Extract

Democracy is a very wide topic and deserves to be studied from an unbiased perspective. Liberal democracy has shown to be evolutionary and revolutionary at the same time. We can not deny that democracy is fundamental for the common good and it is necessary for society. But we should not be conformist and let formal democracy go against its own principles. Criticism is important to build a better political environment, and in democracy it is its fundamental factor.
North American democracy is no longer the most evolved one, because of the disequilibrium between Oligarchy and People. Civil society is weaker in occident than in Europe because of the presence of an atomized society. The principles of liberal democracy are being violated by a corporate society that undermines the meaning of the word democracy. This way, present formal democracy does not represent liberal democracy's principles because the majority has no power on the political arena and oligarchy uses the democratic process for its own good.
