On the basis of which values, will it be a fair expectation that democracy should produce a harmonious social life? Explain.
Democracy accommodates various social divisions:
- Democracy usually develops a procedure to conduct its competition. This reduces the possibility of these tensions becoming explosive.
- In democracy, we respect differences and we can evolve mechanisms to negotiate the differences.
- Ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus, a definite plus point of democratic regimes.
