<strong>Democracy</strong>. Prepare: Prior to tackling this discussion question, order a pizza and some cold drinks and watch our<br />

weekly movie, <strong>After</strong> <strong>Democracy</strong>. As usual, make sure you have the discussion questions handy as your watch the movie<br />

so that you can take some notes and respond effectively to these questions. Also, review Chapters 8 to 10 in A Novel<br />

Approach to Politics. Reflect: Can the shortcomings of representative democracy, failing political parties and increasing<br />

distrust of government, be addressed within the current system, or is it time to explore a new political model? In this<br />

program, five top thinkers in political sociology discuss issues in modern democracy. ?Fareed Zakaria asserts that the<br />

West has been unable to impose short-term pain for long-term gain; John Keane points to political innovation in South<br />

Africa and India while agreeing that other democracies have many unsolved problems; Hilary Wainwright argues that the<br />

powers that control money have taken over government; William J. Dobson says that democracies ?show their dirty<br />

laundry,? but that that is their strength; and Cheng Li offers his perspective on what China?s post-communist growth<br />

could mean to the West?. The challenges for democracies are many but so are the benefits. Write: In your initial post of<br />

at least 200words, address the following: ? Describe two challenges to modern democracy identified in the film. ?<br />

Discuss two recommendations to address the shortcomings of modern democracy. ? Explain why or why not modern<br />

democracy will survive. Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer<br />

responses each must be at least 75 words. As your reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by<br />

examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the<br />

discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might consider analyzing a<br />

classmate?s argument concerning whether democracy will survive that was opposite your own argument.<br />
