Concept Explanation
 

Democratic Decision Making

Democratic Decision- Making: A democratic decision involves consultation with and consent of all those people who are affected by that decision. Powerful and non-powerful people should have the same say in taking the decisions. This can apply to a government or a family or any other organisation.

Thus, democracy is a principle that can be applied to any sphere of life and can take many forms. Sometimes we use the word democracy not to describe any existing government, but to establish an ideal standard that all democracies must aim to become. In a democracy, every citizen must be able to play an equal role in.-decision-making. For this, an equal right to vote is not sufficient. Every citizen needs to have equal information, basic education, equal resources and a lot of commitment. If we take these ideals seriously, then no country in the world is a perfect democracy. Every democracy has to try to realise the ideals of democratic decision-making. It cannot be achieved once and for all. It requires a constant effort to save and strengthen democratic forms of decision-making.

The work, attitude and view of citizens are the major elements in making their country more or less democratic.

The fate of the country depends not just on what the rulers do, but mainly on what the citizens do. Democracy depends on active political participation by all the citizens. Thus, a study of democracy must focus on democratic politics.
