Democracy accommodates social diversities. Support the statement with examples.
Answer:
“Democracy accommodates social diversities”.
- Democracies develop a procedure to conduct their competition. This reduces the possibility of these tensions becoming explosive or violent.
- No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups. But we can certainly learn to respect these differences and can evolve mechanism to negotiate these differences.
- Ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus a definite plus point of democratic regimes.
- For example: Belgium has successfully negotiated differences among ethnic population. This reduces the possibility of tensions.
