thank you for the explanation. ( first post ), this is what i believe i have missed in my politics class, and argued against Aristotle well. Question now is, how can it be a form of representative democracy if not everyone participates? Like my neigborhood who are poor, no college ed, and works everyday? Lastly, my prof. saved Rousseau the last case of studies - Direct democracy. Do you recall what was the problem against it ?

I'd like to add that people think that our government should be in constant evolution towards some better form of democracy. I don't think so, I think we've already strayed dangerously far from the path that our fore fathers set for us. If we already had freedom where else can we evolve to but less freedom leading to oppression? For me the two major parties are Libertarian & the Constitution party. Your direct representation is your state representative. Vote every two years.

"No one branch contains absolute power, rather, each branch is balanced off of the others creating a system of checks and balances to protect the principals of democracy."library . thinkquest . orgIt's lengthy but it's a better decription then I could do.

"What they came up with was a representative democracy wherein elected representatives rather than direct rule by the people rule the government. These representatives are elected with the idea that they will accurately represent their constituents, but in case some dont, the U.S. government is divided into three branches to keep corruption in check. These three branches are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches."

"Modern American democracy is in the form of a democratic republic or a representative democracy. A representative democracy came about in the United States because the colonists were tired of taxation without representation and wanted a more fair system where the people had more say in the rule of the country. They did not desire the Athenian form of democracy however; as they feared it would give the people too much power and would lend control of the government to the uneducated masses."

The average PR person has nothing to do with this. Propaganda is not PR. Propaganda is propaganda. Public Relations is everything from publicity of an actor to creating a campaign for a corporation/company to donate money to charity. Aren't those good things??? Ya know, holding companies liable to public opinion??? You are all the ones who are brainwashed by this stereotype of how things really run. Idiots read a book!

There are advantages of exploiting music and sounds in the state of war, its just simply business and corpitism in America. It is good for you to observe such things. There are many things i would like to question, but i let your nature take your own course. ( wanted to vote for Ron Paul, or Chuck baldwin, but ended with Barr) |
