Strengths And Weaknesses Of Democratic Government

The challenges that the country should face in the next years to accelerate and improve this democratization process are to ensure collective and individual rights for Indigenous people, a large group of people in the country, improve the judiciary system in cases of maladministration, allow and fund the political participation of independent candidates, professionalize the police forces, end rampant corruption in districts due to excessive powers of the authorities and drug cartels and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor by assuring balancing the salaries of public officials. These are ambitious goals but once the democratization process has been started it cannot be blocked especially if it is part of the national and international interest. Improving the transparency and public administration of a country increase its efficiency as well as its weight on the international community so the ability to make a difference when decisions are made at a global level, the goal that every country (not so) secretly

“...We govern our children without their consent...Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, human, civilizing government of this Republic…” (Doc B, Albert J. Beveridge). I disagree with this black and white view of the world. The Filipinos are grown people capable of making the best decision for themselves. Children are not (due to their undeveloped frontal lobes). They do not need America to save them. They wanted freedom enough to attempt war with Spain, a global power, so they have earned that

The United States is the oldest recognized democracy in the modern world. It has stayed strong for such a long time because this type of government protects the interest of citizens, promotes equality, and prevents a monopoly of power. The American Democracy, like all systems of government, has strengths and weaknesses in relation to the power, politics, and people in the country.

Late spring of 1898, The United States went to war with Spain in Cuba and the Philippines. We attacked the Spanish in the Philippines who had a large military presence there. The United States had an easy victory and suddenly became a major world power. The reasoning for this attack was because of the bad treatment of the Cubans by their Spanish masters.

Americans, again, too often don't succeed to pay attention of all of the globe's difference. The Philippines is very improper. My spouse is Japanese people. Strolling there we have had unknown people stop us and tell her she is a shame. At a jazz music show couple of decades, back stones were tossed at us. That is their lifestyle. I do not carry this

In this argument, I believe the failures of the initial Philippine colonial project not only retrogressed the islanders back into their primitive informal aristocracy but actually help unify and modernize a regime that was the complete reversal of American intentions. The result of the type of Filipino government after reconstruction were significantly constrained by Anti-Imperialists tensions from the metropole and continued to reshape itself by many additional constraints from the Filipino legislation. Only about fifty years later of political administration would enable the development of an autonomic government.

“The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting” (Charles Bukowski). When considering the type of government to run a country, one must analyze the pros and cons of each. The United States government claims to be driven by representation, but is this really true? Does America defend their assertions? Do the people really make the decisions or is that just what the government tells us? On the other hand, the Philippines were controlled and regulated entirely by a dictator, Ferdinand Marcos. Through his corruption and power he was able to forcefully govern the economy and impose his philosophy on the people. Is this method

 For the past few days since the embarrassing hostage crisis that has brought international shame again to our country, it has been reflecting on how we as a Filipino people can collectively move forward from this incident. In cyberspace, many people continue to express anger, rage, disappointment, frustration and sadness about how our government particularly the Philippine National Police (PNP)

Another is that Filipinos have a culture of apathy and tend to use religion incorrectly and passively. People depend on religion and settle for what’s okay. In addition, the initial reaction of Filipinos to change is resistance, and this is why the country does not necessarily progress, or at least, progress at a continuous rate. Then, countries like Spain and Portugal only rode the “economic tiger” after “they realized that the only way to survive was change” (3.Y). Plus, according to another critic, the Philippines already had the experience of being under the parliamentary system during the time of Marcos which only resulted in a People Power Revolution. So why should the country bother going back to that? (4.Y)

To some significant extent, while this thesis can be, and has been, challenged on the basis of scholarly analysis . I will argue that most men are usually and politically good to some critical extent. However, few men’s acts with moral reflections on collective justices. Rather, often acts of personal inherited cruelty on issues of fundamental importance ultimately. The political culture of universal cruelty through various Western pressures around the world for regime change is core lubrication for the modern terrorism, refugees and immigrants. Although, some may suggest it's regrettable, while others see it as simply Europe mistaking decisions, particularly on the Middle East invasion, past intervention and the ongoing wars on regime change in Syria. It's

Looking back to the previous government systems in different periods in Philippine history, we can see that our present government system is somehow shaped and patterned from the previous systems that prevailed in our country. Pre – historically we have seen how they established their government and basically, we can say that it is far more primitive than the present system that we have. However, the basic principles like the consultation of the datus to the elders can somehow be seen in the present by the presence of political advisers where our president consults aside from the members of the senate and the congress. The barangay system

Throughout history different types of instrumental regimes have been in tact so civilizations remained structured and cohesive. As humanity advanced, governments obligingly followed. Although there have been hiccups from the ancient times to modern day, one type of government, democracy, has proven to be the most effective and adaptive. As quoted by Winston Churchill, democracy is the best form of government that has existed. This is true because the heart of democracy is reliant, dependent, and thrives on the populaces desires; which gives them the ability for maintaining the right to choose, over time it adjusts and fixes itself to engulf the prominent troubling issues, and people have the right of electing the person they

When talking about Philippine Administrative System, first thing that comes to mind is about the government and its political divisions in the country. It is about the nations’s political hierarchy such as the central government, provinces, municipalities and barangay. However, these divisions and subdivisions can be attributed to our past history. It is not a plant that simply blooms from nowhere. The Philippine Administrative System is dynamic, shaped and evolved through time. From Spanish colonial period to the present administration, the mode of bureacracy is adopted, patterned and improved depending on the needs and wants of the administration. Needs, in terms of the welfare of the society. Wants,

In modern times, the Philippines has been a central ally in the United States’ Asian and Pacific policies. The government structure is similar to that of the United States, including a legislative, judicial, executive branch that independent in their roles. Since becoming a nation independent from the United States, the Philippines has seen its share of success and failure. In the past three years the government has dealt with natural disasters, terrorism, and Chinese aggression. While the Philippine and United States governments have generally been cordial and cooperative, the Philippine president is currently weighing the decision to cut ties with the United States and align his country with China.

Political dynasty is a well known method of politicians in the Philippines wherein the members of the family is made also a member of the government in order for them to not lose power but to gain more power. This act is an unfair and unjust because the government is not a business that a family can run by themselves, but the government is for all and other people should be given chances wherein they can be the one that leads a community.
