The human life has passed through a long way of development. If we could make an anachronism of history we will see that how few empires, without the exception of actual modern powers, have justified enslavement and occupation of various countries. Romans justified imperialism with the presentation regulations and rules whereas the Britons offered liberalism and progress, Russians presented as their offer to the people the socialism and communism. Today, there are promised freedoms and democracy to us, but the reality in which we live and see every day is different.
Declarations on democracy have been consecutive recently and especially after some events which had a wide world impact. The positioning of certain powers in the favor of a country that, according to their claims, is trying to defend democracy within its boundaries has lead to causing discontent among those people which suffer at their expense such a positioning that is related to close interests. This reaction comes naturally since it is obvious that the content of declarations issued in relation to democracy do not conform to the reality in which people are currently living and, in some cases, these two are in conflict with each-other.
People that suffer the injustice of such intentional positioning tend to raise their voice and appeal for the implementation of right humane laws and rules. But their voice can not be heard over the megaphones of officials or governments that try to present as inexistent the facts on violations of the democratic principles.
The developed countries pride themselves on the democracies that they have achieved to create in their countries and accuse the so-called developing countries or those which are in difficult social-economical conditions for being “jealous” for their achievements. They thing that in every step that they undertake it is followed the democracy pattern and everything is justified by the name that they represent. But, it’s not correct, since in a way or another, they prejudice and underrate countries and people that are labeled as undeveloped.
To be a representative of democracy and implementation of its principles, it means, first of all, to respect the feelings, opinions and human status of everyone and this despite the social strata does one come from, despite of the religious affiliation and culture of one’s country.
In a real democracy, every individual enjoys the right and the status of a member of society and is fully equal to others. This comes as a necessity and right of everyone to be respected and enjoy the deserved dignity. But, these values and laws of the democratic system can be applied in the best form, if in every society there would exist the fundamental stone. This stone has to do with the acknowledgment of the position that belongs to man in this galaxy, in relationship with the One who gave him life, society and everything that exists around him. As a follow of this, man has to acknowledge one’s rights and duties in rapport with everything that surrounds him.
By not leaving out the importance of having a state, it should be specified that the importance of the formation of a society is bigger. The way how a state will progress has mostly to do with the manner in which its citizens will be treated. The power of a state varies on the ground of the power that its own citizens have delegated to it. Their opinion should be decisive as to the formation of the government, which should act not only after their advice, but also in accordance to their desires.
As a result, we can say that the difference between the western type democracy, where the power belongs to the people and the one which is based on the Absolute power of God is that the later combines the religious faith with the notion of democracy and civilization. In this democracy, the absolute Ruler is God and the leaders obey to His rule and are His dependents. In such a democracy, it is very likely that everyone see in reality the principles of the true democracy.
