Student Resource Many of the rules set by City bylaws affect young people directly. Eva gets upset when she sees people drop garbage on the street, but she doesn’t feel comfortable saying anything to them. She doesn’t know that she can call bylaw enforcement to make a complaint. However, even though Eva is not old enough to vote and does not own property or a business, she volunteers every year with her community’s litter and graffiti vandalism cleanup events. How much responsibility do you think young people have to get involved with local government even though they are not old enough to vote Why 146 Make A Better City
Student Resource Finding Common Ground explore and research When people work and live together, they can have different perspectives that affect their behaviours and actions. These differences can also affect the quality of life of everyone in the city. However, when people make an effort to follow rules and standards that they have agreed upon and practise good citizenship, the residents and local government of a city can solve most problems, concerns and issues together. set the context decide and take action What do you think it means to practise good citizenship Problem solving is one of the strategies that both individuals and local government can use to solve problems and deal with concerns. A problem solving strategy, such as the one below, can help you work effectively with others and respect their points of view. Solving Problems 1. Identify the problem. Share what you think the problem is. Work together to solve it. For example, make a list of three things each of you would be willing to do to improve or solve the problem. 2. Talk through the problem. Use “I” instead of “you.” Name calling usually begins with the word “you.” Use “I” statements that talk about what you want, need or feel. “I want to say what I think,” works better than “You don’t let me say anything.” Say what you mean. What needs changing How will you change it Be clear in your choice of words. 3. Try to understand other people’s point of view. The best way to do this is to ask questions about what other people want, need or feel. Don’t speak for other people. Listen to what they have to say. Repeat or write down the other point of view before you express your own opinion. 4. Put it on paper. When you write things down, you can make your ideas clear. This helps you focus on the problem. Use your imagination. There are many different ways that a problem can be solved. Brainstorm solutions with other people. Looks Like... Sounds Like... Feels Like... Use the storyboard to show what one of these problem solving steps looks like, sounds like and feels like. Make A Better City 147
