The German Green Party
History
The
German Green Party is a political party in Germany. The party was established
in Germany on January 13, 1980. The
party is opposition to pollution, use of nuclear power, NATO military action,
and certain aspects of industrialized society were principle campaign issues.
The Green party originated from conservatives and from civil initiatives. Some of the important individuals that helped
launch the Greens were Petra Kelly, Lukas Beckmann, Rudolf Bahro, Joseph Beuys,
Antje Vollmer and several others. This
congress laid their ideological foundations proclaiming the famous Four Pillars
of the Green Party.
Four Pillars
The Four Pillars of the Green Party
are social justice, ecological wisdom, grassroots democracy, and Nonviolence. Social justice is justice exercised within a
society, particularly as it is exercised by and among the various social
classes of that society. Definition from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice).
Grassroots democracy is a tendency towards designing political processes where
as much decision-making authority as practical is shifted to the organization's
lowest geographic level of organization: principle of subsidiarity. Definition
from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroots_democracy). Nonviolence has two
(closely related) meanings: (1) It can refer, first, to a general philosophy of
abstention from violence because of moral or religious principle (e.g.
"She believes in nonviolence."), or (2) it can refer to the behavior
of people using nonviolent action. Definition from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolence).
These four aspects create a political party that some individuals can relate
to.
Group Interaction
Our
group interacted well with each other. Our group had one meeting to discuss the
topic but not all of our members made it. We discussed what needed to be
accomplished and did it in a timely manner. I feel everyone in the group did
their part of the project well with no conflict.
My opinion about the Green Party.
I think
that the Green party has its place in government. The party is a conservative
based political group that is for green power. They are for wind and solar
power and that is one of the reasons I believe in this party. They are for
peace and are against nuclear weapons. They are for social just no matter what
type of social class the individual is in. This party is conservative which as
we all know can be good and bad.
