Democracy And Citizenship In Mexico Today

Democracy and citizenship in Mexico today

In this essay, he intends to expose the "democracy" and the "citizenship" that we exercise in today. I will start from the simplest and most common practice that we exercise in the Republic of the United Mexican States: the electoral votes, since it has been, is and will be the most palpable practice in the country.

Before addressing the plot, we need to build our concept of "citizenship and democracy", for this I will start from the respective etymological definitions. The word "citizenship" is formed with Latin roots and means "quality of right to be a citizen". Its lexical components are: Civitas "City of City, Roman citizenship", -anus "suffix that indicates belonging", but the suffix -ia¬ "quality". While "democracy" arises from the Greek demos "people" and Kratein "govern" that make up a solid demonstration of this "the people of the people by the people and for the people".

It is logical and easy to assume that the practice of democracy coupled with citizens is the way to assert a flourishing future for the Republic, but these concepts are penetrated with that of the American politicby the people and for the people ”where it ratifies this as the concrete form of government. For that I emphasize the lack of own concepts, so I will dedicate myself to analyzing their practice in Mexico.

I will start by extracting democratic practice in the country in two simple ways to address.

The first is citizen participation, it is necessary to consider that, if our nation is democratic and an optimal citizenship is exercised. Why are there no citizen applicants? That is, each applicant must be affiliated with a political party, thus excluding citizens of poor sectors who know their own skin the difficulties of the nation. This is then a healthy democratic and citizen exercise?

Now for this we reflect from politics-democratic in our Mexico, otherwise we will become discrepants;The vote is an activity that citizens exercised to select its ruler, freely, democratic, so that they become "the voice of the people", as Octavio Paz said "a nation without free votes, it is a nation without voice, without eyes and without arms ”thought with which I agree, because the people who are not free to choose cannot demand progress as a nation.

To give us an idea of our citizen practice in democracy, in the last election on July 1, the Mexicans suitable for vote were 79 454 813, of these only 63.3% of voters What happened to 36.7% of remaining Mexicans? To speak and demand democracy, it is necessary that this be the star of this exercise, since it is a total mockery that the people are called democratic, if they do not participate in their electoral processes, which in addition to being the right are obligation.

In this practice, the concept of democracy enters specifically, since it is conceived as the mere exercise of political representation, it is importantof law with belonging and participation, we must not forget that power lies in each one, in the organization system made up of individuals.

To continue analyzing democracy as a form of government remembering Einstein, who once said "my political ideal, is democratic, thus, each one must be respected as a person and no one must be divinized" the interpretation of what a government should beDemocratic, in which there is a consensus between the people and the ruler, but currently democracy observes more hands than the minds of the rulers.

When the people become their ruler, the fallacies will die that in vain illusion the so -called citizens, the great robberies to the same homeland would be created dissidently to a prosperous, sovereign country. The people know what they need, the situation of any kind in their life, both economic and social.

It is clear that the concept of citizenship and democracy is not implemented along with meaning, it has evolved over time, the gap that exists in evolution from empires is clear to the form of government today.

We must begin by urgently recognizing and appropriating the assessment of our obligations and our rights, choosing that the State gives appropriate and really transparent accounts. When we look at the problems of other nations it saddens me that despite the difference there is no great advance, but it motivates to think that those who exist will call a larger one, we must be people who are constantly under construction, leave the posture of the citizenApatic that it is only aimed at ridiculing and criticizing to end crossed hands, we must promote and create nearby spaces where you live in democracy and estimate rights for the dignity of each person.

To conclude you must analyze what once Roosevelt said “democratic aspiration is not a simple recent phase of human history. It is the same human history ”, where it makes it clear that democracy and citizenship forms and forms a large part of society, because without democracy freedom is utopia. In the end democracy and citizenship are combined, there cannot be one without the other and become a fundamental piece of life in society because they are roles that belong to us, the position acquired in this regard is that what the so -called "democracy" in this country in this countryIt is the worst government system invented by man exceptioning everything else.

In the end, existence in society is an willing in which results are achieved and pursue. There are benefits that allow us to place at hand an end to get. In social life we move between what and we do. We yearn for goals and we have mechanisms that make it easier for us to approach what we pursue. Behind the referrals there is a representation, a way of being that allows society to achieve those ends.

What are then some of the peculiarities that could keep that character of the citizen? A dialogue condition. Know how to hear and know how to dialogue. Possess a speech and some opinions that can be exchanged with others, without losing sight of the fact that people are more important than ideas than ideas than ideas than ideas. Dialogue does not consist of what one point of view predominates on another, but in having the ability to reconfigure the way I see the world, because it has benefited from the vision contributed by the other. Human and social complications are so complicated that they can difficultily be understood with a single look. They demand the approximation of many to approach a more complete perspective of the situation. Dialogar demands respect, self-mastery and the conviction that the other has something valuable to say.

I am overexcited to see how in our country there are spirits that have emerged from the energy of someone who knew that he could make the difference. And the most notable, see what has managed to do it. It is clear that we all investigate a meaning about what it means to be completely linked to something. We all understand that living really is not simply to exist, that in a democracy it is not enough to take care of the family without feeling in charge of society

We must not waste hope. We must not speculate that the world is so difficult that nothing valuable can no longer. Citizenship is a task that is done little by little, in which there are advances and setbacks. A occurrence in which each one cooperates something and together we build a common house. An area in which we conceive satisfied because it is much that has been achieved and we feel fed up not having achieved many other challenges. But for that we are, the citizens, the protagonists of what we need to do. Being a citizen is working today to achieve a better future tomorrow.
