Argumentative essay.

Democracy: between benefits and doubts.

When Cleisthenes developed the concept of democracy in ancient Athens(Greece), the idea was to allow Greek men to elect their rulers.

Today, democracy still gives this chance to citizens, however, the results have changed due to many factors that have become problems in modern-day societies.

Democratic governments have failed. Inequality is constant in modern societies. And it is not a problem in socialists countries, but in democracies. Poverty rates are increasing, even in the United States. Rich people are getting richer, the few. Poor people are getting poorer, the many.

The economy is a big issue because people still work hard but have less money to buy things. Inflation is higher and the creation of jobs does not grow at the same rate.

Social justice is a big question mark in modern democracies. We just have to see the racial problems in the United States and the lack of deep solutions that make Americans taking the streets to protest.

Young people are dropping school because they have to get jobs to help their families. Young people are not as interested in school as in the past. The quality of education is not the same. Teachers are not as well prepared as they used to be, and that is reflected in the number of desertions.

Democracy is facing tough times in many countries. People are not trusting their representatives and politicians. Many corrupt acts have been discovered and in simple terms, officials are not showing the skills and commitment to lead the country.

Democracy has to change. Yes, but what is our next option?
