Democracy and Autocracy
In Democracy it is a government of the people by the people and of the people. Democracy also gives Liberty, Accountability, Economic Opportunity. While in Autocracy Government Control Media, All powers are Centralized, Courts are being Manipulated and Protests are Crushed.
Democracy is some time Inefficient because Group Decisions makes it slow. The simpler Systems in democracy increases Drug crisis, Mass migration, Criminal activities and Terrorism. While Autocracy brings easy Changes, Faster Communication and Problems are solved faster.
It was presumed that fall of communist Russia democracy will very much flourished all over world but 39% of the world population is still under authoritarian rule. Venezuela is a country which is facing hunger, economic hardship and people unrest. The political leadership has manipulated election, and trying to crush the dissidents. This is one of the instances of failure of Autocratic rule. In Gambia 22 years of Dictatorial rule failed and restrictions on media and personal freedom are removed. Tunisia is under Autocracy since eight years but it is still suffering from poverty and corruption. This shows that Autocracy cannot be successful with its plus point shown as above. However, countries like Bolivia, Nicaragua, Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Philippines, Russia and China are drifting towards Autocracy which is the red signal for Democracy.
Democracy is successful in USA, India, Columbia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Armenia, and New Zealand in spite of some of the drawbacks in the system. The 60% of world population is under Democratic System. Hence it is not to show which system is better but to show that all systems carries its own Merits and Liabilities. However Democracy with its own deficiencies preserve and protect the finer things of Human Life i.e. Right of Expression, Human Dignity and Liberty.
