What makes a government non democratic?
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.
Why democracy is accountable to the people?
In a democracy, we are most concerned with ensuring that people will have the right to choose their rulers and people will have control over the rulers. If they do not work properly , people can overthrow them. . Whenever possible and necessary, citizens should be able to participate in decision making, that affects them all. Thus, democracy produces an accountable government.
Is the US a democracy why or why not?
In a democracy you have majority rules. The can make whatever law they want because they have no constitution or charter to limit them. The USA doesn't have a democracy. It has a federal constitutional republic which is supposed to rule based on the constitution. It's meant to be limited by what the constitution allows.

How did the direct democracy of Athens differ from the democracy you have in the US?
It was direct democracy - the citizens in council directed government. America has representative democracy - citizens elect representatives to Congress.

Dawn, 06/01/1962: "More than 150 scientists from the University and the Academy of Moscow have agreed wholeheartedly with the scientific view of Mr. Mars Poulianos underlined the seriousness of the work and not stingy on their expressions spoke verylaudatory words about him. Dr S. A. Tokarev, professor of ethnography at the University of Moscow and head of the Department of Ethnography of the peoples of Europe at the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, said:
The work of Aris N. Poulianos exceptional interest for the ethnographic science. The pooled and treated statistically huge stock of anthropological research among the Greeks first time introduces a new kind of science sources for the study of a crucial problem, as is the origin of the Greek people. So far on this issue in science has been generally accepted view that modern Greeks historically have very little in common with the ancient Greeks the founders of the ancient culture that modern Greeks for the most part represent descendants of Slavs, Albanians and other peoples metokisan Greece and merged with the Greeks of the Byzantine era. Unlike the author of this thesis, convincingly and based on similar material, shows that whatever the influence of the Slavs and other peoples who came into contact with the Greeks, the people of modern Greece is basically a descendant of the ancient population of the Balkans and the islands of the Aegean.
The renowned anthropologist at the University of Moscow, Dr. J. J. Rogkinsky notes that the southern part of the Balkans is in Europe, where crossing the broad border zone between the area of Dinaric and prosthiasiatikis race. So in this area can be found some of the general problems of classification of the peoples of Europe and the Asian front. "In addition it should be noted that in this work finds its position and the criticism of racist constructs connection with the acquisition of ancient Greek culture." (Note: You mean the racist theories that argue that modern Greeks are not descendants of the ancient and that is why their culture is far less developed countries. However, beyond the unrealistic correlation - if, for example, compare the traditions - the scientific confirmation of the biological continuity of the Greeks proves once again that it is mainly geographical and socio-historical conditions that shape the cultural level of a nation).
"The director of the Anthropology Division of the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow Dr M. C. Levine said: ... It may seem paradoxical to note that many people in Europe were studied anthropological worse than the people of Australia, Melanesia and other distant countries. Among the countries of Europe, Greece is one of the least studied ... The work of A. N. Poulianos fills this gap. The author holds the full methodology of anthropological research, strictly complied all the necessary conditions and given the appropriate attention.
The director of the Anthropological Institute and Museum of Anthropology of Moscow Dr. B. P. Giakimof said: "My view is that the work of A. N. Poulianos represents the most perfect summary for the Anthropology of the Greeks."
On the other side of the Atlantic, the U.S., the director of the Anthropology Department of the Smithsonian Institute G.. L. Angels in American Journal of Physical Anthropology (American Journal of Physical Anthropology No. 22, vol 5, 1964, p. 343) in book review of "Origin of the Greeks" writes: "Mars Poulianos ... correctly concludes that a full genetic continuity from ancient to contemporary times ...».
NEWS, 01.25.1962: "The scientific research of A. N. Poulianos rejects the dogmatic theory misellinos Fallmerayer German historian, who lived 1790-1861, the era of Greek struggle for independence - and who (Falmerayer) quite dogmatically, ie without prior anthropological research - and therefore unscientific aftapodeiktos - tried to support his theory ekslavismou Greece. The researcher concludes that anthropological research with the necessary historical and linguistic evidence is required to solve problems ethnogenetic.
This is a reflection of all past and therein lies the historic value. If the past helps us to understand this, this helps us to imagine the future.
KRITES - Aegean - Peloponnese - SARAKATSANA
Then Mars Poulianos studied about 10,000 more people and hundreds of skeletons from various regions of Eurasia. The groups of Greeks who were less represented in the doctoral thesis (Aegean Peloponnese Pindus) were studied in 1965 with his return to Greece.
