According to the books the democracy is the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives; or
A political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them .
According to what is happening in the Middle East, democracy is proclaiming war against civilians, killing people in the name of God and even burning its own country.
After all, who can define exactly what is the meaning of democracy ?
The democracy seems to be the appropriate way to defend the rights of selfish individuals, to obtain interests in some rich countries or to give a reason for violence and aggression.
However, without trying to give the right meaning of the word, I can understand that democracy cannot be divided into parts; it seems to be difficult to split democracy between many political objectives and goals.
Democracy cannot co-exist with bloodshed, revenge or atrocity.
Democracy is the given right of each citizen to live decently and honorably in his country with the fundamental rights that every person should have, notably the right to give his opinion, to speak, to think, to oppose and particularly to be represented by a legislative body, which believes that people’s dignity and rights are more crucial than wealth, authority and power.

Democracy by representatives is doomed to fail, because the most power-hungry (and thus the most corrupt) are always going to end up in power eventually. See:

As an alternative to representation, you may wish to explore collaborative governance, which is an attempt at true, unfettered democracy:

There are different meaning of the word " democracy" In the wast the word democracy is used instead of the word plutocracy. It is a drama performed once in 3 or 4 years to choose a pre-selected puppet.
