Countries in three group

Countries in Three Groups

 

Over 400years ago, almost all countries were monarchy. This typical system was that one king or emperor controlled his country. Moreover some nobilities have their manors and peasants. That is to say that one people has huge power. So, it had existed from ancients time to recent times. Some peasants and slaves sometimes rose in revolt. But they always were put down the revolt. One of the famous Gladiator ( Spartacus) rose in revolt to the Roman Empire. It is called Third Slave War. Then many slaves also took part in the war. But unfortunately, they could not defeat the Roman Empire although they had fought against the empire for 2 years. So, I think that it is very hard for normal people to defeat huge power. However, there was a big happening that people could defeat the huge power from 1641 to 1649 in UK. It is called Puritan Revolution. In this revolution, Charles1 was executed by people. And the government power transferred from one people to national assembly and the public. In France, Louis 16 was killed with Marie Antoinette by French people in French Revolution. Today, Country can be divided into three groups: democratic countries, socialist countries and despotic countries.

 First, Democratic countries have fair and popular election, disclosure of government and freedom of expression. This democratic system is linked in liberalism, constitutionalism, capitalism and parliamentary government. And these days, Almost all countries adopt democratic system. Japan and Philippines are also democratic countries. On the other hands, some intellectuals point out that democratic system intend to be mobocracy. The reason is why the mass of people take part in the process of decision making and they decide a plan of action through election and national assembly. Unfortunately, All mass of people are not intellectual. Therefore, they are sometimes controlled by mass media and take action on their own feelings. However, almost all people support this democratic system, because democratic countries guarantee human right and free economic activity of people basically. Furthermore, all people can also take part in political movement and operate government through election and running as a candidate at a general election.

Second, there are some socialist countries in this world. When the age of mass production began as a result of the Industrial Revolution, the gulf between rich and poor became very wide. Many poor children and wage earner were worked at dangerous area like mine and unsanitary factories. Then, there were a few capitalist and many poor worker. So, socialist countries came into this world to correct this defect of capitalism. Therefore, socialist countries insist on restriction or abolition of market economy system, planned economy, social security and welfare state. Especially, the Soviet Union had had as huge power as America until Soviet broke down. The reason is why Soviet was one-party dictatorship and bureaucracy. In other words, socialist countries intend to be decomposition. Before the breaking down, there were many socialist countries in this world. But now, a few socialist countries exist. For example, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, North Korean and Syria. But China and Vietnam’s economy are mixed economy.

Third, there are a few despotic countries in this world When the country was suffered starvation or the instability of a political situation, people hope that strong leader conduct their countries. One representative example is Nazi Germany. And there were some military governments too. For example, Cambodia (the Pol Pot regime), Iraq (the Hussein Saddam regime ) and Chile ( Pinochet Augusto regime). Today, there is still military government in Republic of Fiji and the Central African Republic.
