Democracy is defined as a form of government in which power is held directly or indirectly by citizens under a free electoral system. But can it really be defined? Democracy is up for anyones interpretation in how they believe it should be run, considering the basic idea is power to the people. But power also can be varied. To understand Democracy you must look at it on multiple perspectives. Power can be injust and unfair at times when it is given to the minority rather than majority, in which most people actually lack power. Power isn't evenly distributed, making it unfair in most views, but if everyone had power there wouldn't be such a thing as 'power.' In order for someone to indeed have power there must be some without it. The common arguments and debates on Democracy prompt questions based on equality. Equality is near impossible to reach with everyone pursuing their own life. Citizens hold the power of Democracy and we are all citizens, but others have more power. Democracy is almost inevitable when being explained due to the many vague understandings. The purpose is to please the people but in a way its ironic because it brings divisions within causing issues. The people are split up by class which is how their power is divided. This shuts the ideas of equality out the doors.
