Sociology6-Government (Seung Won Lee)이승원


How would you like the government of the future look and work?

 

 

 I would like the government of the future to be similar to Pia Mancini’s idea. It seems her idea can solve the problems of the spoiled congressman. I saw a picture taken in Korea’s national assembly, where some congressman was watching porn pictures during working time. This was not the first time seeing congressman being out of control, but the picture made me shock. So after that I thought there must be some way to keep an eye on the congressman. In this context, Pia Mancini’s idea seemed great. By her idea, people who have power (the citizens and congressman) can keep hold of each other, so no either power gets out of control. This will be the likely government of the future. According to my research, unfortunately there was no similar idea like Pia Mancini going on in Korea. But if Pia and her colleagues work hard it is a matter of time the idea coming to Korea.

 

 

Is modern democracy the will of the people?

 

I think the ‘modern’ democracy is the will of the people compared to other era. It will be a whole miles for democracy to be perfectly the will of the people, but compared to the past, the modern democracy is doing well of being the will of people. At the past, almost everything was in the kings and noble’s hand, except when the whole people of the country being upset like the French revolution. But today people now don’t have to be so aggressive to change things. Although there are situations not so like the will of people, modern democracy is quite the will of people compared to the past.
