Democracy is a system of government in which all people of a state or polity are involved in making decisions about its affairs, typically by voting to elect representatives or to a parliament or assembly. The U.S. has been using this system for many years now and many people think it is the best way to handle things. The government goes through the people to have them vote for many different positions in office for the city, state, and the president of the United States. Other countries use different systems to run their country and some are good and others are bad. The question though is democracy the best system to operate a country?
Some people believe that democracy is a good system, but don't believe the U.S. is doing a great job right now of doing that. Their are a lot of things the government doesn't tell the people and if they do they make it seem like it is not a big deal. The government doesn't want the people to panic about things they are doing in the country and around the world. If democracy is for the people then why does the government hide these things from us? A lot of the things we see on the news is not very relevant and they are not showing the important things going on in the country. Elections are a big deal right now and they show little news of what is going on in politics. These are things we need to see in the news so we know what is going on and who might be running our country very soon.
Another reason why people don't think the U.S. is doing a great job with democracy is because they feel like we are being ran by a dictator. People are going to say whatever they want about Obama, but he actually did some good things in his 2 terms as president. The reason people think it feels like a dictatorship is because the government doesn't tell us everything we should know. They feed the people a lot of lies just to keep us calm and make some people believe the things they say. The people in the elections running for president feed us lies also. They say they will do all these things in office, but will most likely not be able to do them. They tell us this just so they could get votes in different states. The government has been accused of doing a lot of very bad things, but they will continue to do whatever they want. Democracy is a great system for any country, but is the U.S. really a democracy?
