Arguments supporting thesis
 Democracy cannot be always presumed to be a universal value because it does not
have wide acceptance outside the west. Most of the Islamic countries have not
accepted democracy to be a valuable aspect of government rule. The ideological
confrontation between western Islamic nations and secular western nations has
created a barrier of allowing democracy to be a universal value.
 Democracy can also be considered to be a universal value because currently, the
countries, outside western nations are tending to adopt democracy as its prime
concern for the ruling government. The adaptation of democracy of nations outside
the west is considered a triumphant of democracy and is renamed as a liberal
democracy. A liberal democracy allows individual and liberal rights of citizen where
governments are bound to maintain the democratic rights of each citizen.
