This document provides information about learning outcomes related to democracy. It defines democracy as government by the people, either directly or through elected representatives. It also notes that learners should be able to define democracy and plan ways to embed aspects of democracy into lessons. Learners are instructed to discuss the definition of democracy in groups and come up with at least three ways to embed democratic principles and practices into classroom lessons.
This presentation was session 1 in a 12 part webinar series on the book Extreme Democracy. Extreme democracy is a political philosophy of the information era that puts people in charge of the entire political process. It suggests a deliberative process that places total confidence in the people, opening the policy-making process to many centers of power through deeply networked coalitions that can be organized around local, national and international issues. This seminar covered Context: A presentation on First Democracy: The Challenge of an Ancient Idea, Paul Woodruff, Oxford University Press, 2005 and The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, Michael Novak, Madison Books, 1982. This will provide the framework into which extreme democracy must exist. – Paul Schumann

The concept of democracy is not unique or original to the United S.docxmehek4
The concept of democracy is not unique or original to the United States. The first documented democratic society was ancient Greece. Ancient Greece actually had a combination direct democracy and representative democracy. A representative democracy is one where the citizens elect representatives to vote on issues for them and a direct democracy is one where all citizens can vote on issues. While direct democracy sounds good, it is difficult to implement because of the potentially high number of people involved. On the other hand, not everyone who lived in Greece was a citizen; large groups were not eligible such as women, slaves, and non-landowners. Preserving the concepts of representative democracy is necessary to sustain the democratic process. Likewise, there are aspects of constitutional democracy to consider when reflecting on the state of democratic governance. In addition, the foundations of democratic governance are rooted in republican forms of government. The intersection of representative democracy, constitutional democracy, and republican forms of government has a bearing on the lasting power of democratic governance as it exists in modern society.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Review the articles “Representative Democracy as a Necessary Condition for the Survival of a Federal Constitution,” “Republicanism,” and “Democracy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the nature of representative democracy as it relates to democratic governance.
· Reflect on the concepts of representative democracy, constitutional democracy, and republican forms of government and think about how they impact contemporary democratic governance.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 a brief working definition of representative democracy, constitutional democracy, and republic forms of government. Then, explain how these concepts impact contemporary democratic governance. Provide specific examples to illustrate your points.

THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.pptxMxolisi Nhleko
*Based on the Via Afrika textbook for Life Orientation Grade 12*
"The Role of Media in a Democratic Society" is a thought-provoking slideshare presentation that explores the crucial role played by media in a democratic society. In this presentation, we delve into the fundamental principles of democracy and highlight how media serves as a powerful tool in upholding and strengthening these principles.
I discuss the various roles of media in a democratic society, including information dissemination, acting as a watchdog, facilitating public debate, protecting civil liberties, educating the public, and bridging the gap between government and citizens. Through engaging slides, we examine how media empowers citizens by providing them with access to accurate and diverse information, holding those in power accountable, and fostering an informed and active citizenry.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
