Democratic Interventions in
1 Political Institutions

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Describe the political democracy;

2. Explain the political institution; and
3. Assess democratic interventions prevailing in political institutions.

What’s In

Hello Philippines! Mabuhay! The first part of this module will surely give you
an excitement and intrigue regarding the face of political democracies! It is being
said that we live in a government by the people, of the people, and for the people.
There are so many issues that our government have faced and solved. Apparently,
we do observe this and we were able to react with this.
Democracy has been used by most of the political organizations in the recent
time. Exercising democracy depends on the capacity and power of the ruler or
government leader. It is perhaps their obligation to assess democratic interventions
when deluge problems arise in the society.
We live now in a country where human dignity and respect is a top priority
and it should be valued by governing authorities. This lesson was designed to know
our protection and safety not only for the wrong actions of the few but also from
our passion and abrupt decisions.

What is It

What is Political Democracy?

It is a political power exercise in a nation which is fairly contributed
and shared by the people. The citizens have the right to legislate through
performing their rights of suffrage and delegate deserving representative for a
certain position. This means, the people carries exclusive rights to directly or
indirectly participate in political systems.
What is Political Institutions?

Political Institutions are government organizations that intend to

establish, enforce, and implement laws in a state. Their function is to negotiate
conflicts, create political policies, uphold economic stabilities, and promote
social and cultural systems including population concerns.

What is Democratic Intervention?

It is a political association being established to empower and protect
pro-government ideas that aims to uphold widely the democratization of the
country.

5
 Four Democratic Interventions in Politics:
1. Political Corruption- one of the undemocratic practices that is present in
the political system. It can hibernate social ills that suddenly haunt societies
in the world. The reason why people are dissatisfied with their leadership is
because they forgot to provide necessary needs of the people including their
safety, protection from fast growing economic change, and failure to include
them in their programs and other project implementations.
2. Basic Needs- poverty and hunger are two of the common complaint by most
of the societies if these unable to undertake and solve. The agony between
the rich and poor is continuing to grow and there is a mechanism that leads
to create extra activities like prostitution, robbery, human trafficking, and
drug syndicate just to survive from the said problem.
3. Association- this includes democratic biases that weakens the traditional
family bond and kinship which were discouraged to exist by putting
pressures of work, migration and urbanization. There is a huge distance of
government in providing assistance and concern to the ordinary citizens that
causes low amount of livelihood support and led leaders to a highly corrupt,
self-centered, and inefficient head of a state.
4. Participation- active participation of citizens is imperatively effective in
promoting democratic practices in the country. People’s engagement in
various collective actions to execute voluntary services can help tackle and
solve problems. Exercising our responsibility in political processes
determines that we work together, collide to each other, and ensure to one
another that we have one common goal to achieve.
