"Democratization" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Democratization refers to the process of establishing or increasing democratic governance in a society, typically involving the expansion of political rights, the rule of law, and the participation of citizens in the political process. It can involve the transition from an authoritarian or totalitarian system to a more democratic one, as well as the strengthening of democratic institutions and practices within a country. Democratization can also refer to the global spread of democratic ideas and institutions, including international efforts to promote democracy through practices such as electoral assistance and human rights support.
To democratise means to make something more democratic, which means to give more power or authority to the people rather than to a small group or elite. It involves spreading power and decision-making responsibilities more widely throughout society, often through reforms or changes in government or social systems.
Democratises is the third person singular present tense of the verb "democratise", which means to make something democratic, i.e. to give people more power and say in how it is run, especially by making it possible for anyone to participate. For example: "The new policy will democratise access to education for all students."
Democritus was a Greek philosopher and physicist who lived in the 5th century BC. He was born in Abdera, a town in ancient Thrace (modern-day Turkey), and was a student of Leucippus. He is best known for his theory of the atom, which he developed independently of Leucippus.
