    Extractions: search support encyclopedia archives ... forum Democracy embodies the belief that all human beings ought to enjoy the opportunity for self government or autonomy. Demokratia - meaning 'rule of the people' - was used to describe the way some Greek city-states were governed in the fifth century BC. Citizens took part in regular mass meetings that made decisions about the affairs of the city. Those holding public office only did so for a short period. Sometimes these jobs were taken in turn, at others they were filled by lot or election.Since the seventeenth century in the West, democracy has taken on other meanings. 'Representative democracy' has become a familiar form. Citizens elect politicians and officers to 'represent' their interests and views. As states have grown in scope and scale - so matters have to be managed across great distances. It is one thing for 6000 people to come together in a mass meeting, quite another for 60 million. When we talk of democracy here, we are not only concerned with a way of choosing governments. We look to it as a quality that runs through the whole of life, to the relationships between us. This entails moving beyond a focus on individuals. We are social beings. We are what we are because of our interactions with others. We achieve what we do because we benefit from their work. Thus, if we are all to flourish then we must: Recognize that we share many common interests.

70. Foundations Of American Democracy
    The foundations of American democracy were rooted in the the European Enlightenmentand ideas adopted from several Native American tribes.  
    http://www.jlhs.nhusd.k12.ca.us/Teacher_Services/Shared/DForrest/USHistory/USHis
    
    Extractions: America was founded on the principle that "All men are created equal." The American colonists broke away from the English crown, and established a new republic without a king. The foundations of American democracy were rooted in the the European Enlightenment and ideas adopted from several Native American tribes. The reality of the new nation did not always match the beautiful words of the Founding Fathers. In most cases only white male land owners could vote, as women were denied the vote. African-Americans were enslaved. Thomas Jefferson, who penned the famous words of the Declaration of Independence, was himself a slave owner. In addition, the original Americans, Native Peoples were forced off their lands. However, over the next two centuries of American history many Americans would struggle to achieve these beautiful ideals. A destructive Civil War fought between the North and South to preserve the Union would result in Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. New amendments to the constitution would end slavery. In the late 19th century African- Americans would gain the right to vote, as would American women in the early 20th century. The extension of American democracy to broader groups of Americans has been fueled by movements for social justice. Workers organized into unions. The civil rights movement of the 1950's and 60s' helped African-Americans make good on promises made to them a century before. This movement also inspired the United Farm Workers Movement and the Women's Liberation Movement. The struggle to make good on the beautiful ideas expressed in our nation's Declaration of Independence has been legacy passed from each generation of Americans to the next. What role will your generation play in this historical drama?

75. Reclaiming The Foundations Of Democratic Development In Africa ...,Tade Akin Ain
    This is why to reclaim democracy and human rights in Africa, we mustreturn to the foundations of democratic development. I link  
    http://www.africaaction.org/rtable/tad0002.htm
    
    Extractions: 10 February 2000 1. Introduction I believe that it is imperative to begin our discussions on democracy and human rights in Africa with a very basic question: democracy for what? By asking this question, we will free ourselves from the overwhelming confusion that surrounds the use of several concepts such as "democracy", "human rights" and "governance". These notions have not only become trivialized today, but have been mis-appropriated by a wide range of interests such as some donors and multilateral institutions. To answer the question stated above, my position is that, democracy is for the promotion and advancement of the individual and collective well being of the different peoples of our nations and continent. This means, that whatever structures and processes that we struggle to put in place for democracy and human rights, these must recognize and embody the basic principles of inclusion, participation, freedom, justice and equity for all who find themselves in any of our African countries at any given time. This is important. These basic principles cannot be compromised even in one single case. Democracy as a participatory and inclusive social institution that guarantees freedom and social justice is a very recent occurrence in human history. It is also very fragile and subject to sudden reversals, threats and attacks from competing allegiances and identities that define the human condition in terms of bondage to the dictates of creed, race, ethnicity, class, social status and other petty narrow interests. We see the trends of such attacks and reversals every day in Africa. In many African countries, governments and regimes flagrantly breach the rule of law and human rights, which they have not only sworn to defend, but, in certain cases they had themselves established.

    http://www.civilrightsforum.org/foundations.htm
    
    Extractions: The language of the Telecommunications Act, FCC rule makings, digital technology, and information infrastructure does not seem to have much to do with democratic yearnings and human suffering. But communications policy can either constrict or empower community action. Communications policy is, therefore, a civil rights issue of concern to any foundation concerned about principles of equity and democratic engagement. Please allow me to explain by way of a story. Though the civil rights community, particularly the United Church of Christ and the NAACP led the charge, the victor was democracy. Though the skirmish was over arcane rules of standing and license renewals, the battle was for control over the public arena. The citizens of Jackson, Mississippi, black and white, could finally see the full ugliness of white racism and brutality. They could see, through the power and immediacy of television, the firehose sprays and the charging police dogs and the angry crowds. They could hear the eloquence of King and Fannie Lou Hamer.
