Democracy creates stability in a society

I agree with the statement to a certain extent.Firstly lets look at the definition of democracy. Democracy is a form of government of the people by the people. The extraordinary huge achievements of democracy are due to the fact that every individual is not authoritatively barred from developing his or her ideas or skills, on the contrary, democracy unleashes the giant that is in each of us and then incites us to pull our country to better and higher grounds. I do not feel that democracy totally creates stability. There are other factors, too. But democracy is the root and unerlying basis of stability in society. How the country is to be run will be determined by the people. This results in a stable social structure that would attract more foreign investors and businessmen which will in turn give rise to a stable economy with the country not needing to worry about trade and commerce. This shows that the country can become both socially and economically stable because of democracy.

But I also think that democracy as its fair share of disadvantages. For example, in the case of Sri Lanka, there is a constant struggle between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. The Tamil Tigers were mainly started to oppress the government as the government was oppressing the Tamils. The government was biased against the Tamils as shown in the act of it changing the official language to Sinhalese. This act disadvantaged all the Tamils( majority) who did not know how to read or write Sinhalese as all the official documents were in Sinhalese. The biased Sinhalese resulted in a biased government which was elected democractically. This shows that a democractic government can create instability in a country as in can trigger instability in society.

In conclusion,I agree with the statement,Democracy creates stabilty in society. I think that a country that is ruled by democracy should be able to know how to handle conflicts and establish a peaceful and stable society for the people to live in. Also, most of the top countries in the world are democracies, like Singapore and Korea, so, I think that democracy almost always creates stability in a society and should be adopted in all the countries in the world.
