Does Democracy really work ? or may be I should rephrase, does it work to take the whole socity or the mankind towards a better life?
Let's define: Opinion of masses controling the path forward - Democracy. I personally still think that it is so far the best way that we know and most successful as well, judging from the success of the western progress and recent progress of India/Brazil etc. Also, leaving in US for last 12 yrs. and learning and realizing the power of the polotical process has made me aware of the power of democracy in keeping the society rolling.
But, I'm starting to believe, that in order for the Democracy to work you need to have proper education. Good communication is absolutely necessary. Therefore, as technology pushes the boundaries of communication more and more, Democracy would work better and better.
On the other hand, no creative art can be created by democratic process, it is always done in a completely non-democratic manner. There is no art form which was created by a team of people through a democratic process, you always needed a director or a top boss to pick and choose from different ideas to achieve the final shape.
