Is Democracy the Best Form of Government?

Democracy is a form of government wherein everyone's power is used to benefit everyone's personal interests.

Human rights advancement and expansion are only possible in a democratic society. Civil rights are much more than a basis of democratic governance. A pretty evident balance of power is essential in any democracy in order for the court to act freely and independently.

In straightforward terms, a democratic democracy allows citizens to be unrestricted in their speech and expression. In the grand scheme of things, it is the kind of state that allows everyone to be pleased and satisfied. Easily envision not being told if you have to perform this or that, even for the most basic tasks. Thus according to my study, the North Korean government has jurisdiction over things like haircuts and clothes. If you were raised in a democratic nation, you may be wondering why these things should be restricted in that country. Almost all of the time, you're simply glad you weren't brought into the world there.

However, if you will look at the deeper picture of North Korea and another democratic countries, there is so much more to it. If North Korea will just provide a fair justice system and not just been driven by power and authority, it would have been a great country. There are rules there that might have been erased for the better but some are understandable. Like the fact that they banned the Bible in their country. I am not against the Bible, of course, but their reason is that it can and will change the mind or way of understanding a person, which I consider to be true. Most of the people I know who say that they "read" the Bible are always looking for excuses that don't even fit in the box. Also, I like the fact of not just banning but making Marijuana illegal in their place. It has a lot of things to say for a conservative country.

I'm stressing the fact that North Korean people are experiencing such overprotective things from their leaders because the other democratic countries are taking their freedom to the extreme.

The bad side of having such freedom is the fact that people think they can do whatever they want, without being responsible citizens. If you are the only one living in the world, then you can probably do everything but since you are living with many people, there should be equality and equity in everything.

The Philippines is a democratic country. And people have the say during elections, and even after elections. They are allowed to own their desired clothing, cars that are required to register, licenses, and go to rallies if most do not agree with a particular thing. My problem with rallies is that since we have the law, we must do what it says unless the law doesn't sound right. Like if some people are going to do a rally, there should be a permit. I see nothing wrong with this because I think most of the time, the government will give them the permit because most of them, especially the appointed one with the documents, obviously, doesn't have a bad record so it will be easy for people to get the proper documents before doing anything.

According to Larry Davis, "Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights."

That statement should define each and every other statement and movement the people make. A lot of the time, they are only thinking of a certain group and not the other ones. For example, in the Philippines, many people are not okay with what happened during the Martial Law because they said that the government took the law into their hands by killing innocent people. However, if you are certain and concerned about these victims, why be particular in one subject? Why not also consider those who are victims of the alleged extrajudicial killings, the Mendiola Massacre, the Marawi siege, the Mamasapano massacre, as well as other victims of human rights?

We should always look at other people and not be driven with opinions that are not based on facts.
