Informative Speech on Philippine Elections: A Democratic Society

The fundamental element of democratic governmental systems is elections.

How so? In a democracy, the administration's leadership is based only on the
people's consent. The staging of the electoral process is the primary method for
converting that consensus into governmental power. In a democratic society,
nevertheless, some presidential candidates indulge in vote-buying instead of
advocating their policies, and others abuse the delivery of government services for
political gain rather than more significant development goals. All permitted
individuals in a democratic nation have the right to be involved in formulating
choices that affect themselves, either overtly or covertly. Distributing fake news
and misleading information is expected in this form of governance due to its
citizens being influenced by what social media posts. What does it imply to be a
part of a democratic society, and what is its function in contemporary civilization?

Democracy is constructed on the principles of individual fairness and justice.

Citizens engage in the election system by casting ballots. Voters elect officials to
take their place and represent their views, and the leaders work to further the
citizens' goals. Democratic elections are fiercely contested. Democracies recognize
that protecting basic human rights such as freedom of religious expression, the
privilege of being treated equally under the law, and the ability to mobilize and
actively engage in social-political life, a viable economy, and civic diversity is one
of their primary responsibilities. Opposing groups and democratic candidates must
have the freedom of expression, organization, and action to freely criticize the
administration and provide citizens with alternative programs and representatives.
This is one of the reasons why fact-checking and thorough research are crucial
instruments to let sovereignty reign and for the Philippines to develop even further.
People are increasingly making decisions based on what they see on Facebook,
Tiktok, troll accounts, and other social media platforms. With this, many people
spread fabricated information that can affect their beliefs and opinions. Under this
regime, people use their voices to end poverty and corruption, which are the main
problems of this democratic country. One of the justifications why young people
are so crucial in building the world is because of this. Because most politicians in
all countries have a history of disregarding youth in favor of programs that favor
the elderly, since the elderly are far more inclined to vote.
