Conflict
Conflict most commonly refers to:
Democracy
Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokratía, literally "rule of the people"), in modern usage, is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament. Democracy is sometimes referred to as "rule of the majority". Democracy is a system of processing conflicts in which outcomes depend on what participants do, but no single force controls what occurs and its outcomes.
Democracy
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
H. L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy (1949).
Democracy
If we are to be a great democracy, we must all take an active role in our democracy. We must do democracy. That goes far beyond simply casting your vote. We must all actively champion the causes that ensure the common good.
Martin Luther King III, Speech at the Democratic Convention (28 August 2008)
Democracy
The only way to practice democracy, is to practice democracy.
