A challenge is an opportunity for progress

• Challenges to Democracy (C10)

"A challenge is an opportunity for progress." Support the statement with your arguments.

Answer

1. A challenge is not just a problem.

2. A challenge is a difficulty that carries within it an opportunity for progress.

3. Once we overcome a challenge we go up to a higher level than before.

4. Legal challenges alone cannot overcome challenges to democracy like inequality, poverty, unemployment illiteracy, regionalism, casteism, communalism, etc.

5. Legal constitutional changes and the cooperation of the citizen is the need of the hour.

A challenge is not just any problem. We usually call only those difficulties a challenge which are significant and which can be overcome. A challenge is a difficulty that carries within it an opportunity for progress. Once we overcome a challenge, we go up to higher level than before. Different countries face different kinds of challenges. At least one fourth of the Globe is still not under democratic government. The challenge for democracy in these parts of the world is very stark.
