Help in my project of class 10 friends..... Topic : explain about strong dictatorship or Fragile democracy
Answers
Fragile Democracy is still Democracy!
1. No freedom in a dictatorship
A justification for dictatorship is progress in that it will be faster and better. But how can this be when freedom of speech and expression are clamped down and people are subjected to the whims and fancies of a single leader?
2. Not good for mankind
Past years have shown that dictatorship is not good for mankind. Stalin purged Russia and many were sent into Siberian camps. Hitler seized power and wreaked havoc in Germany and the world in WW2. Fate of Pakistan has not been good either. Problems of poverty and backwardness have not been solved despite several rounds of dictatorships in the past decades, in many countries.
3. Enterprise and initiative destroyed
Dictatorships are not good for individual freedom, initiative or enterprise. In USSR, people would be whisked away by the Soviet Police, jailed or tortured without justification. Any dissent is looked at with suspicion and doubt. A small camp close to the dictator wields power and can take a nation to the brink of disaster and destruction at a moment's notice. Consider how Kim Jong Un is arming North Korea for war against the US and its allies and how this could damage entire nations across the globe.
4. New leadership possible in a democracy
Democracy derives its power from all of the people, and not just a small group. This is also part of the reason democracy is thought to be a safeguard against a revolution. Considering the people in charge were put there by the people themselves, there is less of a need to overthrow the government violently. Instead, the people can simply elect someone else if they feel they are being under served.
5. Overall improvement of society
Democracies foster growth in the arts, sciences, literature, invention, and innovations of every kind. When the people are free to work as they see fit, they will have more opportunity to make overall improvements to all of society.
6. Dictators stifle the will of the people
Censorship, propaganda and media blackouts are often cited as problematic issues in dictatorships, because it is important that the people living under the government not get too many ideas from sources that contradict their leader. There is no freedom in a dictatorship, and that extends all the way down to basic freedoms like thought and speech. People can and do get into trouble for speaking out against the government.
7. Dictatorships unstable
It goes without saying that there is no allowance for political diversity, and often no allowance for individual expression or creativity in a dictatorship. This can lead to extremely unhappy people, and often, violent revolutions.
In the long run, dictatorships are not successful and they are overthrown by the people in the form of revolt or the mistakes of the dictatorship himself, unleashing war. Democracy, as Sir Winston Churchill observed, is the worst form of government except others. Even a fragile democracy is better than a strong dictatorship for the growth and progress of the individual and the nation
