"The democratic public is still largely inchoate and unorganised"

John Dewy said in 1927...what do you feel in this 21st century???

We are living in a global village..as is thought of...but whose village...who can enter this INFLATED VILLAGE? Where is the key?I believe "the people" who have enough money...dictionarized as Capitalists..really have the key to this global village!!!

In this blog I just want to have some answers to the questions I am covered with. I feel the PUBLIC, in the real sense of the term, are not exposed to this global village but continue to live to survive. We talk about democracies, change of Government, politics,but forget to get the opinion of those people who matters the most in the developmental process.Is democracy only what we call 'a voting right' to form a government, to rule a country? Or democracy represents the interviews,news,gossips in media channels to enhance a TRP? Because at the end of the day a media channel has to reap its profits by selling its news in the market. The general public do not have any idea regarding the recipe of the news sold in the market.

I feel this debate of Dewy has to go long with reference to Gramsci...I expect some comments to be added so that this blogg becomes a debate in itself!!!