THE ORIGIN OF CRETE - ISLANDS
The main conclusion (A. Poulianos, 1971, 1999) is that the modern population of Crete (in a sample of 3,000 persons) and all the Aegean with the mainland of Thrace and Asia Minor remained unchanged at least from the Minoan era and is native to the Aegean anthropological type. Migrations made at various times brought slight changes, but did not change the morphology of the original type. The effects do not exceed 1-3% and this shows again the consistency of the indigenous inhabitants in general of the Aegean basin, at least since the Mesolithic era, ie before 15,000 years.
In 1987 the Italian anthropology professor J.. Fakinos announced at the 2nd World Congress in Turin Paleoanthropology of the existence of human skeleton from the island 50,000 years, which indeed shows the morphology of the modern (Homo sapiens) and not neantertaleiou man. The news never reached the Greek media, as the Ministry of Culture has so far shown his usual indifference.
In 1999 the medical journal Tissue Antigens (Tissue Antigens, Vol 53, January) published an article about hematologic origin of the Cretans. The basic conclusion that ... Cretans are closest to the Berbers, the Semites and the Japanese than with the other Greeks (who came from somewhere north 4000 years ago in Greece) and that ... so it is unlikely that African and Middle Eastern origin of Cretan 10,000 years ago. Article 7 Spaniards signed with 3 Greek professor of medicine and unfortunately come to their conclusions lightly represented as only 135 inhabitants and only studied the gene HLA. Also, unethical move, ie without taking into account the past and of course more reliable methodology anthropological literature (phenotype, ie the external anthropological traits representing thousands of genes). Thus, in the literature are not found and the work of A. Murad ("The distribution of human blood groups and other polymorphisms, ed Oxf., 1976, p. 1055), indicating that no reliable study of the HLA gene because, with it came the unfounded conclusion that the Basques, Icelanders and the Congolese are related to each other more than any other populations. It may be noted however that since 1965, had not yet even started the bio-molecular comparison of human DNA, have sprung up such views, followed by others and, oddly coordinated in the same direction (eg see NEW YORK TIMES - "Cretans labeled non-Greek people", 17/4/1966, in spite of contrary posts eight 15/4/1966 Greek newspapers such as Daily: The population of Crete abode anthropologikos unchanged since the Neolithic period (see and a specific page).
From the historical, linguistic and archaeological reports of the above contributors haematologist, it becomes obvious that they are aware of such issues, and acrobatics into a patchwork of specialty unproven assumptions. For example, say: when the Sahara dried up 10,000 years before, perhaps the Berbers migrated to Crete and established the Minoan civilization. So instead look at (the Berbers) how to survive, they built ships, who had time and migrated en masse?. Not even the writers have reflected whether the Cretans thalassokratorias traveling in reverse, as reported by numerous sources? It was 10,000 years before the era of the last cataclysm? The Sahara dried up before 5500 years (see Sarah Simpson, Scientific American Oct. 1999). If it was not the proverbial often fanciful those who do not have the education to deal comprehensively with similar issues, one could perceive the very top that are similar to considerations of Cyprus, and not just as a bad joke. But we bring as an example of the above article from Tissue Antigens to apparent how easy it is someone, intentionally or not, irrelevant to lathepsei. Only regret is the threshold of the third millennium there are journals that publish uncritically such "works, while".
THE POPULATION OF PELOPONNISOU
Preliminary communication research ("Human", 1977, vol 4, p. 5-36) made under the guidance of the Martian Poulianos Pitsios, who confirmed the basic conclusions of the "Origin of the Greeks, and completed the relevant anthropological data with anthropometry 1582 people. In 1978 he published in a separate version with the words "Library of the Anthropological Association of Greece, No. 2, dedicated (with love) to his teacher.

Greek geneticist working in the U.S. believe that the analysis of genetic material from ancient bones and teeth will soon reveal the origin of the Mycenaeans and Minoans.
The ongoing investigations have shown that the Greeks living in the Mediterranean by 2900 BC, about 1,000 years more than believed until now.
As explained by Dr. George Stamatoyannopoulos, a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle: "The survey is intended to diagnose [...] the DNA of the ancient Greeks and to determine their origin, whether they came from the north, where they came from the steppes Russia or Central Europe, if then.
The team, which includes scientists from Greece, has made a genetic analysis of approximately 50 and 30 teeth Minoans Mycenaeans. Searches are now almost as many specimens preserved pulp to make it possible to draw conclusions.
