Pros and contras between strong dictatorship and weak democracy.

　　　　　A dictator is a ruler who does not rule through democratic means. When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by an assembly.
　　　　　Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally—either directly or indirectly through elected representatives—in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, religious, cultural, ethnic and racial equality, justice, liberty and fraternity.
- Proposition of strong dictatorship :
1. Dictatorships breed development though efficient and straighfoward decision making.
2. Dictatorship is a more economic institution: elections are a luxury reserved for developed countries.
3. Dictatorships regimes can be a path for countries move on from civil wars and focus on development.
4. Dictatorship is a good breeding ground for personal discipline and order.
5. Dictatorships better control the variables of human development.

- Contraposition of strong dictatorship :
1. A strong dictatorship can be good if the dictator can/does help the country but usually someone who is strong and powerful would ignore the welfare of the citizens.
2. A democracy will last longer, because its structure will allow it to replace retired or dead members, and if its people continue to support it.
3. When a Dictatorship makes a decision;  it has no mechanism to balance the consequences of the result. Even if the dictator makes one or two sound decisions, it will leave the possibilities for all the false decisions to come to have no room for accountability.
4. A system that relies on the wise choice of a single person or clique to represent the interest of the whole country is wishful thinking. That any development that appears as a result of those choices will have no safety net when the dictators makes a false decision during the early stage of development.
5. It is true that dictator may breed personal discipline, but dictatorship itself is not a good breeding ground. Furthermore, the example of Taiwan, South Korea, Hong-Kong, and PR China should be omitted from the argument as they do not fit the definition of a 'Dictatorship'.
