If
the government is established based on the value of “democracy” it means that
there are a lot of controversial argues and disputes regarding its obligations
towards equality, rights protection and restrictions for the sake of moral and
ethical principles and security issues.
What
is the main principle of democracy? I would argue, that the main principle or
purpose is to frame policy, which is equally acceptable for everybody.
Another
question arise, does it possible or realistic to find common values and/or common
understand regarding issues, which are equally acceptable or respected for
everybody? When these argue arise it means that we as a society are separated
into two main groups: “majority” and “minority”.
And
another question appears after, should Democratic government be guided only by
majority’s values, and especially when it causes discrimination of minorities. Hence, every government faces problem of “choice”, but democracy requires: prudency,
argumentations and value’s explanations regarding “choice”. Thus any decision
of government is ruled by “choice”.
Democratic
government has two main functions: set restrictions and ensure freedom (for the
sake of “rule of law”). Considering above said, one’s restriction means freedom
for other, and VS one’s freedom means restriction for other.
Democracy
avenue is an area where “values” and “responsibilities” are competitors.
Society has sense of competition itself, when “traditional values” (stereotypes and stigma) and “modern values” (liberty and equality) aren’t
harmonized.
Society
is on the way of modernization of values towards the democracy requirements,
thus democracy government should have continuous effort of stimulation and
building “modern values” based on principle of rule of law without
discrimination of personal liberty and equality. On the other hand, government
has decision-making responsibility, if governor’s decision is mistaken society
neglects authority, thus democracy is ruled by majorities’ values and prudent public
opinion.
