Abstract

Democratic political culture has become widely popular and has been adopted by many countries as their system of governance since the end of the Cold War between the Western superpowers, particularly the United States and the former Soviet Union. Political systems that use democratic governance cannot immediately create a complete democratic political culture among their citizens. Instead, it requires development, education, and the cultivation of democratic values until the political culture aligns with the way of life of the country's citizens. People must have a genuine desire for democratic governance and develop a political consciousness that reflects democratic values. These values include: 1) awareness and faith in democratic governance, 2) consciousness of rights and freedoms, 3) awareness of fighting for one's rights and respecting the rights of others, 4) awareness of majority rule and minority rights, 5) awareness of the principle of equality, 6) awareness of justice, 7) awareness of tolerance, and 8) awareness of the rule of law.
