We read about the Democratic “ideal” in this chapter and discussed if democracy is in fact an ideology. Democracy can certainly be described in many different ways. Plato and Aristotle were convinced that democracy
was a bad form of government. Machiavelli argues that the greatest danger to self-government is corruption. Is there a country that we can argue is an “ideal democracy”? While formulating your answer, consider the
following questions: Is the United States a good example of “democratic ideal” or do it fall short? Can you argue that another country is better suited for this title? Both China and Soviet Union claim to be “people’s
democracies”, would you agree? Why or why not? Explain your position and provide support for your argument. In making your determination of which country is an “ideal democracy”, what values did you include,
human rights, minority rights, quality of life, economy…??
Reminder: You must post an answer first before you’re able to read your classmates posts. Be sure to review the orientation module for the requirements for discussions. Your response should well written and
researched, and your response to your classmates should be just as substantial as your initial post. One or two sentence responses will not receive credit. Remember these are graded assignments, correct spelling,
punctuation and grammar are taken into consideration. Please do not use color, bold, special font or headings. There’s no need for a header (do not include your name, my name, class name, date etc.) simply click
“reply” and start typing. Your response should be in paragraph form. No need to retype the questions, I know what they are. And lastly…. don’t forget to cite your sources..
