Democracy isn't always a good thing at all, Sometimes with little or no democracy a country is able to thrive and though people claim that it gives the people a voice but it sometimes stall the progress of a country especially when there is no outright majority in the country. It makes the country ungovernable when the opposition is trying to belittle you at every turn.

Democracy isn't good always. In democracy, the views of the people are taken into consideration and the people's right are also respected. In democracy people involve themselves in building the nation or the organization since they are involve in decision making and what they say count. So is very necessary to employ democracy in governance. But it is vice versa. Other group of people need to be governed autocratically. Because decision making is quick especially in emergency situations and action need to be taken as soon as possible.

In implementing policies that would affect a whole country with its people, then I say yes everyone's opinion matters, even those who are less educated than others because everyone is at risk.
In matters, where decisions should be made promptly and where time is a constraint, then democracy falls a bit short. We can't have a team of engineers for example deliberating and voting on how they should implement a certain feature for example, that costs time and money. Instead, someone should be in charge, listening to everyone's opinion in order to form an informed opinion of his own and then go with it. That's more efficient.

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

Indeed, democracy can be dangerous. And that's why there is no such thing in real life. The powers that be are just feeding us what they and us think to be democracy but in fact it is no more than a fraud. But this is the case when two evils make a good and two wrongs make a right. If someone superior has forced true democracy upon us, as in experiment, it would be a complete disaster.

absolutely needed by everyone, we can't do things on our own if government will meddle on us and having no democracy in a country results in civil war because supporters of the government tend to have some arguments with people embracing the concept of democracy. But in my opinion if a country is having out of control and many groups getting armed I think that is the time where government should step in and a martial law should be declared to restore the order of the country.

Surely do buddy, education is key and integral to understanding how the current institutions work. If we don't have a proper understanding about them then we can't seek to better them in the future and thus education is crucial to advancing our societies to heights unknown.

Democracy is necessary, although it is imperfect. We must understand, to date, we have not created anything better that could replace it.

I think democracy is very important. It is an important symbol of the development of a country. The people have their own ideas and this will enable the country to develop better. If most people do not have a good education level, but democracy can give enjoy fair treatment, they are also very grateful to the government. Grin

many countries have failed to implement a democratic system.
democracy does not mean to follow the most opinions. instead democracy is freedom of expression.

Well, every system has its pros and cons. If democracy has the con of majority of stupid people taking wrong decision, then in autocracy only one person can achieve that with 100% certainty. No system is perfect. Its we the people who need to behave and improve as a civilized society to take onus upon us to perform our duties. If every person does his job well, the world will automatically become a better place to live.But the dream of utopia will always be a dream as human beings are tuned to be attracted towards greed, power and lust Wink

I think meritocracy comes quite close to being perfect and efficient. The problem with it is that most people are ignorant and they follow those who can play on their feelings rather than take their thoughts. People choose those whom they like personally, not those who are actually better at something. And until common people become wiser and smarter, this will remain so.

Democracy does not mean complete and unlimited power of the people. The democratic structure in the country means that the government listens to the opinion of the people. The "people" in themselves are a huge substance, which can not have a single opinion at all. Therefore, we are given educated politicians who understand the economy and conduct statistics of the people's opinion.
And if you consider that in many countries under the guise of democracy thriving frank monarchy, we can say that anarchy is not to be feared Grin Grin Grin

Democracy is always essential and important regardless of wherever and in what work. Where there is democracy there is justice. Nowadays, most of the places are democratic state companies that are less respected. And compared with other countries in the world, Vietnam's democratic spirit is not high.

Yes, without democracy there is always a hard way to share the thoughts and feelings of people.

Democracy has it's own flaws (look at brexit, plenty of other examples too) but there isn't a better system. Governments need to change, hence elections etc; You can't keep the same people on the top as you will end up being a totalitarian state. More power to ordinary people the better over all. Crypto currencies are one of the things that are changing world's paradigm, just think about it - we don't need a bank any more to transfer value....

Democracy is needed unconditionally, to solve this or that question. We must understand that its absence can harm our society. But I think, that true democracy, unfortunately not.

Well, that is true. It's not necessarily that the majority agrees with something doesn't mean that it is helpful, take "mob mentality" for example. They just follow a certain trend not knowing if it would benefit them or not. They just follow the majority and act on their basest instincts. I believe the remedy here is the promotion of individual thinking and freedom of speech. Mostly we should encourage people to their own opinion about a subject without being affected by other's. We should be taught to see a topic for what it is and in different sides.

For me it is. I mean the fact that we are given the freedom of expression because of democracy is always a great thing for me. Having the power to say what you want and to be heard is already a great opportunity. The only problem that I see is people who abuse this power.

Democracy is always necessary its just that people should know how to abide rules to have peaceful life. Sometimes, democracy have been used under the groups against the government and by this government have to do action, here now enters abuse issues where victims were abused due to their acts supporting againts government groups.
