The challenge of democracy

Abstract

“The challenge of democracy” is a work that aims to deepen the elementary concepts of democracy, within the scope of political sociology, but with a focus very much on teachers, since these are the 'true' artisans, the great builders of democracy. society. The objective of this work is to show how the teacher's work greatly shapes the society that is projected. Therefore, they should know a little more about democracy as it is an object of learning; she grows with school. Important concepts are presented that can help people enter “with their feet on the ground” what democracy is, which must be implemented in the daily lives of citizens. Being an eminently bibliographic investigation, the points of view of authors from various schools and different geographies are presented, which lead towards this aim. From a methodological point of view, the rational deductive methods that start from general reasoning to the particular and the inductive one that goes from particularities to generalizations were remarkable. We had some comparisons and gave high consideration to the historical-logical aspect. The results are achieved based on three approaches: 1. Starting point for the perception of democracy, where important concepts for implementing this reality are highlighted; 2. Remember Lincoln, Churchill, Schumpeter…, where different points of view are pointed out but which lead to a concrete understanding of what democratic reality is in everyday life; 3. Democratic Angola, where we seek to make a small foray into the history of Angola, which from 1991 onwards made its choice for the political system that seeks to have sovereignty in the will of the people.
