Democracy

Trust, tolerance, education and participation are underlying factors of what makes a true democracy. The poor, the elite, the middle class, the revolutionaries and the average joe must all have a chance to voice an opinion to support democracy. An informed public makes informed decisions thus valid solutions to problems a country would face. We work together, through debate and compromise at create policies applying to all people. There will always be a majority and a minority but both are equally valued thru rights of the minority and the rule of the majority. Isolation disrupts this hope of equality. Our country's two party system causes people to make decisions not based on information but on ideology. Diminishing tolerance through the division of the people. Without tolerance voices are drowned out and government becomes more of a dictatorship.
I guess what I am trying to say is that democracy is a group effort embedded with tolerance and trust. People can't be blinded by bias to have true democracy..... but I guess it is a bit inhuman (and un-American) to not have natural superiority issues.
