This paper aim to examine what has been brought to light, in general, by Mário Vieira de Mello (1912-2006), and called by him as ethical democracy project (extracted mainly from Cultural structures), in contrast to egalitarian democracy (derived mainly from Power structures). Furthermore, freedom as self-determination for human person as an individual by contrast to freedom as the right for choice, since the immediate freedom recognition as self-determination of the person is the key to relationship problem among human freedom not only to the State interest as well to Society. Accordingly this author, education may provide great contribution to democracy problem, moreover enriches the content to achieve true ideas of Culture. Broadly speaking, the inner freedom idea is one of those elements which education may be the conveyance to any democratic system.
