It is the quality of the elderly. In a group of people or objects, the majority will be the group that has the most members or members. For example: “Most Americans like soccer”, “The majority of voters have expressed their support for this government”, “By decision of the majority of the neighbors, the new theater has been baptized as Teatro del Sun".
The human being lives stages in which everything seems to be in favor, good news, interesting opportunities arise and the protagonist seems to feel especially pampered by life. There are other stages in which the circumstances are unfavorable: stages of long-term unemployment, stages of difficulty in the couple's relationship when a crisis arises, broken personal desires.
This word is also used to name the highest number of positive or conforming votes in a vote. In a parliamentary session where the construction of a bridge over a river is being debated, seventy deputies vote in favor of the project, fourteen against and five abstain. The initiative was therefore approved by the majority, as only a minority opposed it.
It should be explained that both in any election and in a vote worth its salt, it must be established that there are different types of majority. Within the chambers of any state, it is common for one class or another to be asked to approve a topic, depending on its importance:
- Simple majority. It is the one that determines that a question is accepted if it has the favorable vote of the attendees of the entity that attended the vote.
- Qualified majority. In this case, we should say that this is the one who considers that for a question to be accepted it must have the “yes” of two-fourths of the members who have attended the assembly or of the members of the body.
- Special majority. This other type of majority becomes the one that dictates that a question will be approved as long as it has the vote in favor of three-quarters of the members that are part of the body or body in question.
- Absolute majority. This is what establishes that a decision is approved as long as it has the support of the majority of the members that make up an organization and not just those who have attended the meeting.
