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

You are right about education level of society. Education is related with democracy. Democracy may be a kind of dictatorship if people in society are not well educated. Politicians may use democracy for their own benefits. It is a little bit dangerous.

This is always true because the number of well educated and smart people will always be smaller than those uneducated and dumb and all of them have the right to an equal vote.
How can a vote of a university professor who is an expert in the field be equal to a vote of a moron with an IQ of 60 and completely no education? There will never be enough experts to outweigh the votes of the morons, so the only way is for the experts to persuade the morons to vote their way. As we know this rarely works because if someone approaches the morons and gives them something that will directly benefit them, their vote will quickly change.
