Democracy Creates Stability in a Country

In today’s world, many countries practice democracy. Democracy is a majority rule. It is the most common form of government of government in the world today. First of all let us define “Democracy” and “Stability” Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. After a few years, the people can choose to vote for the opposition parties if they are unhappy with the way previous leader ruled the country. Stability refers to a country with little conflicts, fights and riots. The country is very peaceful and the people are living in harmony. There will be no discrimination or racism. I feel that democracy is like a double-edged sword as it has its pros and cons in having the ability to give rise to stability or instability in a society.
In a country, there are social stability, economic stability and of course political stability. If any one of them has instability, the other two might very well be affected too. Democracy is not just a system of government but it is also used to achieve many goals in a society. It is now considered as the ideal system of government as it is based on principles such as equal rights and free speech. i feel that the most important aspect of democracy is voting. It is very important as the citizens can elect a leader who is willing to address their concerns and voice out any more that may come along. If not the citizens may be under the rule of a leader who does not care about what they think and feel. As a result, some citizens will resort to protesting, riots, and violence so that they can be heard by the government. This is how social stability can be affected.
However, in a democracy, the majority will always be more powerful compared to the minority. The majority may be satisfied with the new leader they elected but have you spared a thought for the minorities who feel that the opposition party will be better in helping them fulfill their needs?
Just a few months ago, our school had to vote for our school prefects. Before I even heard their speeches or take a look at their posters, I already had I mind who I wanted to vote for. I only voted for my friends I knew or liked. There were some candidates who were very good and had the capabilities of bringing the school to a next level but were not very popular. In the end they were not elected. From this you can see that biasness is present and usually the minority will always lose out.
From my last point, biasness does affect the stability in a democracy. Democracy can create stability but one important factor is that the people might not be able to make a wise vote and as a result, vote for a leader who is not fit to rule the country. If the correct leader is elected then the leader must also be able to make fair and correct decisions in order to create stability too. In conclusion, I feel that democracy can create stability in a society but there may be other factors that cause it to be unstable.
