REAL DEMOCRACY

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.
