After World War I,nearly all of the regimes all around the World changed.Most
of the countries in Europe preferred democracy. One of those
which preferred democracy was Turkey, which was a monarchy.Democracy
allows people to vote in elections so they have a right to choose candidates who will administer
the republic instead of ordinary people.Yet,this situation caused some
discussions in society.Some people believe that real democracy is only possible
in countries where there
are educated voters.However,it is a completely wrong idea because real
democracy is constituted by different ideas from diverse classes.Therefore,to
form a real democracy, we have to pay attention to different kinds of classes.
To begin with, as mentioned in history books, the Republic which was based on
democracy was declared in 1923 and this situation gave the public a chance to choose candidates. According to
the definition of democracy, everyone has a right to vote because if an
undesirable circumstance occurs
it will affect all of the people in society.For example,in the middle ages,certain people
who were educated had a right to choose the administrators and it was an unfair situation
because the rest of the public didn’t have a right to vote but mostly they were affected
To continue,we cannot assume uneducated people are ignorant
because ignorance cannot be dealt with through education. There are many people
who are uneducated in society and they behave according to the law in contrast to some educated people.
Therefore, education cannot determine ignorance. For instance, Bill Gates is an uneducated person so
can we assume he is ignorant? And can we say that he doesn’t have the right to
vote?
Finally,some people think that uneducated voters assess a
candidate according to outward appearance,not according to ideas but it is a
completely wrong idea because we cannot deem uneducated people ignorant. Uneducated
and ignorant people are completely different from each other in terms of
definition.Thus,we don’t have a right to say that uneducated people should not
be allowed to vote because it is necessary for real democracy.
In conclusion,after World
War I all of the regimes were destroyed and governments chose a new regime
which wouldbe appropriate for their countries.After this situation democracy became the
most common regime all around the World but to form a real democracy, we have
to pay attention to not only educated people but also uneducated people.
