Democracy

Demos or people means us citizens. Democracy means being free and having justice. This concept has been in the country for several years now but how do we make use of it? We've been democratic since the time of the Americans. They taught us to be a country that is free, fair and just. But what has happened now? Isn't it we have elections regularly and we have the chance of voting for the officials? But, why is that we still don't succeed in the political aspect?

The answer is quite simple. Although not everyone is aware of it. You see, democracy was brought here by the Americans and just injected the beliefs and concepts that commanded the idea. The problem is, we have political foundations before they even came. And from this comes the difficulty of adapting to a new set of principles. The country is very much alien to the core values of democracy, that is why up to now, it is still in the process of making it work.

How long do we need to wait before it actually works? That I ask with all the other people who wonder everyday.

If our culture changed, will democracy come by?

But this is impossible right? Because apparently, Culture is everything.
