Explain why dissent is an important feature of democracy
Answers
The strength of a democracy comes from the difference in views and the sharing of core values.
The difference of views (dissent) is what gives us a better chance that our understanding of common problems and opportunities is closer to a reality we cannot otherwise directly verify (all our knowledge is based on models we have built and verified about a reality we barely comprehend).
However, dissent has to be grounded in respect for the difference and that is secured by that set of shared core values. This respect materializes in listening well to dissenting views and accepting personal limitations (being humble with dignity - self-respect).
Lack of dissent in a democracy is a clear sign of democracy gone wrong - differentiation has been eliminated by either fear (dictatorship) or absolution (anarchy)
Answer:
However, recent studies have shown that dissent serves as an important monitoring force within organizations. Dissent can be a warning sign for employee dissatisfaction or organizational decline.
