This I believe democracy is part of our daily lives whether we know it or not. It is important that we all know and understand the government known as democracy because we will all experience it in the outside world and we will fail if we don't know what we have and how it works. Democracy is not just a form of government it’s how we live our lives and its how we will continue to live our lives until we die or have a revolution. This I believe that Democracy is a fair and just government with checks and balances to make sure that the government is doing what the people want, for the people and the way the people want it done. Democracy is about being able to state your opinion without the fear of being ridiculed and being thrown out because you had a radical idea. In democracy you can do what you feel and you can say what you want about any ideas that you may have to change the government or to change your town council it doesn't matter what you want you can state your opinion and try to change what you think needs to be changed and as Americans we have that option to do that every four years with electing a president. Although the President is elected by the Electoral College, the people still get to vote on who they believe should hold office in Washington. This form of government seems to fit into society where everybody wants a voice and everybody has ideas that they want heard and if they are willing enough that they can make a change and try to better the community and become a good standing citizen in their state and community. Democracy is a way of life which people share public problem-solving in all their public roles as a citizen, workers, students, employers, parents, consumers and so on. The purpose of Democracy is to achieve justice and therefore peace and harmony. This I believe is what Democracy is and will be in the time to come.
