LEARN The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy to STOP Current Worldwide 'Creeping Totalitarianism' Now Threatening LASTING Democracy!YOU are in the flow of living history! The future of Human Rights and Democracy worldwide is being set RIGHT NOW, and YOU can help make sure they stop eroding away! LEARN DEMOCRACY 101 and Join a Worldwide Movement of EDUCATED Citizens Standing Up in SOLIDARITY to Ensure Human Rights and Democracy Last Forever on Their Firm TRADITIONAL, HISTORICAL, SCIENTIFIC and LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS!Learn How YOU Can Save Your Religious Freedom and Make Democracy Last Forever!Millions in Western nations who still hold the traditional Western values all our Human Rights and democratic freedoms were historically and logically built on (and need to last) have been made extremely uncomfortable by massive social and legal changes to Western societies over the last decades, which are now happening with increasing frequency and with increasingly anti-democratic and "totalitarian" character (the "total-control, belief-control" character typical of oppressive totalitarian States which do not understand that Democracy is government "of the people, by the people, for the people"). This effect is worse in some places than others, but 'Creeping Totalitarianism' is a worldwide trend gradually but increasingly undermining Human Rights and Democracy from their very foundations. In many jurisdictions for some time it has effectively become the case that citizens are only "free" to hold traditional Western values privately, in a home or church or synagogue, as long as those Traditional Western Values no longer influence public policy. But since, as demonstrated from undisputed historical (and scientific) facts and sound logic in DEMOCRACY 101, all Human Rights and democratic freedoms depend ultimately on the tried and true Western values they were built on, this means public policy is gradually becoming increasingly totalitarian in character. So now, as the anti-traditional, anti-democratic momentum of decades increases, in more and more places and professions people (even elected representatives) are being BULLIED INTO SILENCE about their traditional (democracy-grounding) values. In one region more advanced in 'Creeping Totalitarianism' (WARNING US WHERE THE REST OF THE WEST IS HEADING), the government just passed a new law that once strictly implemented will mean parents will no longer even be "free" to practice and teach traditional values AT HOME without LIVING IN FEAR about being REPORTED for TRADITIONAL childrearing in their democracy's FOUNDING VALUES which the radically anti-traditional (and 'Creeping Totalitarian') government no longer considers "in the best interests of the child" but rather as grounds to take children away from their parents! ALL THIS MADNESS is based on politicians and the voters who vote for them both being too UNEDUCATED in the history and logic underlying Human Rights and Democracy itself to know how to make Democracy last, and this sound HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION in a "crash course" called DEMOCRACY 101 is offered as the cure.*We can no longer afford to take for granted that Democracy, religious freedom, and Human Rights will just last if we do nothing to make them last*Any democracy that wants to REMAIN a democracy must keep its politicians accountable to democratic foundations and teach these to its citizens. OUR WESTERN DEMOCRACIES HAVE UTTERLY FAILED ON BOTH COUNTS.*There is no fruit without roots; we cannot long keep the fruit of Human Rights and Democracy without deep roots in the Traditional Western Values from which they historically and logically grew in the first place*DEMOCRACY 101 is thoroughly NON-PARTISAN, and merely calls ALL political parties to get back to their democracy's ROOTS if they have strayed*DEMOCRACY 101 details historically proven STRATEGIES for getting democratic governments compromised by totalitarian thinking to get back to their foundations.

The information contained in this book contradicts nearly everything you've been led to believe about democracy and "representative government." Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, "Tragedy and Hope 101" reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history. However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system, and those who serve it, has become nearly impossible to hide. Awareness and resistance are growing...Tragedy is yielding to hope.

What is democracy? How does it work? What are its strengths – and its shortcomings? Two-thirds of the world’s population, in over 100 countries, live under governments that claim to be democratic. Yet few of those governments live up to the ideals of democracy, or respect its key principles and institutions. Here, author Eamonn Butler defines democracy, explains its purposes, and shows the difference between genuine democracy and the many sham versions that currently exist. He outlines the history of democracy and the benefits it brings. But he also points out the many myths about it that blind us to its limitations. And he explains why it’s important to have a clear understanding of democracy – and how easily it can be lost or abused when people do not properly understand it. Importantly, he asks why so many people today have become disillusioned with democratic politics – and what, if anything, can be done about it. This lucid and fascinating book provides a straightforward introduction to democracy, enabling anyone to understand it – even if they’ve never experienced it.

