Smart Democracy (2)

Smart Democracy (2) Democracy first originated in ancient Greek city-states around 500 BC. which has a direct democracy where most people can join the rally and express their opinions This is because the Greek capital was not a large territory. and has a relatively small population But at present, direct democracy cannot be applied. because people have too many to give them the opportunity to exercise their right to express themselves Therefore, the present democracy is democracy through representatives. or indirect democracy For example, the selection of representatives to the House of Representatives and the Senate. Therefore, the duty of representatives is to collect, seek what meets the needs of people at all levels, but what is important in a country where the majority is still. having a poor economic position Priority should be given to the poorest groups of people. or if focusing on middle-class people And at the top, there should be enough taxation according to income levels to help more people at the bottom, and to build the foundation of an expanded education system in the development of more human resources. enabling people to have a well-fed, good quality of life Therefore, the principle of democracy has 3 core elements: a. democratic ideology, b. democratic governance, and c. democratic way of life. And the important thing that the author asks for more is smart democracy This means truly cultivating knowledge and understanding among Thai people at all levels. Democracy is a matter of understanding, accessing and developing democratic capabilities especially at the politician or executive level, leaders need to have a deep understanding. and agree to the rules together and to prevent political vicious circles to destroy the stability of democracy which is the security of the nation and its people, which in the international world places emphasis on good governance (Good Governance), which the trend of this world gives importance to transparency, accountability, honesty, etc. If any country falls under non-democratic rule, it is often denied association. and make an impact on good relationships and including trading with foreign countries as well and including overshadowing the dignity towards the world community which we can categorize the use of democracy as follows: 1. Democracy in terms of governance is that democratic governance is something that must be accepted by the rules The constitution is something that requires consensus from the majority of the people of the country. Regardless of class, caste, skin color, gender, everyone is equal by law. 2. Democracy in terms of voting rights is a democracy where opinions are heard from all sectors by holding a majority Protect the minority (Majority Rule, Minority Right) Democracy does not come from any group of people. But that person must be from a representative of the people. and the public participation in politics as much as possible 3. Democracy in terms of methods is a democracy that uses democratic methods But not by coup d'etat (Coup de' tat') because if it's a seizure of power, then it's not an instant democracy. Even if we pretend to be a coup for democracy But the method is not democratic. 4. Democracy in terms of ideology is a democracy where the majority of the country has a common ideology. and agree together to uphold sustainable democracy Do not fall victim to political authoritarianism, do not use democracy in the pursuit of personal or group interests. But it is a democracy that benefits the happiness of the majority of the country. This was quite difficult to do. Because Thai people tend to stick with people more than principles. resulting in different groups of people and bring about controversy But there should be more tolerance in accepting the rules than using other non-democratic methods. This means playing in the game, not breaking the rules, and is acceptable to non-gamers. Democracy is not a matter of emotion. but a matter of reason Maintaining the rules of democracy is therefore of paramount importance. 5. Democracy in terms of building a nation is a democracy where the majority of people join forces in unity to save the nation And to develop the nation to be more prosperous, reconciliation must not be biased or any prejudice or prejudice of any interests that cause damage to the nation. 6. Democracy in terms of morality It is a democracy characterized by selflessness, altruism, regardless of fairness. The habit of not being greedy, self-sufficient, not taking advantage of others, not liking to abuse others physically. and the mind, having a positive democratic mind with regard to good morals, respect for the law of the country and is a good example of society etc. Posted 13th July 2011 by boonpengsaepua999.blogspot.com
