Before writing down the points, let us find out the exact definition of stability and society, and what it means to create stability in the society. The general idea of stability is the state or quality of being stable; society basically refers to a body of individuals living as members of a community; hence, stability in the society means that individuals living as members of a community having equal rights, and both stable and equal in terms of power.
Firstly, the reason why i believe that democracy is able to create stability in the society is because democracy allows the people of that are governed would be able to have the right to choose. Therefore, with the ability to choose their own government, the citizens of the country would be definitely happy. Through this form of action, it promotes utilitarianism. Stability could also refer to the fact that the country develops in terms of economics, politics, social and etc. In order to be financially stable, the country would definitely have to be able to control their money, and etc. In order for development to take place, the country needs to be democratic, because democracy is about the means used to achieve goals. Democratic values and processes imply peace, reconciliation, dialogue, consensus and, above all, intellectual and political choice. The two perfect examples would be Singapore and South Korea, they government is democratic and they are now among the world's richest countries. Thus, i feel that democracy creates stability in the society.
Secondly, democracy is able to do a good job in making sure stability is because it is a choice of a system to maintain stability to a certain extent rather than having no system at all, which would cause more chaos. Democracy is a political idea that is people-driven and not elite-driven, people-driven means the people of the country is the priority above all the others. Communism is supposedly to be people-driven too, everybody governed under communism is supposed to be treated equally, but if we take a look at North Korea, this is not true. The citizens in North Korea does not live as well compared to those living in the South. Thus with corruptions, communism will become elite-driven. Thus, not all government or political system is able create stability in the society, only democracy is able to complete that task.
However, despite the above two points, democracy might not be successful in creating in the society is because although the majority might be happy, when their elected political party governs the country. But, there is a significant minority that might oppose the government thus causing an uproar. Let us take a look at South Korea currently. The Grand National Party had managed to win 48% of the votes is now governing the country. The Grand National Party had discussed with the United States (U.S.), regarding the import of beef from the U.S., and have agreed under the condition that the beef that enters South Korea must not be more than 30 months old. However, the citizens are against this idea as they will never know whether the beef is more or less than 30 months old, after it has been cut, sliced and packaged. Thus, South Koreans are now rioting in a peaceful manner, by holding candles through the days and night, to voice out their opinions. This event shows how the government's actions deeply affects the citizens and shows how the minority can be significant enough to cause an uproar.
Therefore, although there might be some opposing points, I feel that democracy is able to create stability in the society. Although there might be a few events, where the government makes a wrong move and upsets the citizens of the country, that is not the case for every democratic government in the world. Take a look at Singapore, the citizens are happy with Singapore's democratic government, and Singapore is developing fast.

state of being 'stable'? - is not sufficient definition for 'stability'!
how does it promote 'utilitarianism'? so what if it does? of what relevance?
do not use 'etc' in an essay - use only for notes
writing shows poor thinking; no logical development from one sentence to the next; imprecise use of language
