Democracy - Canadian
What constitutes a democracy? Why is democracy thought of as such a great way to govern a country? In order to understand the true meaning and purpose of it, we have to look at the different factors in which democracy is run. In order to analyse the purpose of a government, I am going to first formulate my own understanding of a democracy. I think a democracy is a basic right for citizens of that particular country to express their personal opinions, vote freely on any issues, and make a decision based on the popular beliefs of the masses. Democracy is a form of organization and a way of dealing with issues that affect the citizens of the country. I believe that in order to have a country that functions and operates to the liking of the whole, a country cannot be a pure democratic society. There are contrary opinions of some key philosophers that argue against a democratic governance. Democracy has come a long way since man has existed. As you study history, you will find that many people have not been used to a society in which democracy has been the basis of ruling a country. Throughout recorded history, most people have been ruled by kings and other dictators. Democracy is not purely bad nor purely good
