Civics Supported Debate Statement

others for fun or political reasons.  If the Iranians had rights and chances to express themselves about those restrictions they don’t want, then why should they had revolution to overthrow the decadent and corruptive regime governed by authoritarian? On the other hand, the democratic government authorizes people to make decisions for the entire country; everybody has opportunities to express their views and thoughts.  For instance, Canada is among the most peaceful country in the world which ruled by democratic government, and ever since Canada was formed, there are no civil wars going on in the country because everybody discusses about the issues instead of only one or a group of people. As we all know, people are different than others, so do the religions. In point of fact, the democratic governments not only give people the rights to vote and freedom of speech, they also give people the spiritual liberty—freedom of religions. Some of the countries such as Iran, their government only allows their people to have one religion which is Islam. If somebody wants to violate and disobey the rules, then the consequences will only be punishments or even death. Now maybe a lot of people might say that it’s taking too long for democratic governments to make decisions since all decisions must be processed by voting from citizens. But with this, democratic government always has new ideas coming up since everybody involves and thinks instead of one. On the other side, people were saying that in democratic countries, not all citizens are aware of the political scenario present in their country and therefore might make bad decisions.  Well, this is absolutely incorrect and impossible, since the government is ruled by the majority. Also, think about the probability of bad decisions made between democracies and authoritarian, is it easier to make wrong decisions for the majority of country or dictators? According to the statistics, democratic country is easier become corrupted than authoritarian since the majority might get bribed by bad politicians. But however, democratic countries are far away from the edges of war, because people have freedoms, they don't have anything to complain about. In contrast, the authoritarian countries are somehow close to the wars. The best example will be ancient monarchy of China. For thousands of years, the Emperors and dynasties of ancient China had been replaced and changed for innumerable times.  Evidently, the authoritarian government will eventually be eliminated because there is always bad dictator, and when it does, people revolt and wars start. As Johny Carson says, “Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president.” This means that democratic government is the ultimate government, and it is a key to freedom and justice.
