Democracy

The fundamental feature of democracy, according to Wikipedia, is competitive elections. "Freedom of speech, freedom of press, and the rule of law" are components that go into competitive elections, unfortunately for our society money speaks, money writes, and money overthrows, therefore the current definition has been used incorrectly, dont you think?

Tyranny

 "A government in which a single ruler is vested with absolute power." This is the definition that the online dictionary uses to define tyranny. It is simply defined and, to me, simply describes our president. We elect one man to run our government and have power over millions of people. Based on his beliefs, morals, and attitude, our country lives beneath its "ruler" Whether the word president, ruler, or tyrant is attached to his/her name, they are still considered a single individual with power.

Harmony

Rule of Law

The "rule of law" is the "principle that no one is above the law". It is an unwritten rule that everyone, including our government, must abide by. Laws are meant as a guideline, a moral way of living, and a separation between right and wrong. If society is expected to follow these written laws, society should only expect their government to follow them as well. I find that this is one part of our current democracy that is continuously ignored.It has become a corrupt and has lost it credibility. 

Education

 Education "encompasses teaching and learning specific skills". It is a way to mold and shape our decision making. Education is a processs in which the mind continues to absorb critical and useful information. In our current democracy, education is crucial to its survival. The less educated our government officals are, the lack of useful skills they are able to exhibit during problem solving.
