Democracy

Last week we have the opportunity to celebrate democracy;we have to choose our new governor and several other leaders.I said celebrate,because we have the luck of choosing the people we want to be in the government;we are free to vote and express our willingness.We live in a country that has suffered one of the bloodiest dictatorships in Latin America;fortunately those days are gone but an important lesson was left:protect democracy.I know that there is a lack of trust in our politicians,and I think they deserve this.It is a shame that we are a third world country,that we need to “grow up” and become huge, and that there are some(the vast majority of them)politicians that put democracy at risk.I said it is a shame,because in my opinion democracy is the best socio-political system,or at least the less worse.I think that it is the best system,because there is freedom(or it should be)of choosing and being.We have to give an opportunity to this system of government;it is not easy to deal with democracy,because I think we are not accustom to being free of choosing and giving our opinion.But why do I think that democracy is the best system?Because I think that the right and the left in politics are the same because both of them impose of rules:there´s is not freedom nor respect.In totalitarian governments, people must do whatever the people in power wants them to do;on the other hand,in socialist government there is a “virtual” freedom but one have to do everything that is good for the society´s welfare.In both systems there are tyranny and lack of freedom and respect for each individual.I think that as a young country,we have to defend democracy and keep it.We as young people have to exercise our right to choose what we want to and to be part of the society.I know that we are sick of all this corruption and injustice,but by trying to respect this system of government,by trying to defend our rights and by behaving in the right way,with respect and honesty, we can change this reality.I think that we must to raise our moral values,we have to educate people,which I think is the most important thing to build up a strong society.I know that this sound as a cliché,that it sounds like the words of a politician would say,but I think it is the truth,or at least it is my truth.I`m very hurt by the way thing are,it seems that everything is rotten and nobody gives a damn about anything.I don´t really care about politics, but I know it is important and I do believe that a good democracy,conducted by honest people is the answer to our problems.
