Answer:
Democracies accommodate various social differences or decisions in following ways:
(i) Democracy develops competitive attitude: Democracy usually develops a procedure to conduct competition among the social differences. This reduces the possibility of social tensions becoming explosive or violent. (ii) Democracy evolves mechanisms to negotiate: No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups, but we can certainly learn to respect these differences and we can also evolve mechanisms to negotiate the differences. Democracies are best suited to produce this outcome. (iii) Democracy must represent (he general view: The majority always needs to work with the minority so that governments function to represent the general view. Hence, majority and minority opinions are not permanent. (iv) Every citizen must have a chance of being in majority: It is also necessary that rule by majority does not become rule by majority community in terms of religion or race or linguistic group etc. Rule by majority means that in case of every decision or in case of election, different persons and groups may and can form a majority.
