Is democracy always necessary ?

[thrylos]

Yes, everyone is created by God with freedom and democracy is a product of freedom if it is taken away from us even in just a single moment that's an act of unfaithfulness..

Democracy has it own good and bad sides. At the good side is the freedom to do alot and at the bad side the problem of abuse of the freedom. we tend to misbehave just to prove that we are under democratic regime and this can cause things to be out of place. we fall laws in the name of democracy and so we could be democratically also punished for breaking the laws.

It's a good thing on the surface as it gives the majority a voice and representation. A Democratic Republic is better however because it not only gives a voice to the majority, but also gives a voice to the minority.

Democracy is not perfect, but nothing better has yet been invented. All other methods of political rule led to even more disastrous results. Will there ever be a better system? Definitely. When you change the people themselves. No change in the best side of human psychology no positive changes in forms of government impossible.

That is not always the case. I am living in India, and in many of the states the voice of the minority is suppressed as a result of the combined voting strength of the majority. For example, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the Muslims are using their population power to completely sideline the minority Hindu and Buddhist populations. The same thing is happening in the Christian majority states, such as Kerala, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya.

We all know that democracy means rule of the people. However, If a decision is adopted by the majority, It doesn't mean that It's totally true. Especially If the majority haven't good education level. In this case, should we consider that democracy Is dangerous for the global interest of the people ? What should we do in such cases
I hope you get my point

You are right about education level of society. Education is related with democracy. Democracy may be a kind of dictatorship if people in society are not well educated. Politicians may use democracy for their own benefits. It is a little bit dangerous.

[aleenoe335]

Because (system) democracy allows the involvement of every citizen of a country.
Translation: In Wikipedia it is stated that "Democracy is a form of government in which all citizens have equal rights in decision-making that can change their lives Democracy allows citizens to participate-either directly or through representation-in the formulation, development and law-making. "
Medium State is "a group of people who occupy a certain territory and organized by the government of a legitimate state, which generally has sovereignty".
So, why is democracy important to a country?

[Chint_82]

democracy is a sign of the aspirations of the people, if there is a situation in which democracy is controlled by the majority, then as a good people we wajid admonish or even straighten it out, but most of the crowd are afraid to voice their aspirations, then let us try the democratic well, help others do not even evil people

This is always true because the number of well educated and smart people will always be smaller than those uneducated and dumb and all of them have the right to an equal vote.
How can a vote of a university professor who is an expert in the field be equal to a vote of a moron with an IQ of 60 and completely no education? There will never be enough experts to outweigh the votes of the morons, so the only way is for the experts to persuade the morons to vote their way. As we know this rarely works because if someone approaches the morons and gives them something that will directly benefit them, their vote will quickly change.

The application of democracy in the life of nation and state is very important to be realized. but a democracy like a double-edged sword on one side brings goodness and the other brings badness. One that brings badness is that sometimes democracy is used by irresponsible people to achieve their personal or group desires because of lack of education and morals.

[esa2782]

of course democracy is important and it is always be, because the main point of democracy is the representation of the people, everybody must have a saying when it comes to policy and will, if we denied democracy because we think it is not adequate due to the level of education of the people that is also against the meaning of democracy, it doesn't matter who you are or what you are, you should have a voice in a system of power.

[Feduk]

Democracy is not always good thing.
It is rather common practice to treat democracy as wonderful elixir, that can cure all problems,
but in practice if often means only populism and ostentation.

[Cootie]

I think its not. Different types of government are applicable differently on every country. Some needs democracy while some are not. Democratic government must be in balanced. This type of government, major decisions is being decided by the majority, so if the majority is influenced badly, it can lead to wrong decisions, which is catastrophic.

Yes democracy is not only necessary but essential part of economy as well.

I’ve always believed that democracy, capitalism and economic progress are all intimately connected, that you can’t have one without the others.

[bit1_ts2]

I believe there is no absolute system of good and bad, it all depends on the condition of a country. For developed countries with high levels of education democracy can be the right choice, but for countries whose average education is still low democracy is less suitable, because it is easily mobilized by irresponsible parties

I completely disagree with your post. I will give you a very simple example. You can compare between China and India. During the past 2-3 decades, China has achieved enormous amount of economic growth, although the country is run by a dictatorship. On the other hand, India has lagged behind, despite being the largest democracy in the world.

I agree with your opinion!
Community education factor is very vital role in the world of democracy. But the lack of success of a democratic country can not be blamed solely on its less educated people.
Because I think every decision will be back to the leader, wise or not a leader can make decisions. A country if headed by a very long-serving leader or a king if ever made the wrong decision will still harm the state.
