Democracy in theory is substantially different from
democracy in reality. As long as government leaders and policy makers are
not sincerely interested in public service, but simply care about themselves, their families, and their interest groups, and as long as the
masses are not educated enough to know their rights and responsibilities as
citizens in a democratic civil society, there is no true democracy in any place in
the world. Digital revolutions leading to overthrowing a dictatorial
regime have rarely seemed to guarantee that the new regime is any better than
the previous one. Hence, democracy is not a static model of high-quality
sociopolitical system. Rather, it is a process of hard work from both the
ruler and the ruled.
