Democracy's Building Blocks
In an essay entitled “Democracy’s Building Blocks,” Gail Day argues that in order for South Africa to become a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous nation, the people must first understand what makes a society peaceful and the leaders must be pressured to create such a society. Day continues to press for the need to institute new checks and balances into the South African constitution and calls on the South African people to be at the forefront of this democratic movement. This essay was published in November of 1992 by Groundswell.
