Democracy is preferred over dictatorship because it:
Promotes equality among citizens
Enhances the dignity of the individual
Improves the quality of decision-making
Provides a method to resolve conflicts
Allows room for correction
Democracy is followed differently across the world on the basis of their social situations, economic achievements and cultures.
Outcomes out of every democracy:
As a political outcome of democracy, we expect an accountable, responsive and legitimate government.
As an economic outcome, we expect that democracies produce economic growth and development, and reduce poverty and inequality.
As a social outcome, we expect democracy to accommodate the social diversity in a society, and provide dignity and freedom to all citizens.
Democracy is just a form of government; it can only create suitable conditions for us. As citizens, we have to take advantage of those conditions and achieve our goals.
