This can only be done through the learning of a new language common to all, but not necessarily at the same time for all the cultures and countries. Only then will we be able to speak of interaction and regulation rather than power and counter-power. The world is getting smaller; people travel more; and they have greater access to information worldwide. As a result, people are also becoming more conscious of their needs, and the universal concept has become: democracy, meaning the need for people to have and to respect the same values, through a common language. But what common language can build the bridge between politics and people, between the symbolic and the real languages? Topics to answer these questions: I—The Unconsciousʼ Symbolic Language: J. Lacanʼs Theory II—The Language of Democracy 1) What does Democracy mean? 2) What could a Democratic Language be? III—A Real Language Building the Bridge between the Peopleʼs and the Political Minds The Symbolic Language obeys the Laws of the Other and therefore represents the enemy of Democracy. Only a Real and Adult Language, which obeys the Laws of Life, can allow for the maturity needed to bring people and politics closer.
