Democracy accommodates diversities in the following ways.
(a) Democracy develops competitive attitude: Democracy usually develops a procedure to conduct competition among the social differences.  This reduces the possibility of social tensions becoming explosive or violent.
(b) Democracy evolves mechanisms to negotiate: No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups, but we can certainly learn to respect these differences and can also evolve a mechanism to negotiate the differences.  Democracies are best suited to produce this outcome.
(c) Democracy represents the general view: The majority always needs to work with the minority so that governments function to represent the general view.  Hence, majority and minority opinions are not permanent.

It is seen that on an average dictatorial regimes have had a slightly better record of economic growth. i.e., 4.34%. But when we compare their record only in poor countries (4.28%), there is no difference. There is enough evidence to show that within democracies there can be very high degree of inequalities. In countries like South Africa and Brazil, the top 20 percent people take away more than 60 percent of the national income, leaving less than 3 percent for the bottom 20 percent population. 
Perhaps more than development, it is reasonable to expect democracies to reduce economic disparities. Democracies are based on political equality, but despite equality in the political area there are growing economic inequalities. the poor constitute a large proportion of our voters and no party would like to lose its votes. Yet democratically elected governments do not appear to be keen to tackle the problem of poverty. Democracies are expected to produce good government, but there is no guarantee that they would also produce development. As evidence shows, tire economic development depends on several factors. Such as country's size, global situation, co-operation from other countries, economic priorities adopted by the country etc.

The decision making process of the non-democratic rulers is very quick. They are also efficient in decision making and even in the implementation of the decisions. This all happens because non-democratic rulers do not have to bother about deliberation in assemblies or about the public opinion. On the other hand, democratic form of government is based on deliberation and negotiation. This cause the process slow. They followed procedures and their decisions may be more acceptable to the people and are more effective.

Democracy does not rule simply by majority opinion. 'Majority' does not mean a community in terms of religion, race or linguistic group. Rule by majority means that in case of every decision, or in case of every election, different people and groups can form a majority.

Regular, free and fair elections, open public debate on major policies and legislation, and citizens' right to information about the government and its functioning are the practices and institutions to measure democracies on the basis of the expected outcome.

(a) This statement is incorrect. If we compare democracy and dictatorship regimes between 1950 to 2000, we find countries under dictatorship to be more economically advanced. But, if we compare between less developed countries, the difference is negligible. For example, India being a third world nation, now becomes one of the fast growing economies of the world. On the other hand, Zimbabwe which was a fairly prosperous nation, has run into huge international debt with the progression of Robert Mugabe's rule. Thus, it is not always proper to say that the poor need dictatorship to become rich.
(b) This statement is incorrect. Democracy reduces the inequality of incomes between citizens. For example, the Minimum Wages Act, enacted by the Indian Government have helped in increasing the per capita income of the country. There by, making its citizens more prosperous and reducing inequality in incomes of citizens.
(c) This statement is not correct as the government in poor countries should maintain a balance between investment on poverty, food, clothing, health, education and in industries and infrastructure. A country needs to spend on all the sectors maintaining a balance, so that every sector helps the other sector to grow.
(d) This statement is not correct. In democracy, every citizen has one vote, political parties cannot avoid any social group. The political parties have to formulate policies which will benefit all the groups. But all these do not mean that conflicts are totally absent in a democracy. They can happen if the demands of one social group are against the demands of the other social group.
Democracy only avoids the possibility of such conflicts by giving everyone equal rights and freedom in the society.

The United States, Canada and Switzerland have the most stable democracies because there is 100 per cent literacy and they have very successful welfare schemes for all citizens.

Two valid points which promote dignity of women in a democratic government are as follows.
(a) Women empowerment through reservation and freedom
(b) Freedom to launch movements against ill practices

The following are the two provisions of Indian government to eradicate caste inequalities.
(a) Legal and moral rights have been granted to fight for equal status.
(b) The practice of untouchability has been banned.

Not only democracy but no other form of government can fully solve all economic and social problems, however it is democracy which creates situations that help citizens to solve their social and economic problems.

Democracies ensure that decision-making is based on norms and procedures.

Deliberation and negotiation

Democracy.

Democratic governments ensure transparency in the following ways.
(a) They make sure that decision-making will be based on norms and procedures.
(b) They allow every citizen to participate in decision-making, directly or indirectly through representatives.
(c) Citizens can examine and find out about the correctness of the procedure of decision-making using their right to information.
(d) They are accountable to the people.  If people are not satisfied with the way the government works, they have the right to change the government in the next general elections.
(e) They provide people with power to demand answers from their representatives and reduce the chances of corruption.

Complaints are treated as testimony to the success of democracy in the following ways.
(a) Complaints highlight the awareness of the people and their expectations from the system that has been put in place.
(b) It reflects that citizens are not overawed by those in power and can objectively and critically examine the difference they have made.
(c) It is a measure of their participation in public debates which democracy seeks to encourage.
(d) A public expression of dissatisfaction with democracy shows the success of the democratic project.
(e) It shows that people have transformed themselves from being subjects to being citizens.

(a) The working sphere of democracy:
(i) Promote equality among citizens
(ii) Enhance the dignity of the individual
(iii) Improve the quality of decision making
(iv) Provide a method to resolve conflict.
(b) Democracy is also having the fields of work are - social situations, economic achievement and the culture of the nation. It has great responsibilities, huge working area and the high population. So whatever work is done by democracy seems to be very small in terms of problems. That's why it is said that the most negative feature of democracy is that its examination never gets over.

(i) Democracies accommodate various social divisions. for example, Belgium has peacefully solved her ethnic problems and solved the differences.
(ii) All democracies usually develop a procedure to competition, i.e. conduct elections, power-sharing, etc. This reduces the possibility of tensions, due to social divisions, turning violent or explosive.
(iii) Democracy teaches people to respect the differences and resolves conflicts among different groups peacefully. In non-democratic countries, rulers either turn a blind eye to or suppress internal differences. For example, Sri Lanka. The plus point in democratic regime is the ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts.
(iv) A democracy is not just a rule by majority opinion. The majority always needs to work with the minority so that the government represents the general view.
(v) A democratic government ensures that the rule by the majority does not become autocratic in terms of religion, race or linguistic group etc. It tries that in case of every election, different persons and groups can form a majority. It tries to see that every citizens has a chance to be in majority at some point of time and is not barred on the basis of birth. All these things ensured by a democratic regime lead to a peaceful and harmonious life.
