Conclusion

Our research clearly indicates that the youth of Pakistan is in support fordictatorship. Even though almost everywhere around the world democracy is andhas been promoted. Nations have succeeded in democratic rule. This is the resultof poor governance and implementations of policies in democratic rule. Actionsand way of governance has changed the minds of youth of Pakistan that 90% are insupport for dictatorship that is a rule by one unrestricted by a constitution or law.

Marshall Law is declared when people's government fails to control the country orsimply when there is panic with the people of country and considered as adisgrace for any nation but as you can see in question#8 we asked people that Doyou think marshal law brings a bad impression to the country's name? Almost 50%people believe opposite to the general world impression.

Results also show that 70% of people have experienced more stress in democraticrule. Seems strange that people are feeling more comfortable in Marshall Lawwhich use to be declared during times of disaster or great danger.

Question 14 results concluded that youth is in love with dictatorship almost 90%results shows that people feel more income and life security in dictatorship.
