Democracy is defined as the government of the people. In time this definition has withered into a term no longer befitting to the voice of the people. No longer does it fit to be called a protection of liberties and equal rights. Today’s democracy vaguely promises freedom and equality, but is yet to deserve the actual title. Instead of already savouring the rights to make lawful decisions, the people of democracies challenge the extent

Straight Edge Subculture (sxe)
The straight edge subculture is a clean lifestyle movement born in a “just say no” era, which has received little attention since its origination in the 1980’s. Subcultures, like social movements, engage in conflict over cultural reproduction, social integration, and socialization; they are often especially concerned with the quality of life, self-realization, and identity formation (Habermas 1984-87; Buechler 1995). The basic definition was created during this time in a hardcore-punk song of the Washington, DC,
