Democracy

1. Peace and Security in the country.
2. A functioning impartial media which informs the citizens of things happening both within the region and globally.
3. A system of engaging the people's wills into action.
4. A willing population.
5. An at least 80% literate nation, Democracy is useless with illiterate population who doesn't know whom to choose.

Democracies usually tend to be more stable because if the people do not like their leaders they can peacefully remove them from office through their vote. However dictators usually must be removed by force and those attempts have often led to civil wars. Even though there can be civil wars in democracies it's less likely to occur when compared to dictatorships and absolute monarchies.

* In the past 40 years, democracy has expanded significantly (in what scientists have called "waves") with countries in Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey in the 1970s and 1980s), South America (in the 1980s and early 1990s) and a number of countries in East-Central Europe and a few in East Asia (early-to-mid 1990s) moved towards democracy, many with astounding successes (some of them turning from totalitarian regimes to fully democratic and free open societies in just a few years). However, many other states have failed going on this path, with one kind of authoritarianism being replaced by another (as was the situation in Central Asia, Russia, China etc. etc.). There is a whole transitology debate going on in the field of comparative politics, on whether we can speak of a movement towards democratization or if there are rather more paths that states follow. Search for Linz and Stepan's book on Problems of Democratic Transition... and for Carothers' 2002 article (The end of the Transition Paradigm) for the competing understandings on democratization. More, I find the argument below as nothing more than a poorly made-out marxist-conspiratological critique made by somebody with no connection to politics - there are "non-powers", very poor countries, that are democratic such as Benin, Ghana or Mongolia, and rich countries (world powers) which are miserably undemocratic (such as Russia or China)

* No, we are not moving towards democracy at a global level because democracy is being concentrated in some particular regions of the world for their own citizens and the people of the rest of the world are being exploited as their subjects of experimentation either as weapon testing laboratories or others.The people of developing countries still feel democracy as a dream who are always in the hands of global powers to become political or human subjects of experimentation.

Define regular democracy. A democracy is a government by the people. A direct democracy is a type of democracy.

Democracy is good in the aspect of: · Holding free and fair elections. · Having public debate on issues · Equality being recognised by law · No discrimination based on religion,caste,creed,gender etc · Universal Adult Suffrage · Right to form organisations and protest. However, there are some aspects of democracy that remain in principle and not in practice: · Though free and fair elections are held, not everyone is able to contest in the elections. Only people with money and power are able to form parties and contest in the elections. This is because elections incur expenses that cannot be met by the poorer strata's of society, should they wish to contest elections · Though there are public debates on issues, not each and every issue is open to public debate and even if there are debates, decisions are taken without peoples consent. E.g. the passing of the Lok BAL bill was in favour of the citizens of the entire country. However, the govt. has still not taken any measures to pass this bill. · The govt. is not completely free from corruption. · Democracy takes a long time to take decisions because of deliberation and negotiation in assemblies. E.g. the decision regarding the 2G scam has been going on for years and currently 4G has come up. · There are vast economic disparities as well. However, in spite of all this we can assure that democracy is a better form of government as it is legitimate . It is a govt of the people, by the people and for the people. It has transformed subjects to citizens

The most basic concepts of democracy are as follows:

1. Necessity of compromise

2. Equality of all persons

3. Majority rule with minority rights

4. Individual Liberty

5. Worth of the individual

It means that it only works when everyone participates. Democracy only has any meaning when everyone is voting.

Many of the principles of democracy require a certain amount of active, informed and watchful citizens. This is why restrictions on free speech or censorship of the press are so harmful to a democracy.

Democracy as a regime type is actually on the rise. More and more countries are declaring themselves to be democracies or are authoritarian regimes that are making more of their decisions using democratic means. However, there are a number of powerful countries that were formerly liberal democracies that are increasingly becoming illiberal democracies such as Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. These countries are becoming increasingly non-democratic as a backlash against the growth of Western power and to prevent the erosion of or re-solidify traditional structures.

It's government is technically a republic, which means the citizens themselves do not govern the country (which is true democracy). In republics, citizens exercise their power through voting for people to represent them. The representatives they elect will make decisions/ govern the country for them. True democracy, in fact, rarely exists, and many countries choose instead to be a form of republic democracies.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy. The head of state is technically the Queen of England, who is represented in Canada by the Governor General, who acts as head of state on the Queen's behalf--thus, Canada is a kingdom. However, the Governor General/Queen have no true political power, which rests entirely with the legislature (parliament). Parliament has a lower house called the House of Commons; the prime minister and cabinet are all members of this house. The upper house of Parliament is the Senate, which is minimal political power, and its members are appointed for life by the Governor General/Queen.

Each province of Canada is also a kind of mini-kingdom/parliamentary democracy: the Queen's official representative and acting head of state of each province is the Lieutenant Governor, and then each province has a parliament, structured very much like the federal parliament except that the political head of a province is not a prime minister but a "premier."

Canada has an politically separate court system as well, headed by the Supreme Court.

The logistics of bringing every decision to the plebiscite would grind daily government making to an halt. Therefore, indirect democracies, in theory, send representatives from smaller and smaller groups into a tiered decision making processes. The representatives vote on behalf hundreds, and the representative of the hundreds vote on behalf of the tens of thousands, and so forth. Since the entire electorate is not voting on the issue, the democracy is indirect.

Athenian democracy was developed in the Greek city-state of Athens, comprising the central city-state of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica, around 500 BC. Athens was one of the very first known democracies. Yet, despite all the ahistorical descriptions which accompanied the celebrations for the 2,500 years of democracy, the Athenian democracy was not completed with Cleisthenes. It took another twenty or thirty years before election by lot was first introduced for the archons 487 B.C.Cand for the property criterion which excluded the lower strata from higher offices to be abolished after the battle of Plataia, in 479 B.C. Finally, almost another twenty years had to pass for the Areios Pagos to be deprived of its privileges, which were transferred to the Assembly of the People, the Council of the Five Hundred, and the jury courts. The foundations of this democracy were not solid, however, and that is the cause of the decline, which led to its final disappearance once set in motion. The economic factors that supported Pericles' political democracy disappeared quickly. First, the relative economic equality, brought about by the Persian Wars, was completely temporary.

China is a communist country that is ruled by a dictator, called a Chairman. The government, controlled by The Chairman, owns every media outlet and many manufacturing and industrial firms. The state mandates every aspect of the lives of it's people, including the oppression and torture of those who dare to speak out against it. The Chinese Communist Party enacts genocides to prevent any question on it's authority, then uses it's control over the media to convince it's citizens that it is protecting their best interests (by calling the groups eradicated, "Evil", "Cults", "Spies", etc. and portraying them negatively on TV, radio, internet, and newspaper). Although China makes American goods available through an economy that is gradually capitalizing, it holds a iron stake at the heart of freedom and fearlessly plunges it's filthy fingers into the eyes of those who dare oppose it's absolute rule.
