Chapter –5 Outcomes of DemocracyRead More➔ Subject: Social Science Chapter: 5 – Outcomes of Democracy Instructions: Worksheet: Answer: a) Democracy is a form of government where the power is vested in the hands of the people, who participate in decision-making through elected representatives. b) Key features of a democratic system are: Answer: a) Political Empowerment: In a democratic system, citizens have the right to vote and elect their representatives. This empowers them to participate in governance and influence decision-making processes. b) Social Justice: Democracy ensures that all citizens are treated equally and have access to basic services, irrespective of their social background. It aims to reduce social inequalities and promote inclusivity. Answer: Economic growth in a democracy can lead to higher living standards and improved quality of life for citizens. For example, as the economy grows, there is a possibility of increased job opportunities, higher income levels, and better access to essential services, leading to overall development and an improved standard of living for people. Answer: Cultural Diversity as a Strength: In a democratic country, cultural diversity enriches society by promoting tolerance, mutual respect, and a vibrant exchange of ideas and traditions. For example, India’s diverse cultural heritage has contributed to its uniqueness and global appeal. Cultural Diversity as a Challenge: Managing cultural diversity can be challenging in a democratic country, as it requires balancing different cultural practices and ensuring the protection of minority cultures. For example, linguistic diversity in some regions can lead to demands for separate states, which can pose challenges to the unity and integrity of the nation. Answer: Yes, democracy can ensure the protection of individual rights because it operates on the principle of rule of law and equality. Here are two examples: a) Right to Freedom of Speech: In a democratic country, citizens have the right to express their opinions freely without fear of censorship or persecution. For instance, media outlets and social media platforms provide a platform for individuals to voice their opinions and criticize the government if necessary. b) Right to Equality: In a democratic system, all citizens are equal before the law, and discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or caste is prohibited. For example, affirmative action policies are implemented to ensure marginalized communities have equal access to education and employment opportunities. Answer: One challenge faced by democracies in achieving the outcome of social justice is income inequality. The gap between the rich and the poor can widen due to various factors like unequal distribution of resources and opportunities. Measure to Address the Challenge: To address this challenge, the government can implement progressive taxation policies, where higher income earners are taxed at higher rates, and the revenue generated is used to fund social welfare programs for the underprivileged. Additionally, the government can invest in education and skill development initiatives to empower the economically disadvantaged and bridge the income gap. Note: The above worksheet is a sample and can be customized further based on the specific content covered in the CBSE curriculum and the textbooks used by the school.
