Question

Democracy is a better form of government than other types of government .give four reason

Answer 1

1) It's often about ideas, not people.   The nature of democracy means people have to band together and create a distinct sub-culture/viewpoint, called a political Party.  You often vote for a party, not for the person.   This is important because the party can't lie about their views.   If you try, then you attract people that believe your lies, and the party gets slowly transformed into actually believing what they claimed they believe. (which is why Ron Paul has been gaining ground each year in the GOP)


2)  It forces the leader to pay some attentionto what the population wants.   Unlike North Korea, where they can ignore the population's demand for food and spend money on nuclear bombs, we have to at least look into what people want and try to answer there needs.
3)  It tends to stop people without social skills from taking power.  You need good social skills to win an election and running a country is mostly about social skills - getting people to do what you want them to do.   Leadership is about LEADING, not thinking.   In particular, diplomatic relationships are all about social skills.

4)  Democracy usually trains multiple people.  The advantage of having multiple people train for leadership is that you always have a backup.  While they don't get the 'from birth' training that a monarchy offers, this way if one of them dies, another one is ready and willing to take over.
