Do democracies lead to peaceful and hormonous life among citizens |

Ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus\xa0a definite plus point of democratic regimes.b. But the example of Sri Lanka exhibits that a democracy must fulfil two\xa0conditions in order to achieve this outcome:\tThat democracy is not simply rule by majority opinion. The majority\xa0always needs to work with the minority so that governments function to\xa0represent the general view.\tThat rule by majority does not become rule by majority community in\xa0terms of religion or race or linguistic group, etc.Democracy lead to peaceful and harmonious life among citizens:\t\tDemocracy accommodates various social divisions.\t\t\tDemocracy reduces the possibility of tensions becoming\xa0explosive and violent.\t\t\tAbility to handle social differences and conflicts among different groups is a plus point of democracy.\t\t\tDemocracy develops procedure to conduct healthy competitions among different groups in a society.\t\t\tDemocracy respects differences and provides mechanism to resolve them.\t\t\tDemocracy always accommodates minority view.\t | |
