Democracy or Dictator ship ?

[BADecker]

The United States is NOT a democracy, yet. Rather, it is a common law country with a democratic government. When the people use common law with each other, even in court battles, Government is hands off, by law, in America.

Here in our country democracy is the policy of the government , it is important for the people to say or express their own feelings. Democracy here in country starts when the spaniards is defeated by the americans , and when the japanese army is defeated also by the americans. But democracy has its own flaws like dictatorship.

dictatorship is a "negative word", always
democracy is a "positive word", always
But reality said that sometime in real life dictatorship with right amount (20% maybe) is always better than full democracy (stupid people that don't even know what they talk of, they have the right to vote?)

[Sithara007]

Not "always". There are a few examples of good dictatorships out there, which did more good than harm to the people. On the other hand, there are hundreds of examples of failed democracies (Pakistan, Yemen.etc). It matters who is heading the government and which policies they are following. The type of government doesn't matter much.

Democracy gives chance of change. Under a dictatorship there is no room for change, people have no rights to fight for. Under a dictatorship there is no hope nor strength to fight against the oppression. A Democracy gives the people change to overthrow or impeach any legal power on the government. In democracy we actually have a chance to speak up, so we can all agree on something.

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.

I would choose democracy because we can exercise rights and freedoms but would it really matter if we are in a democracy or under a dictatorial leader. I think what matter most is how we are being governed by a leader wether if we are in democracy or dictatorship.

Dictatorship, because this speeds up the process especially in building infrastructure and economic policies. Downside is abuse of power.

[deean_3one]

Every government system has its own flaws and advantages. But if told to choose between democracy and dictators I prefer democracy. The democratic system gives people the right to argue. It can not be found in a dictatorial country.

[Sexie]

Dictatorship maybe good to discipline people from doing things against the law, those who are abusive to the law .

If we will be talking about the welfare of the people, I will go with democracy. This is a type of government wherein it is run by the people and for the people. But for this type is often abused and taken for granted by also the people. But still, democracy is the best type of government.

[mikel00]

in my opinion is democracy is for better give chance to other voter or decide what ever they want

[iyah09]

i think democracy is far better than dictator ship because democracy everyone have the rights majority wins

[tuvic]

A lot has been said about this topic already, dictatorship always come with many flaws and unrest in the community though it has to be said also that there are some social development attributed to dictatorship too but if we are to consider the wellbeing of the masses then we should always advocate for democracy because with democracy the masses has a say in the society and have the opportunity to choose their kind of leader

[diegz]

It has nothing to do with the government system. It's all about the leadership. If the government has democracy and yet the leader is corrupt, nothing will happen, it would just end up in people exercising their rights and ousting the leader, but the bad side of this is that this people can be used by some crooks to push thru their agenda.

While in dictatorship sometimes the leader is too harsh, making himself more like a king. The result of this depends on the leader too, if they are corrupt then their  citizens would suffer, but when the ruler is good, then  no one would even think that they havea dictatorial government.

I still prefer democracy over dictatorship. It is true that in dictatorship, peace and order is definite since people only follow one leader, they only listen to one. Still, that doesn't give enough freedom and allowing me to express myself freely. On the other hand, democracy just needs discipline in order for it to be effective in a certain country.

The difference between democracy and dictatorship is that in democracy you first vote and then take orders. In dictatorship, do not waste your time voting.

[-Redacted-]

I choose Democracy because there is an indispensable part of democracy is majority rule, which is carried out by voting. However, unrestricted majority rule poses a threat to the liberty of a population's minority members. All modern democracies operate within a framework of laws that restrict majority rule by guaranteeing all citizens the same rights.

In my opinion, some sort of porridge. contradiction with one statement of another

democray,,we are free what we like to express to government,not like the dictator government ony one person have the power to decide,thats not fair.

Democracy

[Vivimubarak]

I choose democracy, because democracy provides an opportunity for everyone to be able to lead the country based on election results.  Unlike With democracy, monarchy government  power transition based on the descendants of the leader alone, In this case, the prince will inherit the throne of the king
