Democracy and its impact on human life
<<Exercising our right to vote is the only action that can lead to a true democratic change>>
Obviously, we must thank certain ideas that have been precursors and that have also been postponed, creating a precedent in history, such as democracy, which is "an idea that emerged in Greece where the people are the ones who choose and choose basic aspects concerning above all the direction of the country through politics and the people who have control and decision-making of itβ as I explained, it is an idea exposed in Greece, therefore its origin and that of its name comes from there, it is worth adding that the word in this language when translated means the government of the people, because it is a system that gives us absolute control to take those who have ideals that we think the people need to advance, grow and obtain a change, therefore it goes without saying and exposing it but like this As we sometimes demand rights, we must also participate in our duties by voting.
On the other hand, democracy is not only synonymous with participating in elections and with exercising the right to vote, we must take into account that they are aspects that go much further, aspects that merit an in-depth analysis of the various proposals put forward by the candidates to be elected in the table and not simply be guided by populism, or by image, be guided by their criteria set out in their various action plans to be carried out during their election period, many times the key to knowing if it will be a good government is within the reach of our hands and as a duty, we must take the time to investigate, investigate, clarify through our criteria what is best for the country but also have empathy and think of all the inhabitants without detailing their social class, but also then I will leave you Some tips that can help us verify if the fundamental pillar of the candidate is truly democracy or another political system used for the purpose of and come to power:
-Obviously the first characteristic is to inquire thoroughly if their conceptions with respect to democracy have always been the same, that is to say that their priority at all times of their process in power is the approval of the people's consent and that they always respect the free vote , secret and universal.
-The leader, having democracy as the cornerstone of his political profession, will not object to freedom of expression, given that we remember that this is a model where what matters most is the people together with their thoughts and doctrines, as well that it should never seek to censor the ideas of either the people or the various media that transmit information, that is, the media.
-Our official candidate must have zero negative intentions in terms of not abiding by the constitution, that is, above all, he must respect and enforce the laws that have been within the constitution for many years, nor should he have the desire to change or redesign it to that it works in their favor and not that of the people.
-This human being must respect not only the constitution, but also the other people that the people have chosen to make use of other positions of high power, that is, he will not change anyone just for pleasure or because he supports his ideas, he must be the always the people who choose the staff they want to represent them so that there is a true democracy.
-This individual, in addition to all the above, must agree to always protect and safeguard the rights of the people and, above all, of the small minorities that do not understand much about political processes.
On the other hand, it is necessary to add that many countries have only adopted democracy until the last century, well, all this because others still wanted to subjugate other countries through control and even slavery, it is said that it was after the Second World War world where many began to implement this model thus becoming republics where a constitution would be written that would give other rights such as the right to vote at the polls, on the other hand it should be noted that since the idea arose and various thinkers and geniuses did their work through various writings where they made clear many characteristics that the model would have to have in order for it to flow and be successful, but also from there, classifications or ramifications of democracy arose from the origin, such as representative or indirect democracy, one of the most popular in the world. , basically it is a model that allows us to choose the representatives who will defend or represent us. They will sit in political positions based on their criteria, as previously explained.
On the other hand, we also find direct democracy, which was proposed from the beginning, where it worked through the citizens in many popular meetings, they directly expressed their opinions and criteria for their future, that is, there were no representatives, the citizen directly was the one who decided, but it is a model that was set aside due to the large number of people in society today, these are the main aspects of democracy, of these two many more are generated, on the other hand, we women had a great fight so that the world was egalitarian since being female they did not allow us to exercise the same right as men, obviously that has changed, fortunately we live in a society where inclusion and equality have achieved great progress including us as women in all areas even carrying political positions of power, because we have the same abilities as any other human being, what we propose we can achieve Rare always, it is evident even through many women who are holding important positions in politics such as the vice president of the United States.
Now, we must always think with a cool head when choosing our rulers those people who, when they are in power, do not forget the welfare and integrity of the people is paramount in a democracy because otherwise it would be another system of government, we see the political situation that my country Venezuela is going through, an undefined situation since the various rulers say they are governed by a democratic model but their actions show the opposite, if we analyze Venezuela with any other country, our backwardness is extremely evident, even personally only I can say that I have seen the same model throughout my life since they are people who refuse to set aside power to give it to other people to give the country a new focus, therefore deciding well will definitely make a change in the future Today is the day of democracy, a day to celebrate that within what is possible we are free.
