The Relation between Democracy and Culture

The relation between democracy and culture

Democracy is an administration from common people with the high power
on them and directly to be done by the representative who they choose
through general election. It is an indicator of the politic
development in a country now. It occupies vital position relating to
the power division in a country (generally for concept and principle
of three trias politica with the power of country that it is obtained
from common people and it must also be used for common people's
prosperity. Democracy concept becomes a key word on politic science in
every country's culture. Beside it, this gives the different effect of
each country's culture such as about community's prosperity of this
country that only gives big prosperity to a group of people but many
common people still live very poor. Therefore, it has relation to the
culture of each country especially in how communities can live
prosperously or not.

Many people say that democracy is the requirement for the economic
development but the important thing is all people must the wisdoms to
support economic development in order that community's prosperity can
be reached. The relation between democracy and prosperity still
becomes debating in not only Indonesia but also in the other
countries. The fact about Indonesia's democracy is it makes the far
differences between high people group and low people group. It means
that common people will always live poor although there is a democracy
in it as long as the explicit hokum is not applied in whatever people
level.

In another country, such as in the bargaining of democracy that United
States gives to Iraq has already taken suffering for people there till
now. United States asks to Iraq to use democracy and it has already
caused war so that there are many victims in this country. What a
terrible, democracy become a forcing for a country which won't follow
the United States' asking that it has strong power and admits as the
most democracy country.

India and Filipina are countries' democracy but the fact, they are not
prosperous. The communities also live in suffering there. On the
contrary, there is a country which does not use democracy such as
Saudi Arabia, it can be prosperous indeed because it applies the
explicit hokum. How a terrible they are, the countries that use
democracy are not prosperous indeed. Therefore, it needs an explicit
hokum that is really done of each country that uses democracy for all
people level.

Finally, I conclude that democracy of each country does not guarantee
if a country that use democracy will make their all communities live
prosperously. My suggestion, I wish high people groups, who lead the
country which applies democracy, they will really aware and care of
common people. I also hope they really hear what common people say and
then do fair action.
