Group - 3 Chapter : WHAT IS DEMOCRACY? WHY DEMOCRACY? ENRICHMENT

ACTIVITY

1. In 2004, a report published in USA pointed to the increasing inequalities in that country.
Inequalities in income reflected in the participation of people in democracy. It also shaped their
abilities to influence the decisions taken by the government. The report highlighted that:

(a) If an average Black family earns $ 100 then the income of average white family is $162. A White
family has twelve times more wealth than the average Black family.

(b) In a President's election 'nearly nine out of 10 individuals in families with income over $75,000
have voted. These people are the top 20% of the population in terms of their income. On the other
hand, only 5 people out of 10 from families with income less than $ 15,000 have voted. They are the
bottom 20% of the population in terms of their income.

(c) About 95% contribution to the political parties comes from the rich. This gives them opportunity
to express their opinion and concern, which is not available to most citizens.

(d) As poor sections participate less in politics, the government does not listen to their concerns -
coming out of poverty, getting job, education, health care and housing from them. Politicians hear
most regularly about the concerns of business and the most rich.
Write a brief note on 'Democracy and Poverty' using the information given in this report but using
examples from India
2. Consider the following facts about a country and decide if you would call it a democracy. Give
reasons to support your decision.

a) All the citizens of the country have right to vote. Elections are held regularly.

b) The country took loan from international agencies. One of the conditions for giving loan was that
the government would reduce its expenses on education and health.

d) Several organisations have given a call for peaceful demonstrations and nation wide strikes in the
country to oppose these policies. Government has arrested these leaders.

e) The government owns the radio and television in the country. All the newspaper have to get
permission from the government to publish any news about governments policies and protests.
