<p>Democracy in Middle East
It was a beautiful evening, when my friends and I decided to gather in a park
and enjoy a good time together. That evening was indeed one of the most
memorable days of my life when we, all old friends, rejoined after a long
period time apart. The hot topic during the whole meeting was the recent
revolution in Tunisia and the Egyptian success to get rid of their tyrant and
long-standing ruler. Everyone had a different view regarding this matter;
however, what we all had in common was the potential impact of a democratic
revolution in the Middle East and especially in our own country, Jordan. I was
saying to my friends that the revolution will bring about happiness and
satisfaction in our lives, while another was of the view that democracy will
only add the ‘Democratic Republic’ to our country’s current name. However, the
majority believed a positive change would follow democracy in Middle Eastern
region. That night when I left for home, the only thought I took with me was
how could democracy affect my personal life?
In a quest to understand the impact of democracy over our lives, I began to
search online for articles on how democracy will improve our living standards,
boost the national economy, and allow for more businesses and work
opportunities. I got different answers from several websites. Many of them
explained how democracy would allow us to be recognized as a more legitimate
form of free government at an international scope. Other sites explained that
Democracy is a change in the ruling system of the country and so the entire
structure of laws and regulations will be revised; moreover, democracy would
change the faces that govern and determine the fate of our country. After
receiving many points of view from the Internet I became aware that democracy
has its advantages for everyone and every individual has a different perception
about its likely impacts on the life of the common.
I personally believe that people back in Jordan are already living in much
better conditions than many other so-called democratic countries of the world.
However, I can still find many examples of the democratic system which have not
been successful in changing the fate of the poor people living in these
countries. What I know about democracy and the democratic governmental system
is that in a perfectly democratic government, the ruler is not a single person
or a body of persons; rather the rulers are the people of the nation. The
valuable part of a democratic government is that justice is for one and all.
Everyone is treated equally before the law and there is no discrimination
between anybody. Democracy is also one of the most widely used forms of
governmental systems in the world, where the people of the nation vote for
their selected individuals who then represent their stake in an organization.
Representatives will also oppose the unfavorable policies of the government and
ensure that the every step is taken in the best interest of the nation.
Even if all of the above changes are made in my country’s administration
system, I think either there will be no significant change or our living
conditions will deteriorate. I am of the opinion that democracy is not the
entire solution. What is most important are the people we choose for our
democratic structure, those who will be our representatives and be given full
control over the issues that directly affect our lives.
The recent movement of implementing democracy in Tunisia followed by the
revolution of Egypt has caused a stir in the entire Middle East region. The
movement started in Tunisia removed the long lasting and tyrannical period of
“One man rule” and brought about an introduction to the democratic system. The
impact of the movement was so hard that the people of Egypt, exhausted from the
“one man rule” form of political system, came out onto the roads and protested
until the ruler was forced to leave and move out.
It is understandable that the lives of people living in the above-mentioned
countries have changed altogether. This is because both the pay rate and
living conditions of people living in Tunisia, as well as Egypt, were not of a
good standard. The people were leading a poor life and they were not being
paid enough to improve their living condition. The rate of unemployment was
very high in these regions. Many graduates failed to get the jobs that they
deserved. Fortunately, a much-needed change has occurred and time will tell us
whether democracy will be able to take care of all the issues of the public.
However, I hardly expect to find any major change in my personal life except
the few mentioned earlier. I feel the good leaders, who are taking every
possible step to ensure that the public is happy, already rule the country.</p>
