What is democracy?
Democracy began over 2,500 years ago in Athens, Greece where citizens would vote on laws and choose leaders. The ancient Greeks built structures like the Parthenon that influenced government buildings today in Washington D.C. like the Capitol building and Supreme Court. Now, democracies allow citizens to have a say in their government through voting, town meetings, or by electing representatives.
Pol 252 nationalism_national_identity
This document discusses several key aspects of nationalism including:
1) Nationalism emerged as a relatively recent concept in the 17th-18th centuries and involves the idea of an inclusive nation that treats all members equally and is sovereign.
2) National identity is socially and politically constructed over time and can be used as a resource by leaders to pursue other goals.
3) There are different theories for the origins and persistence of nationalism including primordial ties to ethnicity and biology, structural forces related to class and economy, the role of political institutions and state power, and cultural construction over historical time.
Polis
Athens was one of the first democratic city-states, known as a polis, established in ancient Greece. In 510 BC, Athens created the first democracy where 500 citizens were chosen each year to make laws. Only adult male citizens could vote, about 30,000 out of 250,000 men.

Definition of Culture and Cultural Studies
Jeff Lewis defines culture as an assemblage of imaginings and meanings generated by a social group. These meanings may be consonant, overlapping, or contentious. Social groups form around various human communities and activities, each with their own cultures. Communication binds social groups through culture, now dominated by global networked media. Lewis sees culture as shaped by both individuals and collective consciousness.
Culture and its characteristics
Culture can be defined as the beliefs, behaviors, and objects that characterize a social group. It includes both material aspects like technology and architecture as well as non-material aspects such as social institutions, mythology, and philosophy. There are two main types of culture - material culture which includes physical expressions, and non-material culture which includes social practices. Some key features of culture are that it is man-made, can include both material and non-material aspects, is changeable over time and place, is symbolic, guided by social norms and values, and transferable between groups through language. Culture varies significantly between different societies.
Nationalism

Democracy
This document defines democracy as a political system where power is held by citizens who can choose their leaders through elections. It discusses the origins of democracy in ancient Athens, where only male citizens could vote. While Athenian democracy ended with Roman conquest, elements of democracy continued in other places during the Middle Ages, though most populations still could not participate. Modern representative democracy emerged in the 18th century with the American and French Revolutions. Key characteristics of democracy include citizen rule through voting, protection of individual and minority rights, free and fair elections, citizen participation, and cooperation/compromise.
REASONS OF UNSTABLE DEMOCRATIC SETUP IN PAKISTAN
There are many reasons for Pakistan's unstable democratic system, including internal and external factors. Internally, political instability stems from a lack of strong leadership, confrontations between government institutions, and poor relations between the central and provincial governments. Additional internal challenges include social, economic, and religious divisions within Pakistan. Externally, foreign interference and the country's strategic location have also undermined democratic stability.
Birth of democracy
Democracy first emerged in ancient Greek city-states like Athens in 508 BC, where male citizens voted directly on laws. Modern democracy began taking shape in the 17th-18th centuries through events like the English Glorious Revolution, which established the rule of law, and the French Revolution, which overthrew the monarchy and declared liberty and equality for all. Today, a country is considered democratic if it holds free and fair elections, protects civil liberties, and enforces the rule of law.

Democracy-complete-notes.pdf
Democracy is a complex term that generally refers to a system of government where the will of the majority prevails. It originated from ancient Greek words meaning "rule of the people." There are different forms and definitions of democracy, including direct democracy practiced in ancient Athens and modern Switzerland, and indirect or representative democracy that has evolved in Western Europe. Key aspects of a democratic system include principles of sovereignty of the people, social justice and equality, and protection of fundamental rights. A dictatorship is a rigid form of government where one person owns all state powers and citizens have few liberties, in contrast to democracy where people are the ultimate rulers.
Democracy an evolving idea
This document discusses the evolution of democracy as an idea and concept. It covers several key aspects and principles of democracy, including:
- Democracy began in the 17th-18th centuries in places like England, the USA, and France but has continued evolving over time as more groups gained suffrage.
- True democracy requires free and fair elections, participation of citizens, civil liberties, respect for minority opinions, and equality.
- Majoritarian rule can undermine democracy if it does not also protect minority groups. Countries like Belgium have taken a more inclusive approach to balance majority and minority interests.
- Case studies of Mexico, Zimbabwe, and China show how lack of alternative parties or unfair practices can undermine true democratic
Democracy
Democracy refers to a system of government where citizens participate in political decision making, either directly or through elected representatives. There are two main types - direct democracy, where citizens vote on policies, and indirect democracy, where citizens elect representatives to make policies. Ancient Greece is viewed as the origin of democracy. While democracy ensures popular government and political accountability, it also has disadvantages like being an intricate system and potentially endangering minority rights.
Democracy.pdf
This document discusses different perspectives on defining and understanding democracy. It explores how democracy can be defined based on its institutions and procedures, outcomes like freedom and liberties, or social benefits. Key factors that determine democracy are also examined, like levels of economic development, education, and urbanization. The relationship between democracy and development is complex, with theories linking democracy to industrialization and capitalism, or seeing it as incompatible with early economic development. Overall, democracy involves principles of both liberty and equality upheld through political participation and contestation.

This document defines democracy and discusses its key principles and aspects. Democracy is defined as a form of government where supreme power is held by the citizens, who can exercise power directly or through elected representatives. The document outlines democracy's social, economic and political aspects, as well as different types like direct and representative democracy. It also discusses key concepts related to democracy like human rights, the rule of law, and sources that have influenced the development of democracy.
Phases of democracy
The earliest democracy began in Athens in 510 BC where initially they had a monarchy and later a tyranny system. In 800 BC an oligarchy system ruled but the Athenians wanted a just system so democracy was established. In Athens, 500 citizens were selected each year to make laws and all citizens could vote. However, only men could vote, not women, children or slaves. Most modern democracies follow an indirect democracy system with representatives rather than direct democracy.
Democracy
The document discusses democracy in Chile. It notes that Pinochet's military dictatorship ended in 1988 after a referendum rejected his rule, restoring political freedom. Since then, Chile has held four presidential elections where different political parties have participated. The role of the army in government has been slowly eliminated.
Democracy by john
Democracy is a system where the people have power through electing leaders and participating in decision making. It promotes equality, freedom, and individual rights based on principles of transparency, accountability and rule of law. Democracy fosters an inclusive society where all voices matter. It provides a platform for progress, social justice and peaceful coexistence, though it is not perfect. Democracy is regarded as a global issue because it is a global goal for people worldwide to have a voice in governance, and threats to democracy in one country impact human rights globally.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
