Orphan date June 2008 Image Walkingman.gif thumb the greenwalking The Greenwalking Zh t l countdown timer monitor of passers and vehicles is traffic light s known in Taiwan as Xiaoluren , Little Green man , is an innovative animated pedestrian crosswalk signal designed in Taiwan. This innovative device first appeared in Taipei City , between Song shou road and Shi fu road in March 18, 1999, ref Liberty Times. ref and was spread from the capital Taipei City to Taipei County, Taoyuan County and Hsinchu until it was utilized around the whole country within few years. The image of a little greenish man with a hat first appeared in East Berlin in 1961, and was named Ampelm nnchen , but was motionless then. Urban Legend There are a number of urban legends associated with the Greenwalking in Taiwan. The most popular version is that the Little Green man would fall down every 20,000 steps, ref News ref or when the traffic gets too busy. Another story is that the Green man would turn sideways or walk upside down from time to time to fool the pedestrians. As ridiculous as these stories may seem, many college students are fascinated by the funny stories. Many students have proclaimed on the local Bulletin Board System BBS that they have spent hours waiting to witness those actions, but none of these proclamations have been verified. Animation Technique The animation is created from seven different pictures of a man s walking poses, using the Photogene Effect of human vision to make the viewers see him as walking and running. Controversy The appearance of this animated image aroused much controversy over its design patent. While Taiwan s Ministry of Communication proclaimed that the device is an aggregative creation, and thus should be a public property, the CEO of Kang Shen Technology Company argued that the company had applied for a patent for the design early in 1995, but was rejected by the government for its lack of progressiveness.

For Democracy disambiguation Democratic Party disambiguation pp move small yes Image Election MG 3455.JPG thumb right 250px A woman casts her vote in the second round of the French presidential election of 2007. Forms of government Democracy expert subject date December 2011 Democracy is an egalitarian form of government in which all the citizens of a nation together determine public policy , the laws and the actions of their state, requiring that all citizens meeting certain qualifications have an equal opportunity to express their opinion. In practise, democracy is the extent to which a given system approximates this ideal, and a given political system is referred to as a democracy if it allows a certain approximation to ideal democracy. Although no country has ever granted all its citizens i.e. including minors the vote, most countries today hold regular elections based on egalitarian principles, at least in theory. The most common system that is deemed democratic in the modern world is parliamentary democracy in which the voting public takes part in election s and chooses politicians to represent them in a Legislature Legislative Assembly . The members of the assembly then make decisions with a majority vote. A purer form is direct democracy in which the voting public makes direct decisions or participates directly in the political process. Elements of direct democracy exist on a local level and on exceptions on national level in many countries, though these systems coexist with representative assemblies.
