American founding fathers were concerned with the limits of democracy. Their concerns are similar to those of political philosophers such as John Stuart Mill (<em>On Liberty</em>) and Alexis de Tocqueville (<em>Democracy in America</em>). In particular, they were concerned that an excess of democracy would lead to a “tyranny of the majority.”

The tyranny of the majority refers to a situation in democratic rule where a self-interested majority can put their interests above those of the minority. It is an inherent weakness of majority rule and can lead to the oppression of minorities.

Alexander Hamilton wrote to Thomas Jefferson about this worry after The Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the constitution that was drafted reflects these concerns. The Electoral College is partly a safety mechanism to prevent the democratic victory of a tyrannical despot. Other mechanisms introduced were the Bill of Rights and the division of power, which prevents the centralization of all power in one individual, even a democratically elected one.

Values of Millennial and Generation X are very difficult from what was normal 30 years ago.

Today, relationships have become more casual and there are most instances of single-parents and free choices. Religion is gradually playing a lesser role which has meant legalization of gay marriage and opening up of alternative culture and genders.

There is also a surge in environmental awareness and a need to protect the environment and reduce wastage.

The values of the new generation would mean less spending on plastics, non-recyclable products and shunning of fossil fuels. Electric cars will become more popular and people would want to drive smaller cars.

We have already seen shifts in clothing as people rejected animal-derived fur. We might also see more spending on vegetarian and vegan food as that becomes popular.

<span>A Christian worldview has the stamp of reason and reality and can stand the test both of history and experience.  Every chapter in this book is predicated on a Christian view of things, a view of the world which cannot be infringed upon, or accepted or rejected piecemeal, but stands or falls in its integrity.  Such a wholistic approach offers a stability of thought, a unity of comprehensive insight which bears not only on the religious sphere, but on the whole of thought.  A Christian worldview is not built on two types of truth (religious and philosophical or scientific), but on a universal principle and all-embracing system that shapes religion, natural and social sciences, law, history, healthcare, the arts, the humanities, and all disciplines of study with application for all of life. </span>
