your above-mentioned topic is a good one, but I think we should complete the topic related to democracy 1st, so let's complete 'democracy is a culture rather than a process'. then economy and politics. we will complete the maximum number of topics in a sequence inshAllah.
others please participate

Democracy is a culture rather than a process

Introduction

Democracy is not a machine that runs by itself once the proper principles and procedures are inserted. It is a developed culture that needs the commitment of citizens who accept the inevitability of conflicts as well as the necessity for tolerance. It is a tradition of accepting differences and spirit of compromise. Democracy is not a process of cyclical selection of candidates to rule the people but a process of building the trust necessary to resolve future problems. The frequently occurring military overtakes of governments in underdeveloped societies are evidence to the fact that democracy is not a process of electing candidates through election but it is a set of behaviors, practices and norms that define the ability of a people to govern themselves and to freely decide for their interests. In the culture of democracy, people are governed by their own freely chosen rights and rules. Whenever the concept of democracy is promulgated as a process it produces elected despots to rule people; democracy succeeds only when people internalize it as a culture and then use it as a tool to secure their rights.
