DEMOCRACY
“Democracy”
Democracy is a derivation from two Greek terms “Demos” and “Kratos”. The
former word means the people and the latter word means power. So democracy means
“power of the people”. In democracy the preeminent factor is the people. There the
government is run by the people and the main concern is the welfare of the people.
Democracy has a great educative force, because it strives for the development of the
personality of the citizens. So democracy is not only a form of government but a kind of
upgraded society. It is a system of government where citizens are allowed to participate
in the proposal and creation of laws. Throughout history, different places have had
different forms of democracy. Two of the most common forms of democratic
government are direct democracy and indirect or representative democracy. In a direct
democracy, citizens are directly involved with creating laws, and in indirect democracy,
citizens elect representatives who create laws on their behalf.
The role of the citizen in a democracy is one of the essential features of the
government to enlightenment the citizens. This enlightened outlook enables the citizens
to have meaningful participation in the democratic process. This participation may be
positive by supporting the government in power. It may also take a negative form by
protesting and opposing the government in power. This participation may be at various
levels of involvement. In order to make the participation effective and bring in a real
input in the system, there should be freedom of expression. The freedom of the press
and the mass communication media should become forums for free expression of
views. The right to protest against the action of the government is a fundamental right
and proper assertion of this right keeps the government on the democratic path of not
only being responsible but also responsive.
In democracy the citizen should have a certain right to have their own beliefs and
to say and write what you think. It has a freedom religion in which everyone is free to
choose of their own religion and to worship and practice their religion as they see fit. In
every individual they must have right to enjoy its own culture along with other members.
And also all citizens are equal under the law. No one may be discriminated against the
basis of their race, religion, ethics groups and genders. There’s a lot of right can state
that cannot take away for citizen. Just like what we said that “It’s a free country you can
do what you want’’ you have your own rights to choose and make own decision
It also have a rule of laws in democracy which is to protect the rights of citizens
maintain order and limit the power of government. There’s no ruler, minister, or political
party can tell a judge to how to decide the case. They have must also observe the
certain principles and rules of democratic conduct by respecting and reject the violence.
Every citizen should learn and participate peacefully and respect the rights of his or her
others fellow citizens.
