Contemporary democracy, forged in a context of pluralism and cultural diversity, faces the challenge of reconciling the preservation of individual rights with the promotion of the common good. In this scenario, ethical deliberation emerges as an essential tool in the decision-making process that affects the community. The contemporary philosopher Jürgen Habermas proposed the 'discourse ethics' as a theoretical foundation for the validity of norms in a democratic society, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and rational consensus in the public sphere. In his work 'Between Facts and Norms,' Habermas states that 'the democratic process cannot do without ethical communication, which requires a constant adjustment between the normative system and the behavioral expectations of its citizens.' Considering the presented context and Habermas's perspective, analyze the role of ethical communication in the democratic dynamics and discuss to what extent the notion of 'fact' and 'norm' are relevant for decision-making within democratic values.a.
Ethical communication is essential for the democratic process, allowing citizens to actively participate in defining the norms that govern society, and the dynamic interaction between 'fact' and 'norm' illustrates the importance of considering both the objectivity of reality and democratic values.
b.
The role of ethical communication in democratic dynamics is to be a tool for imposing the dominant values of society, ensuring citizens' compliance with established norms.
c.
Habermas's 'discourse ethics' argues that the norms of a democratic society should be determined exclusively by majority will, regardless of public dialogue or argumentation.
d.
From Habermas's perspective, the relationship between 'fact' and 'norm' is hierarchical, with facts being subordinate to norms, implying that democratic decision-making should prioritize normative coherence over factual basis.
e.
According to Habermas, ethical communication is irrelevant for democratic dynamics, as norms are established by experts and politicians without the need for public justification or consensus, relying solely on technical criteria.

In the context of political and social philosophy, the term 'modernity' is often associated with a series of economic, political, and cultural transformations that began in Europe from the 15th century onwards and later spread to other continents. According to the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, 'liquid modernity is the type of social order that is capable of changing shape before the shape itself has been fully consolidated.' (Bauman, Z. Liquid Modernity). Considering Bauman's notion of modernity and the historical context of Europe during the Renaissance and the Reformation, analyze the implications of the 'liquidity' of modernity on the aspects of the formation of the modern state and on the social and cultural dynamics that emerged in the transition from feudalism to capitalism.
