INTRODUCTION

THE DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES IN THE


COUNTRY ARE MEANT TO BENEFIT THE
PEOPLE. IF ONLY ITS RESOURCES, WORK
FORCE AND FUNDS WERE NEVER
EXPLOITED BY SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS,
FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR THE COUNTRY’S
MULTITUDE OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL
PROBLEMS WOULD NEVER BE IMPOSSIBLE.
• HOWEVER, SOME DEMOCRATIC LAWS ARE ON THE
BORDER OF BEING REMOVED
SUCH AS THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT WHICH
IS NOW BEING ABOLISHED IN SOME COUNTRIES LIKE
THE UK AS ITS GOVERNMENT ALREADY ISSUED SOME
RESTRICTIONS ON INFORMATION PRESENT IN THE
WEB. SINCE THE PHILIPPINES TEND TO FOLLOW MOST
OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE 1ST WORLD COUNTRIES,
THIS COUNTRY MAY ALSO DO THE SAME IN THE NEAR
FUTURE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, UNDEMOCRATIC
PRACTICES ARE PRACTICES THAT AFFECT THE
SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT IN MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS, USUALLY DENYING THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS
FOR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, PROPERTY
OWNERSHIP, RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, ETC. THESE
PRACTICES INCLUDE CORRUPTION, MARTIAL LAW,
AND ANY OTHER ORDINANCES THAT RESTRICT
FREEDOM AMONG ITS CITIZENS. ALTHOUGH THESE
WERE COMMON TRENDS IN THE COUNTRY IN THE
PAST, THEY WERE EVENTUALLY OVERSHADOWED
BY CORRUPTION AND POVERTY, WHICH ARE MAIN
PROBLEMS OF MOST 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES
TODAY.
FURTHERMORE, UNDEMOCRATIC PRACTICES
ARE STILL SEVERE PROBLEMS IN THE
COUNTRY BUT THERE ARE ALREADY FEW
WAYS IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH SUCH
PROBLEMS TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER
TROUBLES IN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
SOCIETY. AND ONE OF THOSE EFFECTIVE
WAYS IN DEALING WITH SOCIETAL PROBLEMS
IS THE EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
KEEP IN MIND
Undemocratic practice is a doctrine that is against or
in Disagreement with Democracy. Democracy is a political
system for choosing and replacing the government and
its leader. Electoral fraud can occur in advance of voting
if the composition of the electorate is altered. The legality
of this type of manipulation varies across jurisdictions.
Deliberate manipulation of election outcomes is widely
considered a violation of the principle of democracy
(Wayback Machine,2007).
Public funding is money that comes from the government,
often through taxes, that is used to help the public through
goods and services. The funds are gathered and distributed
in different levels such as the federal level, state level, and
even local level. While taxes are a primary resource, funding
can also come from fines and fees.
Public funding helps provide health programs, community
services, restoration programs, public service programs, and
even environmental programs. These programs benefit the
members of the community in which the funds are used. So,
Chase learns that when taxpayers pay taxes, the government
uses that money to help maintain and improve communities
through programs and services (Brianna Whiting).
In general, corruption is a form of dishonesty or
criminal activity undertaken by a person or
organization entrusted with a position of authority,
often to acquire illicit benefit (Wikipedia).

Democracy is a political system for choosing and


replacing the government in which everybody should
participate. Democracy is a great way of choosing our
leaders, but it proves to be hard to make rules that
every citizen will follow. Also, in democracy, the
majority wins, but this isn’t always a good thing. The
other side will be upset, creating violence and
corruption.
