Democracy vs dictatorship

Democracy has been defined as government of the people, for the people and by the people. In a democratic situation, government is formed through elections. For this all the adult citizens cast votes and elect their representatives. Thus this is a people’s government and it is run through the representatives elected by the people.
Dictatorship is a form of government which has a centralization of power and is run by one political party. All power rests in the hand of a single person and people have no say in the matters of government.
Dictatorship and democracy have many similarities and a lot of differences. But I would like to prefer democratic form of government. There are three main advantages of democracy. First, in democratic form of government, people enjoy a great time of liberty. They enjoy every freedom of self expression. The people can criticize the government through the press and the platform. The people can dismiss the government when they want to dismiss. In this condition of government all the people are equally powerful. It is they who make and dismiss the government. Secondly, in democratic form of government all the people are treated equally. There is no difference on the basis of caste, creed or sex. All the citizens have equal freedom and opportunity. Even a sweeper can become the president of the country. Thirdly, democratic form of government is best suited for a country in peace times. Sound foundations of nation are laid through the democratic form of government. Everything is greatly and easily achieved through the cooperation of the people. Cooperation of the people is the basic principle of the democratic government.
In the democratic form of government, press and media are free to write and show anything about the government to the people. No is preferred by the government. Democracy gives the opportunities to everyone to come in the political fields. The people have the power to dismiss the government if the government is not doing well job. In the democratic form the government the winner party takes the charges of the government and the defeated one sits in the opposition. The defeated parties do protest against the plans which are disliked by them. The job opportunities are equally provided to all the people preferring their education. In democracy, the government provides funds for the poor people. That is why I like the democratic form of the government.
