We all know that democracy means rule of the people. However, If a decision is adopted by the majority, It doesn't mean that It's totally true. Especially If the majority haven't good education level. In this case, should we consider that democracy Is dangerous for the global interest of the people ? What should we do in such cases
I hope you get my point

Well, that is true. It's not necessarily that the majority agrees with something doesn't mean that it is helpful, take "mob mentality" for example. They just follow a certain trend not knowing if it would benefit them or not. They just follow the majority and act on their basest instincts. I believe the remedy here is the promotion of individual thinking and freedom of speech. Mostly we should encourage people to their own opinion about a subject without being affected by other's. We should be taught to see a topic for what it is and in different sides.

Democracy is needed unconditionally, to solve this or that question. We must understand that its absence can harm our society. But I think, that true democracy, unfortunately not.

Democracy has it's own flaws (look at brexit, plenty of other examples too) but there isn't a better system. Governments need to change, hence elections etc; You can't keep the same people on the top as you will end up being a totalitarian state. More power to ordinary people the better over all. Crypto currencies are one of the things that are changing world's paradigm, just think about it - we don't need a bank any more to transfer value....

Yes, without democracy there is always a hard way to share the thoughts and feelings of people.

Democracy is always essential and important regardless of wherever and in what work. Where there is democracy there is justice. Nowadays, most of the places are democratic state companies that are less respected. And compared with other countries in the world, Vietnam's democratic spirit is not high.

Democracy does not mean complete and unlimited power of the people. The democratic structure in the country means that the government listens to the opinion of the people. The "people" in themselves are a huge substance, which can not have a single opinion at all. Therefore, we are given educated politicians who understand the economy and conduct statistics of the people's opinion.
And if you consider that in many countries under the guise of democracy thriving frank monarchy, we can say that anarchy is not to be feared Grin

Not really democracy also got its flaw, it is good to used democracy as the base to build a country, but democracy also need to be accompany by educated and able to understand other people point of view, if nit then the country will be thrown into chaos

Well, every system has its pros and cons. If democracy has the con of majority of stupid people taking wrong decision, then in autocracy only one person can achieve that with 100% certainty. No system is perfect. Its we the people who need to behave and improve as a civilized society to take onus upon us to perform our duties. If every person does his job well, the world will automatically become a better place to live.But the dream of utopia will always be a dream as human beings are tuned to be attracted towards greed, power and lust Wink

I think meritocracy comes quite close to being perfect and efficient. The problem with it is that most people are ignorant and they follow those who can play on their feelings rather than take their thoughts. People choose those whom they like personally, not those who are actually better at something. And until common people become wiser and smarter, this will remain so.

many countries have failed to implement a democratic system.
democracy does not mean to follow the most opinions. instead democracy is freedom of expression.

I think democracy is very important. It is an important symbol of the development of a country. The people have their own ideas and this will enable the country to develop better. If most people do not have a good education level, but democracy can give enjoy fair treatment, they are also very grateful to the government. Grin

Democracy is necessary, although it is imperfect. We must understand, to date, we have not created anything better that could replace it.

Surely do buddy, education is key and integral to understanding how the current institutions work. If we don't have a proper understanding about them then we can't seek to better them in the future and thus education is crucial to advancing our societies to heights unknown.

absolutely needed by everyone, we can't do things on our own if government will meddle on us and having no democracy in a country results in civil war because supporters of the government tend to have some arguments with people embracing the concept of democracy. But in my opinion if a country is having out of control and many groups getting armed I think that is the time where government should step in and a martial law should be declared to restore the order of the country.

Indeed, democracy can be dangerous. And that's why there is no such thing in real life. The powers that be are just feeding us what they and us think to be democracy but in fact it is no more than a fraud. But this is the case when two evils make a good and two wrongs make a right. If someone superior has forced true democracy upon us, as in experiment, it would be a complete disaster.

In implementing policies that would affect a whole country with its people, then I say yes everyone's opinion matters, even those who are less educated than others because everyone is at risk.
In matters, where decisions should be made promptly and where time is a constraint, then democracy falls a bit short. We can't have a team of engineers for example deliberating and voting on how they should implement a certain feature for example, that costs time and money. Instead, someone should be in charge, listening to everyone's opinion in order to form an informed opinion of his own and then go with it. That's more efficient.

Democracy isn't good always. In democracy, the views of the people are taken into consideration and the people's right are also respected. In democracy people involve themselves in building the nation or the organization since they are involve in decision making and what they say count. So is very necessary to employ democracy in governance. But it is vice versa. Other group of people need to be governed autocratically. Because decision making is quick especially in emergency situations and action need to be taken as soon as possible.

Democracy isn't always a good thing at all, Sometimes with little or no democracy a country is able to thrive and though people claim that it gives the people a voice but it sometimes stall the progress of a country especially when there is no outright majority in the country. It makes the country ungovernable when the opposition is trying to belittle you at every turn.

Democracy is being highly adopted in this century. In the past times, word democracy was unknown and ruthless leaders forced the population to obey and listen to them. There are still some countries that haven't implemented democracy in their system because of the few important members of the society that are persistent to hold the population within the strict set of the rules. Today, democracy is widely spread and we can see all kind of referendums that are approved by the government. Power of the free speech is best advantage of the democracy in the current society.

I agree with your opinion, sometimes democracy is not necessary. Sometimes the leader should be the one in charge to make decision for people, especially when the problem is too sensitive for the community.

There is also no chaos in other forms of governing like communism though. However, democracy gives you more freedom.
