Through this book, \"Reading Democracy in America,\" Yang Zhao guides readers to read it comprehensively, while also encouraging us, in the modern age, to reflect on and think about democracy, civic consciousness, and equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Democracy is a system we are familiar with, and equality is an important principle in democracy. \u003cbr\u003eCivic awareness is also an essential element in exercising this equality.\u003cbr\u003e While explaining Tocqueville's careful comparison between France and the United States, Yang Zhao also talks about Taiwan's democracy.\u003cbr\u003e For him, too, Democracy in America is not just an old classic.\u003cbr\u003e Actually, we are like that too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For us, democracy is a new product that is not even 100 years old.\u003cbr\u003e Looking at our modern history, democracy has been established, shaken, and strengthened in this short period of time.\u003cbr\u003e Looking at the capabilities and results of the past candlelight revolution and the growing civic consciousness, our democracy will only improve in the future.\u003cbr\u003e We are more interested in democracy, thinking about civic consciousness, and considering equality and human rights.\u003cbr\u003e In that sense, American democracy may be far ahead of us. \u003cbr\u003eBecause it is the country that created modern democracy, spread it around the world, and influenced the establishment of our country's constitution.\u003cbr\u003e It may be quite meaningful to look to America's past for our present and future.\u003cbr\u003e It would be like reading the fundamentals.\u003cbr\u003e The state of France after the French Revolution, which Tocqueville lamented, and the present state of American democracy, which he envied, will certainly serve as a compass for us who dream of a bright future.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You

Even 'American democracy'.\u003cbr\u003e It's true that the United States, a superpower, is great, and its influence in every field around the world is vast and widespread, but talking about American democracy somehow seems like repeating the obvious.\u003cbr\u003e When we were in school, we learned that there was democracy in ancient Greece (albeit quite limited). \u003cbr\u003eTherefore, the concept of democracy is not unfamiliar to us, and there is no need to be conscious of any significant differences from today's democracy.\u003cbr\u003e But surprisingly, after ancient Greece, democracy was only found in literature and thought, and it was only after America gained independence from Britain that it was applied to large areas of land and people.\u003cbr\u003e Here is Tocqueville's \"Democracy in America,\" which witnesses the process by which the democracy we currently enjoy and cultivate in the United States began and took root.\u003cbr\u003e The first thing we need to know from Tocqueville's Democracy in America is that Tocqueville was a French bureaucrat who had just experienced the French Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e The French Revolution, which left a deep impression on world history with its slogans of liberty, equality, and fraternity and its dramatic development, continued to throw France into turmoil for a long time thereafter. \u003cbr\u003eAnd across the Atlantic, in America, another revolution took place: the American Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e Compared to France, where people were constantly dying and order was difficult to find, the situation in the United States gradually found stability after the Revolutionary War.\u003cbr\u003e Tocqueville, who was a member of the old aristocracy and also a bureaucrat of the time, went to the United States to observe such an America.\u003cbr\u003e You must be tired of the never-ending chaos in France.\u003cbr\u003e After returning to France from his travels, Tocqueville poured the money he had earned in America into Democracy in America.\u003cbr\u003e He wanted to explain the situation in the United States to France, which was in a state of turmoil, and to persuade France to move towards a better situation.\u003cbr\u003e That's how Tocqueville's two-volume masterpiece, Democracy in America, came about.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd
