Is democracy always necessary ?

[shiki3226]

Yes, I get the idea. That's why absolute democracy is not always good as the masses might actually have different views and opinions about a topic which may cause division. If the leader however is good and knows how to strategize, then the authority should be given to him to decide on certain matters.

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

There are times that democracy is being abused by the people. We all know that the ruling comes from the people. However, there are times that because of too much ruling, the people lose their track and forget to remember what the goal truly is.

Personally, Democracy isn't a good idea why? People can abuse their authority over anything. And once this happen conflict among individuals will persist until the entire country plunge into chaos. So having one leader to rule the country is always the best option, ofcourse the leader must always listen to the people to avoid chaos.

depends, if most of the residents are high quality staffs ,yes, otherwise, no.

[etraderhart]

We have three types of organizational leadership forms:
democratic, authoritarian, and lassie fair.

In terms of political and governmental structure there are far more than your fingers can count.

Today, you can mix all these types together and build a unique system.

But in every case, it is important that there is a hint of democracy for the people to enjoy. Why? The lack of freedom causes revolts, then anarchy. It's not a pretty pcture.

[Daniel91]

I agree that democracy is not perfect because we can see a lot corruption, lies and bad things in average democratic society.
Still, when we compare today's democracy with social and political arrangements from the past, as feudalism or slavery society, democracy is much closer to a righteous and advanced society.
Democracy is necessary until we find something better.

Why democracy is necessary. The great thing about living in a democracy is, well, living in a democracy. Characteristics of a democracy include things like power exercised by citizens, or officials elected by citizens. Majority rule, but with human rights, equality, freedom of media, speech and religion

[topse]

democracy ?
when we are talking about democracy,
absolutely it connects with government,
of course people cannot just giving opinion and ask it to be rule of democration.
the function of government is to select which opinion is good or bad,
for me, whatever the people want to do, the point dont't hurt or disturb others.
if there is no democracy, it will be like north korean, they just follow what the king says.
and can get their freedom in their life.
that's not good also.
because we all guys not animals. wehave brain to think we have feeling to feel.
we have freedom to life in this world.

Education or educated people does not mean that they would always have the good interests of the punlic with them. DEMocracy meand the people and the people have diverse lifes and the differene n each and every one of them is the thing that makes democracy needed as this keans to let the people think that they would need and give and serve the public as much as you can

Not always. It depends on the situation of the society. If a society have many injustice events for the popo
Ulation then democratic governance is needed.

[September11]

Democracy gets evoked only for quite irrelevant matters, when it comes to important decisions, they are never democratic.

[zoran.drobnjak]

Democracy is necessary now days in western society but in the same time it is highly overestimated.
Rather than democracy, economic prosperity matters more, many oil rich countries in the middle east have very satisfied local population even being devoid of western style democracy.
Also democracy can be equally manipulative as are some dictatorships, notable examples are Brexit, election of Trump etc.
More times than not, weak leaders hide behind peoples will even if that leads their nation into abyss.

[bintangtimur1996]

sometimes democracy is necessary for each country, but for country with big problem in security, democracy is not necessary, because its country need full control from military or center government to guarantee the society.

[jiamileshuai]

It is true that democracy will be big problem when the decision made by the majority that on low level of education. I think in this case the democracy is not necessary to applied, even it shouldn't be applied. Democracy can be good and worse depend on the places and cases. 

[billsted86]

Democratic values ​​are the values ​​that are absolutely necessary to develop a democratic government. The absence of such matters will result in a subtle effect of difficult administration.

[gigatux]

I like to be neutral here I like what you said about not giving a good decision by the majority but I disagree about the low-educated part. I think democracy is not always discussed by educated people but rather by citizens who are concerned to their own country and has a good heart and wisdom.but I also agree to the "not giving a good decision" because based on my own experience people who are in a democratic country tends to overeact and has no discipline.There are some close-minded people that does not open their mind to new changes but always thinks about the negative side of every action that the government does. I know this our free-will but we also have to be open and think out of the box and not only think about what we know is right.

No it is not necessary all the time, it depends on the situation of the society and what kind of society a country has. In the philippines we have a democratic government. People has the freedom to express their feelings and their affirmtion and beliefs.

[yuto7]

Because a dictatorial organization was failed, democracy was born. We always have to be renewing democracy.

[Rohitha]

Yes. Democracy is absolutely neccessary, if true peace and prosperity is to sustain in the world.

It is disappointing that some of the posters on here even considers the thought that democracy is an option. It only shows how much the governments and politicians have subverted the inherent freewill of the people.

There is no select lot of 'superior' and 'inferior' people. In my experience, it is the poorer masses that need democracy the most - it is precisely the lack of democratic opportunity that keeps them there. As for education, again, it is democracy that brings about education, prosperity/wealth and peace.

Every individual is sovereign, is equal before law, and should have the right to live with freedom from oppression from any source, and participate on policy that effects them.

Having said that, representative democracy that is currently practised across much of the world, does not, and never will be able to reflect true democracy. Right now it is only just a sham - the candidates who can fool most of the people get elected, then pretend to uphold the interests of their constituency while doing the exact opposite. Until participation of the entire citizenry is possible, democratic process is just a faux.

On the other hand, block chain technology has the potential to create the closest representation of true democracy.

[jack8989]

I think democracy is necessary nowaday, we always need to have freedom to growth and free society to develope skills.

Democracy is necessary until we find something better. 

Completely perfectly agreed.. Democracy is the best regime which exists on earth nowadays. Until people will find a better regime than democracy, Democracy will remain as best regime. On the other hand, Democracy has drawbacks and people must dissolve its drawbacks away.
