https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr Do you agree or disagree with the authors when they state that democracy is the most desirable government for a country? en-us 2018-02-05 13:00:12 UTC 2018-03-21 01:52:03 UTC hello@padlet.com lummirac000 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228192994 I think that Democracy is the most desirable form of government because citizens deserve to have input in their government and civil liberties. Many countries are working towards implementing a form of democracy, showing that citizens find it favorable in comparison to other governments. ]]> 2018-02-05 16:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228192994 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228223911 I agree and think that a democracy is the most desirable government for citizens of a nation. The idea of representation and influence in the government sounds appealing. Whether it is the most effective government style is up for debate. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228223911 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228231235 I agree that democracy is the most desirable government for a country. Democracies give citizens political rights and civil liberties, which give citizens a say in governments as well as personal freedoms. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228231235 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228233436 Yes, I definitely believe that democracy is the most desirable form of government. It allows for most people's opinions to be heard and make sure that the government is doing what is best for the country and what most of the citizens want.  Democracy also allows for more change in government as well to reflect how times and opinions change. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228233436 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228245845 I think democracy is desirable, but I believe its representation in ideal form isn't up to par with where it could be. I believe socialist democracies or social governments often lead to better quality of life and performance. Ideally, I would choose socialist democracies over lasseiz-faire models, but representation of the people's desire is best nonetheless. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228245845 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228343799 I do not agree that democracy is the most desirable form of government because with free will, other people without resources, are at a disadvantage to corporations, and the government. An ideal government would be a government in which the people decide the absolutes in their life and the majority is not in charge of the minority, and free will is the law of the land.]]> 2018-02-05 20:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228343799 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228364064 I agree Democracy is the most desirable form of government, at least for now. Democracies provide opportunity, liberties and freedoms to its citizens. This allows citizens to have the most connection to their government, and still with a rigid and proven government.]]> 2018-02-05 21:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228364064 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228410554 I believe that many aspects of democracy are integral to the ideal government, however many inequalities still exist in democratic governments which would need to be taken care of by a more socialist approach, such as healthcare.]]> 2018-02-06 01:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228410554 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228411306 I agree Democracy is the most desirable form of government for a country. Democracy provides opportunitys, freedoms and liberties. This allows citizens to have a connection to the government and be able to chose their leaders, but also have the government rigid and proven. ]]> 2018-02-06 01:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228411306 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228416961 Democracies, specifically socialist democracies, are the most desirable form of government. The socialist aspect allows for everyone's basic needs to be covered, as well as democracy allowing for civil liberties and political participation.]]> 2018-02-06 02:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228416961 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228418959 I believe democracies are the most desirable form of government for the people of a country. The amount of say in policy control and lawmaking allows people to feel more connected and intertwined with their government and country as a whole. ]]> 2018-02-06 02:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228418959 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228421659 I agree that democracy is the most desirable form of government for a country. I don't think we've seen nearly all of the benefits that democracy could offer because even within the most democratic countries in the world today, there are large amounts of corruption, inequalities, and under-representation. Still, democracy connects civilians to government leaders and even citizens from other countries and is the most transparent.]]> 2018-02-06 02:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228421659 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228423178 I believe that a democratic government is the best "grab-all" government for countries because it has a good blanketed offer of freedoms and rights yet it is up to each country because not everyone in the world wants to same thing. However, I do believe that the full extent of what "true democracy" looks like has yet to be achieved. Corruption and inequalities are still rampant in even the most democratic societies. If some of the aforementioned problems were absent and easily solved, then a democratic government would truly be the most desirable. ]]> 2018-02-06 03:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228423178 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228427178 I agree that democracies are the most desirable form of government because it allows the people to have a voice and some control in what their government does. Although every government has its faults, democracies allow change and progression with the times and opportunities through freedoms for the people.

This illustrates the widespread conformation that a democracy is an appealing government for both citizens and policy makers. A democratic government gives citizens the opportunity to be engaged in their govenment and country, and grants many freedoms and liberties to the citizens. ]]> 2018-02-06 03:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228429175 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228435826 Though no system of government is perfect, democracy seems like the most desirable out of the options. That is if the country is developed enough to sustain it. But then again great civilizations only last about 200 years on average anyways so I don't think it was designed to be permanent. But what makes it most attractive is the emphasis on civil liberties, equal representation , and balance of power. ]]> 2018-02-06 04:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228435826 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228436868 I agree that democracy is the most desirable form of government because in a democracy elections are more competitive and citizenshave more political efficacy and more of a role in the government. It gives individuals more freedoms as well. Although there are examples of democracies being far from all of the conditions needed to be democratic, it still has benefits. ]]> 2018-02-06 04:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/228436868 https://padlet.com/dhoppe/m9fxtklu34lr/wish/234407950 Yes, I agree. Democracy is a very powerful government, it allows the people to have a voice and decision on what goes on in their country.

Democracy allows everyday people to have a say in how their government functions and who runs it.
