Teaching advanced college students in the faculty of philosophy, one can observe that they reflect on democracy at a sophistic level (Rosen calls this phenomena overprofessionalization). At the same time, most of these students have never been in the middle of a real democratic discussion. All cognitive competencies need to be developed by practicing them repeatedly. Democracy is an advanced personal, interpersonal, and social competence, not only a political framework and constitution. Lind once established the concept of democratic personality. I would like to illustrate this concept by my own discursive experiences with democratic education
