Democracy or Dictator ship ?

[Sithara007]

I stand for the democratic way of the country's development. However, if someone likes to live under the leadership of a dictator and their life suits, then why not?

For certain group of people, dictatorships suit more than democracy. Even in my country, I hope that a dictatorship replaces the democratic government in the future. Here the democracy is a farce. Those who increase their population always get the power and the smaller ethnic and racial groups remain powerless. And no one cares about the 2% of the population which actually pays income tax. All the politicians are only bothered about the remaining 98%, who never pay any taxes.

If we look at the history some countries got maximum development in Dictator ship while some got maximum development in democratic government. Every system has it's own flaws and benefits. What do you like ? if we talk about the welfare of general people.

As long as it will help the country it won't matter what kind of leadership it will be.  The people and country matters the most don't you think.  It feels like those with dictatorship are countries who are more successful.  However,  there were no perfect system. It still has to do with the leader.

Democracy also has a lot of disadvantages but they all fade away comparing to the greatest thing democracy brings - freedom.

Democracy doesn't bring freedom. Especially if you're in the minority.

Agree with that, recent conflicts around the world and specially in the EU confirm it

Democracy gives rights to people, democracy gives a sense of freedom but in today's time when the world is being pushed over to darkness, Democracy is not what it should have been. Democracy is still being in power many don't get equal rights compared to some people. I think if this continues the day would be close when there would be no difference between democracy and dictatorship. Hope that day doesn't come.

Democracy gives rights to people...

What? Are you trying to say that no matter who lives where, it is a democratic form of Government?

Siberia is a large country. It is something like two fifths again larger than the United States. Yet only about 13 or 14 million people live there, while about 330 million live in the States.

So, if you go to the Siberian wilds, all by yourself, and live off the land, hunting and "farming" as you want, that's a democracy? Are your rights something given to you by your democracy?

People have rights inherent in themselves. No democracy ever gives them rights.

I always found it weird that people insisted that humans had "human rights". Go ask a tornado if it cares about your rights and see how that works out. Human rights are just a made up concept created by humans. So yes, you can give yourself arbitrary rights if you're out in the wild on your own. It won't really mean anything though. Just like your rights won't mean anything if you mess with the wrong person.

It's about the motive of the ruler.
And Dictatorship or democracy is just a disguise.
No one can run a country without popular support from its citizens.
The parliamentary democratic system is so corrupt that no good person can rise to the top.

Democracy.because everyone has the right to speak and express there self you have freedom to do things you want as long you obey the law.while dictatorship has one ruller one policy.whatever the leaders said you have to follow...saw for me I go for democracy because thats my country is.

I think China is good example Dictatorship with the certain degree of democracy we should find a way in other countries let's combine these two things to get the best solution for everyone.

The fact is that China has a very complicated system of governing the country, Who we are already leading there in the same Communist Party. But why not call such countries as Russia or North Korea, as well as Iran, which can really be countries under the dictator's yoke.

need just 51% of the votes for a win..

Never the less it's still a win..DEMOCRACY..

Sometimes, it needs 30% or less votes to win an election (if the fight is triangular or quadrangular). The problem with this system is that a particular ethnic or religious group with 30% or 35% of the population can win the election with their demographic power, and then sideline the other groups. This is exactly how the problems started in multi-ethnic countries such as Sri Lanka (majority Sinhalese vs minority Tamils), Malaysia (Malays vs Chinese), and Afghanistan (Pashtuns vs Tajiks).

Just like what happened here in the Philippines. Duterte won with just 38% of the votes. And then his fanatics would scratch their heads and go "but WE the majority voted for him, stop being sore losers".   

There really need to a better system for voting where people get represented regardless of their background and that majority of the voters actually liked who gets into office.

Previously, most of the people were illiterate or unskilled, thus dictatorship worked at that time. But today since more and more people are aware of their rights and there responsibilities, for today's world, democracy is the best option.

People aren't aware of anything, even today. Sure they can read and write, but they're just as ignorant as ever. University degrees are completely worthless these days too, because they get thrown around so easily that anybody can get one without having any real skills.. That's also why full democracy is terrible, because people don't know what they are doing and don't understand anything that is happening in the world. But thankfully, votes don't matter and people don't even get to vote on anything substantial. So democracy doesn't really exist, but allowing people to choose a "leader" at least gives them a fake sense of "freedom", so they pacified.

dictatorship because in dictatorship corruption come to very low level,law become strong while in democracy corruption become,separate laws for separate people its mean that for poor people have other law and for rich people have other law.in democracy rich become rich and poor becomes poor

[usorin]

Definitely democracy. It is true that corruption is present all around no matter the guvernamental program. The difference between dictatorship and democracy is that in democracy at least you can protest and scream out your opinion.

At least in theory. In reality we can look at recent events in Spain for example.

Where do you live? What you describe usually happens in developing nations (we dont need to talk about the 3rd world) and in certain industry nations - actually only in the USA.
The difference of education in the USA depending on institution is like day a night (compare ivy league vs state schools full of blacks and mexicans). Such a difference doesnt exist in any other industry nation.
(This is actually one of the main reasons silicon valley wants people from outside - avg american is just too stupid/uneducated)

I can promise you that you can get a job everywhere with a west/north european university degree (STEM).
Additionaly it cost way too much to study in the US (above avg. College)

I'm not saying that degrees don't help you gets jobs - they do. But they teach you nothing, waste everyone's time, and create a bunch of clueless kids with degrees instead of highly competend and self-sufficient professionals. And yes, I agree that US colleges cost way too much. I wouldn't even waste my time going to university without a full scholarship in the US.