Regardless, a group of researchers at the University of Manchester genetic techniques to examine the bones discovered by Schliemann in the royal tombs of Mycenae, to see if the dead were family members or unrelated persons.
Mr. Stamatoyannopoulos believes that, apart from information on the movements and relations of the Greek population, once the genetic testing will offer other items such as spiritual characteristics of our ancient ancestors.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
According to research by Professor Constantine Trianatfyllidi Department of Biology, Aristotle 75% - 80% of the current mitochondrial DNA of Greek origin and has palaioloithiki formed after three waves of different movements, from 50,000 to 9,000 years ago. This research was conducted in 143 men and 2,400 Greek males of other populations (Europe, Mediterranean, Asia Minor, Africa and China).
Paternal DNA
DNA is the male ancestors (fathers) us.
According to his analysis of the genetic composition of the present inhabitants of Europe are the result of two migratory movements: 1) During the Paleolithic period and 2) during the Neolithic period that occurred from east to west
Mother DNA
Is DNA Ancestry women (mothers) us.
Besides the above two migrations occurred earlier and another one in the opposite direction from above. People in this case team moved from Europe to the Middle East. This explains the fact that 5% - 20% of the sequences of mitochondrial DNA of the inhabitants of the Middle East has a European origin.
Relationship between the Greeks and other populations
All evidence suggests that the genetic continuity of the Greek people with very little intermingling of the neighboring white populations, and none of Negro and Mongolian.The genetic composition of the Greeks at a rate of 99.6% Caucasian, white. The contribution of other groups is very low (0.4%). For reasons apparently religious, cultural or linguistic Greeks have not been largely intermingling with neighboring nations.
Similarities Greeks with neighboring nations
1) The Balkan populations: compared the gene frequencies of several polymorphic systems among the population of Greece and Bulgaria. The results showed that differences in the genetic evidence does not allow us to talk about common ancestry of the other Balkan peoples to the Greeks. The teacher refers to rates if necessary to mention.
2) Mediterranean populations: The conclusions of the study the genetic relatedness of Mediterranean populations revealed that the Greeks have particular affinity with the Italians. Nearly 22% of the Y chromosome of the inhabitants of Apulia (southern Italy) comes from the Greeks.
-If you made a classification based on the degree of genetic relatedness between the Greeks and other peoples of the northern Mediterranean, we would say that first of all the Greeks like the Italians, after the French, after the last Spanish and Turkish- says the professor.
To conclude the above evidence of overestimation of the migratory movements (Slavs, etc.). In fact, the movement of such people was very small and disorganized because of the difficulties of those times to try to greatly affect the basic genetic structure of local residents.

A true democracy doesn't exist and also it is impossible to exist- excepting SF books; the so-called democracies from today are false democracies. They are ochlocraties, judeocracies, masked teocracies or dictatures, plutocracy (or bankers rule), etc.

A republic is also called a representative democracy.
Did the french bring democracy to the US?
No. The revolution lasted from 1789 until 1799. After that, France was uncontrollable and did not know who or how it should (be) governed. That is when Napoleon Bonaparte took his chance and came to power, making France an Empire. He crowned himself Emperor and from than on, France was under dictatorship.
After Napoleon, his son Napoleon II came to power, but he died 2 weeks after his succession.
After Napoleon II, count de Provence (the younger brother of Louis XVI, who had always been jealous of his older brother and had stabbed him in the back for many times) succeeded him calling himself Louis XVIII. This made France a monarchy again. After Louis XVIII, count D'Artois (also a younger brother of Louis XVI) succeeded him calling himself Charles X. And so on, and so on. The real democracy came to France in 1874 when they officially became (as during the revolution) a Republic. Only because Henri D'Artois (grandson of Charles X) declined to enter the throne as King of France, because he did not want to accept the tricolor flag, the symbol of the revolution which he hated very much.
It's a constitutional monarchy.
A democracy with a Monarchy.
Kuwait is the top ranking Arab country with freedom of speech and the only Country in the Arabian peninsula with a Parliament and elections.
Why is a direct democracy not possible at the national levels?
We won't know without trying. Switzerland, the only country with regular votes, 4-7 times a year, on national as well as Cantonal and local issue, "runs like a clock." It has 4 official languages, which shows that although small, it is quite diverse, with every valley being pretty distinct. One result of all that democracy is the Swiss read more news than anyone, because they share responsibility with Parliament. This also keeps Parliament more representative: if they don't represent fairly, people will pass ballot initiatives they want, themselves, and the Parliament is ignored.
