    societies. Today‚ despite the press throwing out propaganda for sleaze‚ sensationalism and superficiality‚ using the media as a watchdog and guardian‚ remains deeply engrained in a democratic society. The reality is that the media in new and restored democracy does not always live up to expectations to the public. They are restrained by stringent laws‚ monopolies‚ and sometimes physical force. Serious reporting is difficult to sustain in competitive media markets that put a premium on the shallow and

    I believe that there were multiple occurrences contributing the end of Greek‚ or Athenian democracy. These back to back occurrences contributed to the weakening of their city as a whole and as a result the eventual end of democracy. Though it seemed like there might be moments of democracy from time to time‚ these events were really the death knell. The most major were the Decelean War‚ the plague and death of Pericles‚ and the Macedonian take over. When Sparta turned its military attentions to

    Elements of Democracy I believe Canada does not have a true democracy. Canada does not exhibit three of eight elements of democracy: political equality‚ common good and human dignity.

However the requirement to be able to vote and run for office in Canada is you must be a Canadian citizen and be above the age of 18. I think

What I found out is that DirecTV is actually two products advertised as one and is not until the second year of your contract that
