In
an ideal world, Democracy would be the ideal political system that governs all
nations. This isn't an ideal world, nor is Democracy an ideal political system.
Many factors come into play when establishing a method to govern citizens, and
a sense of legitimacy is a huge contributor. Democracy doesn’t simply rise up after a revolution;
it goes through a process. People need to feel strongly about their beliefs in
a certain political system. If that happens to be democracy, people must be educated
and of sound mind when choosing representatives that they believe will best
represent their ideals and interests. Conflicts arise when uncertainty and
corruption infiltrate the system. When a person tastes the sweet pleasures of
power, it is often hard for him to release it peacefully. Power consumes an
individual who will often use it for personal gain. Ukraine is facing an
identity crisis. The Ukrainian government wants to pair up with Russia while citizens
have shown signs of support for a treaty with the EU. The government is
limiting the power of the people and increasing its own power. This is a
country with democracy already in place but with signs of protest, democracy is
losing legitimacy in Ukraine.
