my veiw on Democracy

In my eyes I view democracy as a place people are able to voice their own viewpoints without getting judged by their personal opinions. Although this is my view now It will forever be changing think that social media has had a large impact on the way people voice their opinions, as it may be seen as a place they can place their view point without getting judged or confronted meaning people aren’t keeping their opinion to their self’s as much in previous years when social media wasn’t big or a thing. From being familiar on the left and right side theories, I found that I believe statements said by the left side rather than the right side. Three individuals which changed mine as well as others view points on democracy, as Plato suggests that there must be different categories in society, when John Stuart mills goes against this theory and his opinion is that everyone should be equal in society and no one should be seen better.
