My views onDemocracy

Democracy
Firstly, democracy means that the people have direct or indirect power to influence the Government in decision making through voting or electing a trusted representer. By doing so, the people will be able to voice out their opinions and improve on the current state.
Democracy or any other form of governance has a same goal of achieving stability in the country. Among the different ways of governing, democracy is the best way to do so. Basically, stability means that the people living in the country are happy and peaceful. By introducing democracy, people can vote for their benefits. This will no doubt create peace and happiness in the country. Democracy can only be achieved if the voters are well educated about the political affairs and are able to see clearly who they should vote for that will be able to govern the country well.
Democracy has flaws; corruption is the main killer to democracy. As many cases of corruption are introduced to attract voters to vote for them, the politicians are destroying the system of democracy. By using money to “buy” votes from voters, and eventually get elected to govern the country, these politicians do not really have the ability to help the country to progress. Rather they only want to enjoy the power they gain and do not care about the citizens.
Voters nowadays hardly get any education on democracy and thus unable to vote for a wise leader. They are often blinded by flashy shows, money and even celebrities. These attract the voters’ attention and distract them from voting the right person.
There are advantages and disadvantages for implementing democracy. Looking at the short term, democracy does not seem to be able to benefit the country much. Also during the election, campaigning cost a lot of money, this gives a little downfall on the country’s economy.
However, by looking at the long term, democracy does bring along benefits to the country. If the politicians are not corrupted, the voters will be able to vote out a wise leader that will be able to tackle various problems the country will face, also making changes to allow the citizens to live a better life.
Based on the pro and con of democracy, it is still a good form of government that can make the country prosper. If the voters get more educated and look into the future, the politicians only try their best to attract the voters with their real talents or abilities; democracy is a good choice of government.
