(i) Democracies accommodate various social divisions. For example, Belgium has peacefully solved her ethnic problems and solved the differences. (ii) All democracies usually develop a procedure to conduct competition, i.e. conduct elections, power-sharing, etc. This reduces the possibility of tensions, due to social divisions, turning violent or explosive. (iii)Democracy teaches people to respect the differences and resolve conflicts among different groups peacefully. In non-democratic countries, rulers either turn a blind eye to or suppress internal differences. For example, Sri Lanka. The plus point in democratic regime is the ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts. (iv)A democracy is not just a rule by majority opinion. The majority always needs to work with the minority so that the government represents the general view. (v) A democratic government ensures that the rule by the majority does not become autocratic in terms of religion, race or linguistic group etc. It tries that in case of every election,different persons and groups can form a majority. It tries to see that every citizen has a chance to be in majority at some point of time and is not barred on the basis of birth.All these things ensured by a democratic regime lead to a peaceful and harmonious life.
