Kressel "Democracies will turn to mass hate on the scale seen in non-democracies only if the governmental system falls to pieces. The best way to insure that this does not happen is through an educational program that imparts respect for the democratic system, critical thinking, and tolerance for diverse political, religious, ethnic, and racial groups." Pages 242-3. Ways to Combat Non-democracies: Democracy Matters "The Web site Democracy Matters informs and engages college students and communities in efforts to strengthen our democracy. We focus on the issue of money and politics in America—and on the promise and passage of campaign finance reform. Democracy Matters gives students a voice in the movement to remove private wealth from politics and initiates lifelong civic involvement."
