What is democracy? Why democracy? class IX
Democracy is a form of government where rulers are elected by citizens. There are arguments both for and against democracy. Arguments against include leaders constantly changing which causes instability, and democracy leading to corruption through electoral means. Arguments in favor are that democratic governments are more accountable, improve decision making, provide ways to deal with conflicts, and allow citizens to correct mistakes. The most common modern form of democracy is representative democracy, where leaders are elected by adult citizens to make decisions on their behalf, which is necessary in large countries where not all citizens can directly participate.

Ancient Greece practiced a limited direct democracy where citizens participated directly in councils, while Ancient Rome preferred an indirect republican democracy where citizens ruled through elected representatives, similar to the modern US system. The document also discusses Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian views that influenced concepts of democracy, such as citizens participating in government, using reason over superstition, and having written laws and separated branches of power.

The Barrier of Establishing Democracy in Bangladesh
The Barrier of Establishing Democracy in Bangladesh
The term democracy is derived from the Greek words, demos and Kratos, the former meaning the people and the latter power. Democracy thus means power of the people. It is now regarded as a form of government in which the people rule themselves either directly or indirectly through their representatives. In the words of President Abraham Lincoln, โDemocracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the peopleโ. According to Bryce, โDemocracy is that form of government in which the ruling power of a state is legally vested, not in any particular class or classes but in the members of the community as a wholeโ.
But what is the present status of democracy in our country???..
We have passed about forty-one years since independence but our achievements in the spheres of democracy and development are not noteworthy. In Bangladesh every political leader or party, civil or military, popular or unpopular, big or small, in or out of power, talks about democratic incessantly. Even so the nation has failed to put it into practice. Parties voted into power to strengthen democracy have all failed to encourage its values. Taking advantage of this situation, military leaders intervened to practice their own version of democracy, which only exacerbated the crisis. The country today is riddle with numerous problems threatening the very development of democracy.
What is the reason for this???..
Presentation 2 Democracy
This document discusses democracy and representative democracy. It defines democracy as rule by the people, where citizens have the right to elect their government and participate politically. Representative democracy is presented as an indirect form of democracy where citizens elect representatives to act on their behalf. While representative democracy aims to promote freedom and equality, issues can arise regarding the relationship between representatives and citizens, and whether representatives uphold citizens' interests. Electing poor representatives is also a risk due to complex voting systems, potential for corruption, and media influences that can mislead citizens.
Direct and indirect elections
This document discusses direct and indirect elections. Direct elections allow voters to directly cast ballots for political candidates or parties. Indirect elections involve voters selecting electors who then choose political leaders. Some advantages of direct elections are that it gives citizens direct choice over their representatives. Indirect elections are used in countries like Pakistan, India, and Turkey to select heads of state. Advocates argue it can select more qualified leaders, but critics say it is less democratic and opens the system to more political corruption.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
