Check out this great project! From the website:
“Democracy is arguably the greatest political buzzword of our time and is invoked by everyone – but what does it mean? Can it be defined, measured, safeguarded? Can it be sold, bought, and transplanted? Can it grow? Can it die? What does it mean to people who can’t even talk about it? What does it mean to people who don’t believe in it? What does it mean to you?”
They have a point, don’t they? This has confused and worried me for some time too, the use of the word democracy as if (a)it was understood the same by everybody and (b)its a battle between good and evil. The hypocrocy of its use is also troubling (bear in mind I’m British – see SCOPA).
