Having lived and nurtured in a democratic society, I have seen first hand its benefits. As defined earlier by Cheng Xun and Aohui, democracy allows the people to chose their rulers, and in turn determining their way of life. A quick search on Wikipedia has revealed that more than one form of democracy: Representive Democracy, Direct Democracy, Socialist Democracy, Anarchist Democracy, Iroquis Democracy, Sortition, Consensus Democracy and Interactive Democracy. Each of these forms of democracy vary in a certain way. However they all are built upon a similar concept, that is "power to the people".
In the age of individualism, in which more and more people are trying to make themselves heard, people only want to be governed by a government that will listen to them and take the required actions. According to the DPC Freedom House's ratings for 2000, 58.2% of the world's population are governed by democracy. Based on their charts and graphs, the number of people ruled by democracy would increase. Research on the internet has shown that in 1997, there were about 90 over countries ruled by democratic governments. That figure was derived in 1997, and would probably have risen over the 11 years.
Democracy should never be brought together as a whole to be consolidated, instead it should undergo continuos change and finally reaching self-transformation.
