What is the future of democracy? Is it a realistic option?
What is the future of democracy? Is it a realistic option?
What a loaded question. I think that to begin digging, we need to look at whether or not we are even functioning in a democracy right now. Is it we the people, or we the corporation?
I can feel comfortable in saying that they way democracy has historically been, that that "pure form" of democracy, we will never see again.
I think the belief behind democracy is a realistic option. But as with everything else in our world, it's changing. People are no longer the only "things" that matter, the role of corporations has really affected the political system. Democracy will need to be re-defined. But I feel strongly in saying that the purpose behind democracy, the thought of people have an opinion in the government will continue to be an American value. I think that us as Americans, that we are too strong to watch the future of democracy to become totally deteriorate, or have we already passed that point?
