Question

“Democracy plays an important role to accommodate social diversity.” Support the statement with examples.

Answer 1

Democracy accommodates social diversities:

1. Democracy creates a system where different social groups can compete in a fair way.
2. It makes sure that every citizen gets a chance to be in the majority at some time.
3. In a democracy, different communities can express their problems and complaints peacefully.
4. The majority has to work together with the minority, so special rights are given to protect minorities.
5. For example, Belgium has successfully managed differences among its ethnic groups, which has reduced tensions.
6. In countries like India, social divisions have been managed by giving political power to certain backward classes.
