Democracy

I thought that the description on the different types of democracies was very interesting. Especially the competitive democracy. We just had the elections for the different officers in my fraternity a few weeks back, and they followed this exact same pattern. Different candidates had different ideas on how certain aspects of our chapter should be run. This separated them enough so that there would be very little overlapping. However, as explained in the web lecture, sometimes this can lead to a minority collection of people in the brotherhood having their views either ignored or overshadowed by the views of the majority who elected the officer.
