Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.<br \/>\nToday, we\u2019re going to learn about one of the most ideal and revolutionary ideas that man has created, today, we\u2019re going to learn about a democracy.<\/p>\n<p>A democracy consists of the idea that a country\u2019s citizens participate in the election of who will govern them, and the political decisions that government takes. This is offered through the right to vote, when we are over-aged.<br \/>\nBut Democracy wasn\u2019t always like this, and it has experienced a long journey before becoming the way we know it today. Let\u2019s travel in time to see how it all started.<\/p>\n<p>The birth of the first democracy<\/p>\n<p>The word democracy comes from Greek word, meaning citizens\u2019 power. It\u2019s an idea that was first thought of a loong time ago, by citizens in Athens, a city in ancient Greece.<br \/>\nIt consisted of a government system where decisions were discussed and decided by a citizen\u2019s assembly. The members of the assembly were selected by a raffle, and the decisions were agreed after a majority of votes in favour. But what is true, is that neither women or slaves could vote, they had no rights.<\/p>\n<p>Some time after, the Greek\u2019s democratic ideas travelled to Rome. In Ancient Rome, they started to approve laws and chose their governors through citizens assemblies. Although, if you wanted to be part of these assemblies you had to be rich, noble and very powerful.<br \/>\nThe town couldn\u2019t decide yet, it still wasn\u2019t an authentic democracy.<\/p>\n<p>In Medieval times, democracy didn\u2019t exist. It was the kings and noblemen who made all decisions, they acted like real tyrants, like dictators who didn\u2019t care about the rest of the Town.<\/p>\n<p>This was until the end of the 18th century, where the French Revolution erupted. In 1789, French citizens faced and defeated the absolute Monarchy\u2026 From this moment on, the first real democratic ideologies took place in France, especially the right to universal suffrage, so, any citizen regardless of them being rich or poor, could vote and participate in their governors elections. Although, the universal part wasn\u2019t all true because women couldn\u2019t vote yet.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, these ideas, democracy, travelled to many other countries where it was also established as the governmental system.<\/p>\n<p>But, unfortunately, there have been and there still are differences and inequalities between people. For example, women couldn\u2019t vote in many countries until the 20th century, and some races, like the black race were and still are considered secondary citizens in many parts of the world.<br \/>\nDemocracies still need to be perfected\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Well, now we know democracy\u2019s history, and we\u2019ve learnt that it looks for general welfare and is based on respecting each other, and human equality, whether they are a man or woman, rich or poor, white or black. Everyone has the same rights, but the same duties too! So we have to respect the rules and norms set.<br \/>\nThis is a Democracy, and in Happy Learning, we love this ideology because we believe in equal rights, (we believe) in respect and solidarity, and we think that nobody is superior to another.<br \/>\nGoodbye friends!
