“What is Government?”
Government is a system of ruling that is made by one or more people to control a system of people. It is made to give rules and restrictions to people. It can be made to dictate a people into doing what the ruler(s) wish or it can be beneficial to the people to keep them safe. It is a safety net for some people so that they feel like they have something to blame when things go wrong.
“How Do You Feel About Government?”
I see a government as a safety net, or something people created to put the blame on. If something goes wrong than people like to have something to blame so that they can disconnect themselves from the problem.
There can be upsides to a government however; it can be a benefit to the people by helping them with their needs. It puts a face on a nation so that other nations can interact with them in a simpler manner. It is basically a portal to the rest of the world. The only problem I see with this is that if the representative is giving a bad image of the nation than the rest of the world associates that nation as unfavorable and does not wish to interact with them.
I feel that governments are necessary when it comes to helping create a face for the nation and helping the people. I feel that when the ruler(s) don’t fulfill that than the government needs to be fixed so that it works to better the people.
”Based on the reading, Government is Good has your views, thoughts or ideas of government changed?”
Overall there has not been much of a change in my mind. Governments are going to have flaws in one way or another. If the people are headstrong and don’t want to change than society moves nowhere, while the people who are open to change will see improvement.
As humans we want to be on the top but the people on top don’t want to share. The higher ups push down on the lovers to further increase the gap between them to space it out. This is no surprise to me, I didn’t know some of the details of how large the gap is but that was provided.
