Democracy Creates Stability in a Society

As we all know, democracy is now performed in most of countries in the world. In addition, it is always considered as the best form of government system as well. However, many argue that democracy may not create stability in a society, but only constant arguments or conflicts. In my own opinion, democracy does create stability in a society, relatively.
Firstly, let me introduce the definition of democracy. Democracy is a system of government by which political sovereignty is retained by the people and either exercised directly by citizens or through their elected representatives. In democratic society, citizens have rights to make decisions on civil issues, and the major authority is controlled by the public. In conclusion, it means that citizens controlled their own country.
Democracy often considered as the symbol of freedom because the country is controlled by the public but not the authority. People like freedom. Therefore, they like democracy. They may spend some time on discussion or even argument. However, after deciding, they would definitely do what they had decided because it is their own decision but not others’, and this may avoid the conflicts or misunderstanding between the government and the public. Hence, it contributes to create stability in the society.
On the other hand, despite the conditions of the countries, it also concerns democracy itself.
As a matter of fact, there are various types of democracy. Different type of democracy should be applied appropriately in specific countries; otherwise, it will not work.
For instance, direct democracy, classic termed pure democracy, is a political system where the citizens participate in the decision-making personally. Representative Democracy is a form of government founded on the principles of popular sovereignty by the people's representatives. Basically, these two forms of democracy are contrary to each other. Direct democracy is applied in countries such as Switzerland while representative democracy is applied in Canada, UK and USA. If these two groups of countries exchange their form of democracy that they apply, it will not work. Hence, it is important for government to choose a suitable form of democracy for the country in order to create a stable society.
In conclusion, democracy has both advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how we apply it. Hope the appropriate use of democracy can build a better future.
