Democracy

No

It depends on your point of view, the particular society in which you live, you politics, belief system and a host of other personal things.

legislators vote on laws on behalf of citizens.

In respect to successful democratic living (or, as it may also be put, the successful sustaining of a democracy), self-discipline among citizens is, indeed, necessary -- and for at least two reasons. First, a true democracy provides tremendous freedom to its citizens, allowing them to choose their way of life to a large extent, but positive choices in this regard require self-discipline. Second, a true democracy is governed by its citizens, both directly and indirectly: where its citizens are not self-disciplined, power will be abused and governing responsibility ignored -- with dire consequences for all.

Democracy is survival of the majority and subjugation of the minority. It is IMPOSED just as mobs impose their will on the minority. It is a form of government that essentially allows the people to ignore other people's rights to life, property and liberty with a majority vote.

Democracy is MOB RULE. It is a NATURALLY occurring form of government (informal) along the lines of might (majority) makes right. It is where 51% of the population can control or ignore the rights of the other 49%.

A prime example of democracy in action was the French Revolution. "Off with her head!" (Mob chant).

We live in a Republic under rule of Constitutional Law. This protects EVERYONE from the whims of the majority.

Typically, the connection is that when people are politically free to express their own interests, they will correspondingly be economically free to buy and sell goods and services. This is a weak connection at best, since there are numerous countries with relatively free markets that are very non-democratic and there are numerous countries that are democratic with highly nationalized or restricted markets.

Yes.

What it meant in the context of the film (Detention, 2011) is that a variety of people will have a variety of different opinions. Some people might like X, while others don't. Just because a majority of people don't like X, doesn't mean it's in good taste to dislike X. Good taste is, thus, not determined by what's popular, but is itself an intrinsic value.

Democratic governments can enhance security by investing in community-based policing and intelligence-sharing initiatives, which promote collaboration between law enforcement and citizens while respecting civil liberties. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures protects national interests without infringing on personal freedoms. Additionally, fostering public awareness and education on security issues can empower citizens to engage in safeguarding their communities, ensuring that security measures are transparent and accountable. Finally, involving diverse community voices in policy-making can help balance security needs with the preservation of individual rights.

Yes. That is exactly what democracy is. AN individual has the change to make changes by voting and each vote counts.

Three countries that are democracies are Sweden, Iceland, and the Netherlands.

That depends on the State's constitution, if it has one. But in a pure, absolute democracy, all citizens are granted the right to vote.

A necessary characteristic of a democracy is the presence of free and fair elections, allowing citizens to choose their representatives and influence government policies. Additionally, democratic systems require the protection of individual rights and freedoms, ensuring that all voices can be heard and that diverse opinions are respected. The rule of law and accountability of government officials are also crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring that power is exercised fairly.

It is thought the ancient Greeks flirted with a system that we would now call 'democracy' - but they quickly realized the error of their ways and stopped doing it. Having all the common people in charge of things was not very desirable to the elitists. So they "advanced" to a different form of government, where the common folk got to vote for whatever elitist struck their fancy.
