding your country better
Democracy is a form of governance, which has been poetically referred to as a government for the people, of the people and by the people. That means that the people of a democratic country have the power to make decisions for themselves and their country. They have a chance to influence and shape their nations today and tomorrow. This in itself is a huge responsibility; a responsibility so big that every decision should be taken with a lot of consideration and deliberation. But are the people of today’s America ready to shoulder this kind of duty? In this modern day world, one doesn’t seem to have time to give a thought to what is happening in their family member’s life, so where will they find time to think about the country. A simple survey would reveal that almost 3/4th of us have no clue as to what is happening in our government. But then one valid question would be where can we find such information that will help us become more responsible citizens. The various media channels always seem to be giving only a lop-sided perspective. What we need is an unbiased and factual view into the politics of our country and the events of our government. That is where I think a site like www.StateDemocracy.com comes in. It provides us a gateway to understand our country better. Along with information about the legislations and laws being made in this country, it gives us a chance to participate and interact with our elected representatives and various issue groups. It at least makes an attempt to ensure that information is available to us whenever we need it and that I think is the biggest feature of a website like this.

A Place on the Team: The Triumph and Tragedy of Title IX
A Place on the Team: The Triumph and Tragedy of Title IX Welch Suggs http://www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/7930.html "Finally, a lucid, thorough and non-polemical accounting of Title IX's origins, development, and impact. Welch Suggs traces the women's sports revolution back to its roots in physical education, details Title IX's origins in civil rights law, and explains why the law has proven to be so resistant to legal challenge. He doesn't flinch from taking stock of the law's regrettable consequences. All future discussion of college sports and gender equity will begin with this book." --Alexander Wolff, Sports Illustrated A Place on the Team is the inside story of how Title IX revolutionized American sports. The federal law guaranteeing women's rights in education, Title IX opened gymnasiums and playing fields to millions of young women previously locked out. Journalist Welch Suggs chronicles both the law's successes and failures-the exciting opportunities for women as well as the commercial and recruiting pressures of modern-day athletics.

In 2003, AAUW launched the Leadership and Training Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization within the association, to increase its commitment to these issues. Through institute programs, women and girls acquire the skills they need to succeed and assume leadership roles in their academic, professional, and personal lives. AAUW's institute now directs the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders, an event that grows in depth and popularity each year. Beyond this college-aged program, the institute will develop a breadth of programs addressing women in all stages of life. What does AAUW's Leadership Training Institute provide? The institute will provide multiyear programs with an educational focus on leadership growth, career advancement, economic self-sufficiency, and technical skills; educational resources; and national models. The institute will implement conferences, workshops, seminars, and courses; enhance the ability of women and girls to make a difference in their lives; and expand institutions' and neighborhoods' ability to make a difference in the lives of those who study, teach, work, and live in their communities. The institute will focus on three main program areas. The financial literacy program helps women and girls become economically self-sufficient and financially savvy. The program addresses an intergenerational audience of girls in grades K-12, young women in colleges and universities, and adult women. K-12 girls will learn to work with and enjoy finance. Young college women will receive personal and professional guidance to increase their financial know-how and prevent high debt. Finally, adult women will become more skilled and competitive in finance-specific careers. Activities initially will occur in the Washington, D.C., area and then be replicated in AAUW branches and local schools nationwide. The institute's leadership literacy program supports the annual National Conference for College Women Student Leaders. Designed for college and university women in campus or community leadership roles-and those who have leadership aspirations-the conference offers students an opportunity to gather the information, skills, and resources needed to embrace today's leadership challenges. Students nationwide interact with top women in the fields of leadership, finance, and technology; hone skills in leadership, advocacy, civic engagement, networking, and career planning; build relationships with peers and other women who can support their professional and personal growth; and create practical solutions to challenges on their campuses and in their communities. Additional programming will be developed for adult women. Through its technology literacy project, the institute is developing a national model program for girls and women to promote a highly skilled, motivated, and diverse workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the pilot phase, the project links high school students with college and university faculty and students, career experts, and community leaders. This interdisciplinary program will offer technology-based learning opportunities based on societal concerns and scientific inquiry. To empower participants to take leadership roles in their schools, communities, and careers, the project integrates educational and career guidance, role models, mentoring, and community service.

An innovative method for rallying support
The homepage of www.WebLobbying.com proclaims it as ‘The online voice of the people of the US’ and this I think is a very strong statement to make. It is this statement that got me curious about this website. Now days, you will find that there is no dearth of sites where you can voice your feelings. From general blogging websites to specific issue based websites, you can express yourself everywhere. This seemed to be another such website until I started reading some of the lobbies that were put up. The more I read, the more interested I became. Firstly, I must congratulate the people behind this website for the range of topics it covers, from science to politics, history to law; there is something in it to interest people from all backgrounds. Some of the lobbies seemed very important and I immediately found myself ‘taking action’ as they aptly worded it in the website. It was then that I realized there are so many things and issues we are ignorant about. It felt nice to know that apart from just reading up on various issues that need immediate attention; you can also participate in your own way in taking action. Each time you click the ‘take action’ button, an email is sent to the people who have the key to resolving that issue. This I felt was one instance where technology is being put to proper use. Apart from the fact that I could take action, I also found this website very user friendly where in you can first acquaint yourself with the website through a simple demo video. This is very useful for first time users who don’t have a clue as to what they are looking for and don’t know how to go about understanding the website. The website is also clean without too much clutter and hence the main parts – the various lobbies, in this case- get the attention they deserve.

The Association of Albanian Girls and Women was founded in 2002 by Amy Sebes at the main trafficking shelter in Tirana.
