Democracy from a different aspect

Democracy from a different aspect

In every western country democracy is nowadays the only acceptable regime, at least for the majority of the people. However in less developed countries or in the developing countries democracy is visionary.

It is difficult for us, the people who live in the developed countries, to understand why don’t they rebel in order to have democracy into their country. Why do they seem to enjoy this monarchy, which infringes their rights?

The obvious answer is that they are forced to do so and that if they were left alone they would have democracy. Another obvious answer is that they don’t have the necessary education in order to understand that monarchy is not the best regime. Another possible answer is that many people have got used to it and they don’t want to change the regime because they are afraid of this change.

I believe that the truth is somewhere in the middle of the previous sentences. For instance, although there are many people in these countries who are very educated, the vast majority of the people are not so educated. Also, the educated people abandon their country and live in civilized countries where they are free to tell their opinions without being in danger.

In addition, I think that it is not so obvious that democracy is the best regime. We shouldn’t forget that it took many centuries to the ancient Greeks to have a democratic regime. Also, during the dark ages democracy didn’t exist even as an idea to the common people. Thus, even if people in developing countries are left alone to select a regime it will take them some time to understand that democracy is the best one existing nowadays. However, it is better to let them decide their regime on their own than interfere to their domestic problems. There are plenty examples for this from the history. The best and the most recent is Iraq, which typically has democracy but actually there is anarchy or at least this is what is presented to us.

To sum up, in my opinion every country should let their people select their regime freely and this will be accomplished only when people are well educated.
