The Problems of Democracy

When any group of people design a governmental system there are always advantages and disadvantages to everything. As you look around the world from my personal point of view you see two basic systems. First you see all the various forms of democracy and then you see Military Dictatorships and then you see hybrids of both at the same time. If you study history it took a whole lot of Warlords and Military Dictatorships and struggles for governments to evolve into democracies. If you want to get things done really quickly a military dictatorship might be desired. However, if you want to protect human rights and to protect the ecology of any nation so future people will actually WANT to live there you simply must have a democracy for people to want to live any place on earth 100 years from now. For all the military dictatorships will be cancer causing places where people die young.

However, for all the good things that a democracy does in the present and the future for their people they are also vulnerable to people who are various kind of terrorists whether they be violent or internet or white collar criminals or whatever other insidious forms that both criminals and terrorists take. So that every successful criminal act or terrorist act brings down the value of that democracy and makes its people question whether that national government or police force can actually protect them or whether that government is presently obsolete or ineffective. And each culture might have different standards for all this depending upon their own unique cultural history. So, as good as democracies are at protecting the ecology and human rights, when you are dealing with overpopulation and terrorists and global climate change it is possible that eventually if things get too out of hand that democracies might begin to fall all over earth and governments might tend to move back towards Military dictatorships and Warlords.

I personally hope this is not the case so any way you can defend democracy so your children and your children's children can experience the quality of life that only a democracy can bring, please find a way to defend all democracies worldwide. Otherwise, the world will descend once again into a new stone age of Chaos and Warlords once again. So I hope there is a way to defend and to increase the number of democracies worldwide so the human race has a future someone actually wants to live here on earth and beyond.
