Question

Apart from its political implications, where else the term ‘democracy’ is used? What implications (like social, cultural, economic etc.) this terminology has while being used in other spheres? Explain with examples.

Answer 1

Answer:

Democracy, literally, rule by the people. The term is derived from the Greek dēmokratiā, which was coined from dēmos (“people”) and kratos(“rule”) in the middle of the 5th century BCE to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens.
