Democratization

"Republic of Indonesia now found himself in new phase of creating democratic society."

This is often heard form delegations or representatives of Indonesia’s allied countries when visiting this tropical country.

John Adams mentioned that in order to create a socially democratic communities it requires number of well educated people with three combining characteristics: virtue (good quality in morality), knowledge, and wisdom (cited in Walker, 2006). *

In Indonesia’s context, do we have those requirements?
If we had them, then why do we still have such aggressive and destructive behaviors among different groups of ethnicity, religious belief, sex, and socioeconomic status?
Then, what if it is true that we do not qualify** for transforming into democratic society but still persist in going to that direction? Are there any further destructive impacts? Democratization turns into DemoCRAZYation?

** Only 3% of 220 million of
Indonesian have experienced and graduated from higher education. (check data at
Sampoerna Foundation’s website) And among those small number, how many people still inherit admirable quality and understand local wisdom?
