               Democracy level in a society depends on the way “decision burden” is divided. In industrial societies of the Second Wave the market expansion, the complexity of the social life provoked a decisional implosion just like the one determined today by the Third Wave.

               Alvin Toffler also underlines the existence of two camps among us: the Second Wave camp and the third Wave camp. The Third Wave camp knows the fact that the most pressuring nowadays problems can’t be solved inside an industrial civilization, because of the fact that the most important decisions for us can’t be taken in a political background.

              The most important political event of our age is the fight between the Second Wave and the Third Wave. People like Mill or Madison, Montesquieu who were at the middle of two civilizations were destined to create and invent the nowadays forms of politics. We have to be just like them because we are designed to create a new civilization, not to maintain the old one.

              All in all, Toffler’s message for us is to do something not just to sit and stare how things collapse among us because we can fall with them.

                Despite the fact that our systems are base on majority principle, the rise of diversity leads to impossibility to form majority, even in the major matters of life or death. Because of this the representative democracy is discredited.

                Nowadays incompetence of taking decisions is explained by the fact that there are too many decisions that have to be taken and problems that have to be discussed in too short time. Moreover, a political system has to be capable not only in taking decisions, but also applying them.

             We have to accept diversity and change political institutions inherited from the Second Wave which will lead to social evolution and democracy based on minorities of the XXI century.  It is necessary to create possibilities for citizens to take part directly at their government.
