What are the opportunities and challenges of a democracy?
In this question the first thing that popped in my head was, wow I never really stood back and admired how we are so damn lucky to be able to choose what goes on in this country even if we don't get the final say. Even in the movie idocracy there was still a democracy even though they didn't know what to do more than half the time. And how an average person that would usually sit and do nothing became something because the world was depending on him to get them to a better place. Speaking about average people, there is something I read in "The politics of power" that I really do not understand. Is how people with more money get more obligations within the Government? And back in the day about 30 years ago the differences between republicans and democrats were not big at all. And even further back the republicans and democrats were opposite, meaning the beliefs that the democrats have now used to be republican thoughts. But throughout time everyone is different and everyone changes so sides will eventually swap and maybe it will change in the future and everyone will all get along and won’t need any Government, but we all know that won’t happen anytime soon.
If Nobody did anything do you think we would end up exactly like the movie?
