Part C : Essay
To what extent we should embrace the ideological perspective(s) reflected in the above source?
Democracy is a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them. The governing system, its institutions, actions, and legal structures, are designed with the individuals. The perspective presented in the source is that Winston Churchill is insisting that democracy was the worst political type, this views him as British Prime Minister during the middle 20th century. This quotation possess both positive and negative perspectives. So far, no government created with democracy is perfect; nonetheless, democratic system brings advantages to our community. On one side of the issue, the perspective represented by Winston Churchill can be argued with or consent with. In order to create efficient democracy will definitely take time, because citizens take parts in governing system. However, this might be the reason why certain governments failed running democracy government. The idea behind this quotation is very realistic, since the thoughts behind the citizens is not always fairly represented. This source is again demonstrating how democracy works in the government and why this system is not perfect. Ultimately, While democracy is not perfect system, there will be no other best form of government type.
First of all, In democracies, the people is expressed in the selection of representatives of the government during elections. Also, private market system, independent judiciary, media and rule of law; theses act as tools to entrench basic citizen rights and freedoms. Canada is under Parliamentary Democracy and follows a tradition known as responsible government. Reforming laws or passing laws goes through branch of government. Unlike Canada, United States follows a republican system of government. It also has three branches of government; legislative, executive, and judicial. United States checks that no one branch of the government becomes too powerful. These two countries are example of succeeding with democracy government. Of course, that their systems are not perfect; it brought huge changes in to the communities and the country has developed through democratic system. On the other hand, since democracy is never a self going process. If the citizens are not familiar with the process of just democratic elections and parliamentarian process the system might fails with the participation of the inhabitants. This happened in Germany, there were several reasons why Germany has failed with democratic system. However, the main reason was, that it was implied on the Germans without support from the common German. Democracy is not automatically successful from itself, citizens must know that they gain more than idealistic values.
Ochlocracy and Oligarchy are two words that shows democracy and dictatorship. Ochlocracy is a political system in which a mob is the source of control and this word was firstly used to disregard democracy in Greek when they were running under the democratic form of government; when the government corrupted. Following with Winston Churchill's assertion, Oligarchy is a system that is governed by a few people. They are often controlled by politically powerful familes. Russia has been called an oligarchy because of their communist party in the soviet union. These two systems are not perfect, so Winston Churchill cannot only say that democracy is not perfect.
Winston Churchill’s assertion was that democracy is not perfect and he supported dictatorship. Between these two systems, there is a huge gap of difference. Where democracy is more of freedom and individual rights; dictatorship is placing more importance on making decision by government itself. Advantages and disadvantages follow after these two systems. Democratic system will relying on citizens, individuals get right to vote, involvements in passing the laws and private market system. Although, democratic system brings individuals rights, the thoughts behind citizens is not always fairly represented. Dictatorship does not care about citizens voice, its only the government who’s important. Even though, citizens does not get their rights as much as democratic system citizens; dictatorship might be more efficient. Since, it takes less time to pass the laws. Also, the leaders of democracy countries can loose their crown as quickly as they gained their supports; where dictatorship system does not allow citizens to vote. Therefore, individuals cannot definitely declare that certain system is better than the other.
The ideological perspective in the source, that voting is the most obvious evidence of democracy, where it shows individual rights. However, it alone does not define democracy, the citizens must be educated and well informed about the democracy, since they are heart of the country. Democracy is on the edge of a cliff, since it takes in citizens voice and government voice. It might falling into the hands of people who will use the powers of government for their own purposes. Following these reasons, Winston Churchill can state the democracy is not perfect. However, any other form of government system is not perfect as well.
