Is Strong Dictatorship Better Than Weak Democracy??

Question

Give reasons..

Answer 1

No way. Democracy even if weak gives people choices and freedokm. a strong dictatorship removes freedom and often evolves into a paternalistic nanny state where people have no choices, are told forcibly what they can't do and are given extremely harsh penalties if they dare to criticise the regime.

Answer 2

I thought we already are under a dictatorship and it's not a good idea to be under any kind of a dictatorship at all.
No a weak democracy is not the way to go either.
What we all need and not just in the U.S.A. either.
Every country deserves a great democracy in order to survive in this world. But not any kind of a dictatorship because that's no way to lead any country at all because it only brings on resentment and troubles that no one needs.
A true democracy is for all the people and a dictatorship is against all the people.
How would like it if you were not allowed to make any chooses for yourself but has to always follow the total rules of a dictatorship? Wouldn't you rather have a strong democracy that was always for all the people?
No, not a strong or weak dictatorship at all.

Answer 3

Strong Dictatorship like what happened in Singapore is good because the country can progress because there is only one making policies for the state unlike a Weak Democracy like in the Philippines where the politicians are always bickering making the country stagnant economically. A Dictatorship is better if not oppressive as compared to a Free Country where everybody can do anything even if wrong.

Answer 4

Dictatorship is better than democracy. Why i should say that, come to think of it i came from a democratic country, philippines, but i already want to be that our goverment goes to dictatorship, Dictatorship fine with all the deals, the level of hipocracy institutions goes fron in another conventional society, it gives a fear to a citizen to do the crime because it labeled as a tooh for a tooth then an eye for an eye. In a democratic goverment the people become radical so it cannot give you a progress eventhough theres a freedom, but do you think it is good for your country that you have a freedom from a hipocracy but you dont have a progress for your minality. Think of it. How I Wish that MRS. GLORIA ARROYO will go for the new government, i support you MADAM. Thankyou.

Answer 5

Yes. In a weak democracy, decisions can get bogged down by petty disagreements (sound familiar?). This can become a problem in a crisis, as no one can agree on what to do.

A strong dictatorship (not necessarily a tyrannical one, though) is better because a small group of people are making the decisions, and so the decisions are made faster.

Answer 6

No. With the freedom given by a democracy, a group of people determined to make the system work in their country (much like America's founding fathers) will rise to the challenge and help to build a stronger nation.

Answer 7

strong Dictatorship = law and order

Weak democracy = deception and lawlessness

Answer 8

Wow that is a very good question. Interested to see the outcome. I think dictatorship would be better in my opinion. Look how America is run now by GWB! its getting better day by day.

Answer 9

Good question!!!!!!! dictatorship is better i guess!!!! democracy is like a car without tyres.

Answer 10

there should be a balance. I see Cuba, N. Korea etc... and their people are so poor and they are like blind puppets. Then I take my country and it seems that will fall within it's self from so much freedom. I support my president now but God knows what will happen if we get some "free loving hippie"