Democracy And Ontology written by Irena Rosenthal and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-01-25 with Law categories.
This book investigates the relationship between liberal democracies and ontology, that is, philosophical claims about the constitution of agents and the social world. Many philosophers argue that ontology needs to be avoided in political and legal philosophy. In fact, political liberalism, a highly influential paradigm founded by the philosopher John Rawls, makes the avoidance of ontology a core ambition of its 'political, non-metaphysical' programme. In contrast to political liberalism, this book argues that attending to ontological disputes is essential to political and legal philosophy. Illuminating, criticising and developing ontological arguments does not only enhance our understanding of justice, but also highlights key features of democratic citizenship. The argument is built up by bringing together three traditions of thought that have so far not been confronted with one another: political liberalism, the work of Michel Foucault, and the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Donald Winnicott. The book also investigates more concrete implications of ontological disputes by drawing on several case studies: a Dutch political-legal debate about greeting rituals; an American conflict about the legalisation of religious freedom; and the struggles for resilience of two American social movement groups.

Are you disappointed in democracy? Or do you still believe in democracy? When the U.S. presidential election triggered riots, the Burmese people shed blood for democracy! Is democracy an unshakable universal value or an over-glamorized majority violence? Professor of the History Department of the Free University of Berlin, Germany, used 101 questions to take us to a new understanding of democracy. In early 2021, after the U.S. presidential election, some people refused to recognize the election results and went to the Capitol to protest, triggering riots. Less than two months later, far away on the other side of the world, Myanmar's real leader Aung San Suu Kyi was taken into custody by the military government, and the people of Myanmar took to the streets to fight for democracy.

Taking a comparative approach, Alan T. Wood traces the evolution of democracy from its origins in prehistoric times and describes democratic growth in thirteen Asian countries from Japan in East Asia to Pakistan in South Asia and examines key issues such as: * How does the democratic experience in Asia, in countries with unique and totalitarian political traditions, compare with democracies worldwide? * Is the aspiration to freedom universal or is it a product of western ideas and institutions?

This book exposes a very real threat to America’s future—a threat far more serious than any foreign enemy could ever pose. The most serious danger that the United States now faces, says William Damon, is that our country’s future may end up in the hands of a citizenry incapable of sustaining the liberty that has been America’s most precious legacy. In Failing Liberty 101, he argues that we are failing to prepare today’s young people to be responsible American citizens—to the detriment of their life prospects and those of liberty in the United States of the future. He identifies the problems—the declines in civic purpose and patriotism, crises of faith, cynicism, self-absorption, ignorance, indifference to the common good—and shows that our disregard of civic and moral virtue as an educational priority is having a tangible effect on the attitudes, understanding, and behavior of large portions of the youth population in our country today. The author places the blame squarely on today’s grown-up generation of parents, educators, opinion leaders, and public officials for failing to prepare young Americans properly for futures as citizens in a free society. He explains why, unless we begin to pay attention and meet our challenge as stewards of a priceless heritage, our nation and the future prospects of all individuals dwelling here in years to come will suffer, moving away from liberty and towards despotism—and this movement will be both inevitable and astonishingly quick.

Teaching for Democracy in an Age of Economic Disparity addresses the intersections between democratic education and economic inequality in American society. Drawing upon well-established theoretical constructs in the literature on democratic citizenship as well as recent events, this volume outlines the ways in which students can not only be educated about democracy, but become actively engaged in the social issues of their time. The collection begins with an examination of how the confluence of capitalism and education have problematized the current model of democratic education, before transitioning into discussions of how teachers can confront economic disparity both economically and civically in the classroom. The authors then introduce a variety of ways in which teachers can engage and empower students’ civic action at all grade levels. As a final component, the volume explores new avenues for civic action, including the use of social media for democratic engagement in schools and opportunities for critical reflection and cross-cultural dialogue. This book is a valuable resource for both scholars interested in the research on democratic education and practicing teachers wishing to turn their students into critical, active citizens.

The Democracy Sourcebook offers a collection of classic writings and contemporary scholarship on democracy, creating a book that can be used by undergraduate and graduate students in a wide variety of courses, including American politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political philosophy. The editors have chosen substantial excerpts from the essential theorists of the past, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and the authors of The Federalist Papers; they place them side by side with the work of such influential modern scholars as Joseph Schumpeter, Adam Przeworski, Seymour Martin Lipset, Samuel P. Huntington, Ronald Dworkin, and Amartya Sen. The book is divided into nine self-contained chapters: "Defining Democracy," which discusses procedural, deliberative, and substantive democracy; "Sources of Democracy," on why democracy exists in some countries and not in others; "Democracy, Culture, and Society," about cultural and sociological preconditions for democracy; "Democracy and Constitutionalism," which focuses on the importance of independent courts and a bill of rights; "Presidentialism versus Parliamentarianism"; "Representation," discussing which is the fairest system of democratic accountability; "Interest Groups"; "Democracy's Effects," an examination of the effect of democracy on economic growth and social inequality; and finally, "Democracy and the Global Order" discusses the effects of democracy on international relations, including the propensity for war and the erosion of national sovereignty by transnational forces.
