We all know that democracy means rule of the people. However, If a decision is adopted by the majority, It doesn't mean that It's totally true. Especially If the majority haven't good education level. In this case, should we consider that democracy Is dangerous for the global interest of the people ? What should we do in such cases
I hope you get my point

Well, that is true. It's not necessarily that the majority agrees with something doesn't mean that it is helpful, take "mob mentality" for example. They just follow a certain trend not knowing if it would benefit them or not. They just follow the majority and act on their basest instincts. I believe the remedy here is the promotion of individual thinking and freedom of speech. Mostly we should encourage people to their own opinion about a subject without being affected by other's. We should be taught to see a topic for what it is and in different sides.
