Question

D.LONG ANSWERS :

1.DISCUSS HOW INTOLERANCE CAN DESTROY THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF A COUNTRY? ​

Answer 1

Although on its face a democracy sounds good, this system routinely destroys itself via tyranny of the majority. When the majority becomes intolerant of views different from their own it passes laws and uses the resources of the government to silence the minority. This is a failed/destroyed system.

Answer 2

Answer:

It can’t. Intolerance is why we need demoocracy. If everyone agreed on what needed to be done and how it should be done, you wouldn’t need much more than a large spreadsheet.

Democratic systems fail very rarely, despite intolerance being present in all democratic countries. Compare this with non-democratic societies, which fall apart with depressing violont frequency.

It is an error to think of democracy as some sort of moral virtue, when in fact a technology that makes countries work better. It is no different than the compter you are using to read this message, it may work well or fail, but the Windows or Linux scheduler is not a moral thing, like traffic lights.

When issues are imporant to people, they become intolerant, which has all sorts of bad consequences, made worse when it gets hyped up into “democracy failing”, which adds fuel to fires, when in fact democracy is the process by which we deal with important issues that lack consensus.
