Question: 4 English  Nederlands  Türkçe

If you don’t recognize yourself in a law, are you being oppressed or are you just part of a minority?

In an ideal democracy, laws are temporarily the best tools to serve the public interest as viewed by the majority, without violating the rights of minorities. In practice this seldom works.



Also, the majority is disagreeable about the ‘best manner’ and there are always those who claim their rights were violated and that they are being unrightfully harmed. 



Perhaps you are oppressed when you’re part of a group excluded from the debate; but when is that the case? That also calls for debate, because exclusion usually takes place sneakily and under false pretenses.