It takes place in different countries and can be any where or every where
How much power do citizen have in a democracy?
In a direct democracy, such as in Ancient Greece, the citizens have all power, and everything is done by majority rule. The problem with this is that the over-excited mass often overrules the minority's rights.
In a representative democracy, or a republic, the people's power is balanced by allowing the representative to fight for their constituency's interests while protecting the minorities.
Is Ghana a democratic country?
Not until 1994. Before that it was ruled by a minority racist whites under the apartheid.The white government made sure since 1910 in rule that 80 - 90% of all the countries wealth s is centralized and allocated to the minority 10% white race while marginalizing the Bantu majority race.
How does the nations chief get that position in parliamentary democracy?
It depends entirely what you mean by "position".
If the question is asking how you become a member of the political leadership in a parliamentary democracy, it depends on the type of parliamentary democracy. In a parliamentary democracy where people vote for individuals, like the UK, it is as simple as running and winning a campaign to represent your district. In a parliamentary democracy where people vote for parties, like Israel, you need to get on the party list and for there to be enough seats granted for you to sit in one.
If the question is asking how to get into politics in a parliamentary democracy, the best way is through an internship with your local parliamentarian.
If the question is asking how to get a job in general (apolitical), there is no real difference between a parliamentary democracy and any other type of government. You send in your resume, talk to the owner, and get hired.
What does the term democracy actually mean?
A democratic government, or democracy, is a government whose decisions are made by the people, rather than by a single person (as in a monarchy), or by a small group of appointed people (as in an oligarchy). A democracy can be direct, where all citizens vote for every decision, or it can be representative, where citizens vote for representatives who make up a congress or parliament that make the decisions. A representative democracy is also a type of republic in which all citizens get to vote for their representatives, as opposed to just an elite few. The United States is a representative democracy, which means it is both a type of republic and a type of democracy. The Founding Fathers wanted to make the U.S. a representative democracy because they wanted all people to have a say in what happens, but they didn't believe that every citizen had the time and ability to make complex decisions and compromise effectively while still living their normal lives.

Which statement correctly summarizes why civic participation is important in a democracy?
Without it, politcal leaders have no way of representing the people's views.
What is a drawback to a direct democracy?
One inherent problem in direct democracy is tabulating the votes of the entire populace. There is no way to have a direct democracy without having a mechanism to tabulate and measure the votes.
How is a direct democracy and a representative democracy alike?
It's not. Democracy is a system of government owned and controlled by the will of the majority of the governed. The will of the people of a democracy would be the supreme law of their land. Unless the people officially choose to endow "representatives" with their rightful power to choose their destiny, any true democracy would necessarily be a direct democracy, because the true will of the majority of the people could only be acertained from a publicly owned, votable forum system capable of perpetually establishing truth about every issue, gradually and peacefully, in real time. There has never been a full-fledged democracy on Earth, for two main reasons. First, humanity only recently developed the computative, interactive and connective technology to define the true will of a population, a task that couldn't be done by horseback. And secondly, the small group (now the CFR) who enjoyed wielding Our power for generations has made a science of convincing us that We hold the power, in order to prevent losing their illegal reign over us and all we produce and own. But, it's obvious to all that our majority never voted for our current conditions of corrupt government, perpetual war, war profiteering, hunger, starvation, officially acceptable genocide, widening cultural divides, ever-widening gap between the rich and poor or ecological devastation of proportions that now threaten our extinction ~ myseries that none of us ever wanted ~ that could only benefit a psychologically unstable few. Countries which have been deceptively mislabeled as democracies by that tiny minority have equally tiny "degrees" or "aspects" of democracy: the vote. Some call them demockery, because they make a mockery of the very concept of democracy. It's a generational global deception of enormous magnitude. Having ballot boxes does not make a country a democracy. And, negative reality is a natural product of demockery. Direct democracy would be a political system which is owned and "directly" controlled by those it governs. Those affected by and/or with special knowledge of a particular public issue would raise the issue, then participate in the formulation of the most popular solution to that issue. Since the vast majority of people want peace and prosperity, that is what a direct democracy would produce. "Representative democracy" is a either just a deceptive misnomer or the name of a form of government yet to exist. America is a representative republic: Not a democracy by definition, as you were taught in public school. So, a representative democracy would require that each representative have a local votable forum system in which only his or her constituents could participate.
