Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
All societies possess some social differences. Often, such differences can lead to divisions and conflicts. History has many examples of such divisions turning into bloody battles. Democracies are the best form of government for accommodating social divisions and engendering a sense of harmony. In dictatorships, often, the differences are neglected or suppressed. Historically, such tyrannical powers have run terrifying massacres of minority communities.
On the other hand, democratic countries tend to respect and negotiate social divisions. However, power dynamics will continue to exist between majority and minority communities. Democracy functions by the consideration of minority opinions by the majority. Similarly, no single community can constitute the majority opinion in a democracy. The majority opinion will and should differ according to the issue. Every community should have an equal chance to become a majority.
