Society contains many good and bad aspects that show us we need government, but what is the best way to govern society? Many Americans strongly believe that a democratic capitalist nation is the best ways to govern people. But many cultures reject the idea of adopting this form of government because they believe that all people should be economically equal or that only one religion should be allowed in the country. In the Middle East, many countries believe that Islam should be the only religion and disgrace America because we allow freedom of religion. Other people believe that Communism is the best form of government because everyone is equal and, theoretically, there are no class systems. Although around the world there are many views on perfect government, America insists that democracy is the best form of government because it allows for independence and for everyone to have an equal opportunity to become successful. But America needs to understand that not every culture is the same, not everyone is the same, and some people simply respond better to different types of government.
America’s desire to spread democracy around the world has simply done just as much damage as the spread of communism from the Soviet Union. Now that America has made the same mistake multiple times of trying to spread democracy, hopefully Americans have learned that not all cultures embrace democracy and capitalism as much as Americans do. In fact the reason democracy works so well in the United States is because we are a diverse culture that teaches at a young age to accept diversity, and the American people establish democracy and capitalism themselves, it was not forced upon us. In the future Americans need to be able to see that the only reason for us to fight a war with the goal of establishing democracy will be to help a group of people already in the process of revolution; otherwise we will end up in yet another quagmire.
