Week 5 Blog Post #1 Web Lecture

Democracy and Dialogue

Out of the five types of democracy that are discussed in the web lecture, I like participatory democracy the most. This type of democracy requires people do not only vote but to get involved by participating in activities that will help the group achieve its goal. They must be knowledgeable about the opposing group’s ideas and opinions and have a broader view on topics and see through the others eyes. If someone shows great participation in all aspects of an election then I think that they are very much capable of fulfilling the role of a leader to the people of a community.
