Solidarity.

The Polish United Workers; Government headed by General Jaruzelski stood for dictatorial form of the government. Under General JAruzelski thousands of Solidarity members were put in prison. Freedom to organise, protest and express opinions was taken away.

Democracy did not spread evenly in all parties of the world. It was established first in some regions and then spread to other regions.

General Augusto Pinochet was the defence minister under Salvador Allende. After the coup of 1973, he succeeded him and became the president of Chile.

(i) The people could not choose or change their rulers.
(ii) There was no real freedom to express one's opinions, from political associations and organise protests and take action against the wrongdoer.

When a democratic government is overthrown by the military, the following freedoms of the people are usually taken away:
 (i) Military can do as it wishes and no one can question them
(ii) The government tortures and kills people who had opposed it during their coup. Many are put in the prison
(iii) People are denied freedom of speech. They are not allowed to express their views freely.

(b) My country may be small or poor. But my voice must be heard with equal respect because these decisions will affect my country.
The decision was taken at the global (V.N.O.) level affect all the countries in the world. Since poor and small nations need more international help for their development, their voice must be heard with equal respect. The enjoyment of veto power by 5 permanent members of the Security Council of V.N.O. is undemocratic since anyone of these countries can stall any decision. It means that the council cannot take a decision if any permanent member says 'no' to that decision. Some other international organisations like IMF (International Monetary Fund) and World Bank also are not working on democratic principles.

No, it is not good to elect a President for life. In that case, there will always be the likelihood of his becoming a dictator and run the administration according to his own will.
It is better to elect a new President after every few years. In that case, the President will feel responsible to the people and will work for their welfare.

In 1980, Poland was ruled by 'the Polish United Workers' Party'. In Poland no other political party was allowed to function.
That party, being pro-government, there was no form which can raise legal grievances of the workers and poor people. So an independent trade was necessary in Poland.
Trade unions are necessary to raise legal demands of the workers
